One set of test equipment covers all of PCI Express, up to PCIe 5.0 at 32 GT/s. Teledyne LeCroy's LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscopes and Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R (SQA-R) MP1900A are certified for all PCIe compliance tests. Superior electrical performance and tighter integration mean the best repeatability, with faster test times.
LabMaster 10Zi-A and the SQA-R MP1900A are approved for all official PCI-SIG electrical tests:
Teledyne LeCroy QualiPHY software for PCIe 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 fully automates the oscilloscope and MP1900A for calibration and testing. This simplifies complex processes and eliminates confusion and setup errors.
With time and temperature jitter drift of less than +/- 2% (2 days, +/- 5 deg), the MP1900A has the highest signal quality for the most repeatable results.
A typical PCIe 4.0 receiver test calibration requires hundreds of SigTest analyses at ~3 minutes per run. Competitive scopes only have 4- or 8-core processors with 16 or 32 GB of RAM. The LabMaster 10Zi-A has a 20-core processor and up to 192 GB of RAM more parallel analysis means faster receiver test calibration.
Calibration time with the Teledyne LeCroy-Anritsu solution is hours faster than competitive solutions.
Automated characterization and compliance testing are vital to bringing a product to market, but when failures occur, it falls to the rest of the instruments’ toolbox to help locate and debug problems. Teledyne LeCroy and Anritsu provide visibility into the most layers of the PCI Express interface, to get to the root-cause of issues faster.
After a training operation, the MP1900A displays the actual Training State transition logs, so the state transition path (route) and transition times can be analyzed in detail.
State transitions can be selected as the oscilloscope acquisition trigger, allowing the link training operation to be analyzed in depth using ProtoSync on the oscilloscope.
PCIEBus Decode and ProtoSync protocol analysis software provide views of the complete protocol stack, from physical layer to transaction layer. Physical layer and protocol views are linked directly to each other at all times touch a packet on either software interface, and the oscilloscope will highlight and zoom to that packet in both views.
QualiPHY PCIe software leverages Teledyne LeCroy’s ProtoSync, allowing you to switch seamlessly from electrical to protocol views during the LEQ tests—a feature unique to our solutions. If a failure or issue is detected, the oscilloscope, BERT and Device Under Test are already configured to provide unmatched visibility into the entire link training operation.
The combination of Teledyne LeCroy LabMaster 10 Zi-A and Anritsu SQA-R MP1900A provides versatility in the lab. Use the same instrument set to test:
The following instrument configuration is fully capable of PCI Express 5.0 transmitter and receiver testing:
Many future serial data technologies are expected to leverage multi-level signaling to increase data throughput without increasing analog bandwidth requirements.
PCI Express 6.0 will be based on 32 Gbaud PAM4 – Teledyne LeCroy and Anritsu are fully prepared for this new test challenge. The LabMaster 10 Zi-A is has PAM4 analysis capability to 64 Gbaud and beyond. The MP1900A has PAM4 PPG modules up to 64 Gbaud and PAM4 error detection to 58 Gbaud.
LabMaster 10 Zi-A and MP1900A are USB-IF approved.
QPHY-USB3.2-TX-RX automates Tx testing and Rx calibration and testing.
QPHY-USB4-TX-RX covers USB-C® CTS for:
QPHY-DisplayPort DisplayPort 1.4 Tx testing.
Combining the Teledyne LeCroy LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscope and QualiPHY automated compliance test software with the Anritsu SQA-R MP1900A BERT results in the most powerful characterization, compliance and debug solution available. First-line support for the solution is available directly from the industry’s most experienced PCI Express field support team at Teledyne LeCroy.
LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscopes a platform for all generations of PCIe testing, at all required bandwidths:
The LabMaster 10 Zi-A has a 20-core processor and up to 192 GB of RAM for significantly faster receiver test calibration and transmitter testing.
QualiPHY software options QPHY-PCIE3-TX-RX, QPHY-PCIE4-TX-RX, and QPHY-PCIE5-TX-RX fully automate all aspects of PCIe compliance testing:
Teledyne LeCroy provides full application support for all integrated electrical test solutions.
The Anritsu SQA-R MP1900A is a high-speed BERT solution. In one box, it combines:
With time and temperature jitter drift of less than +/- 2% (2 days, +/- 5 deg), the MP1900A has the highest signal quality for the most repeatable results.
