Active Interposer Card for PCIe 2.0
The Gen2 x8 and x16 Active Interposers support data rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1) and 5.0 GT/s (Gen2), and lane widths up to x16 ( for the x8 interposers, the PCIe connector on the card will support PCIe expansion cards up to x16, but the lane width will be negotiated down to a maximum of x8 when passing through the interposer card). The interposers can be used with host PCIe expansion slots as small as x1 by using card edge reducer adapters.
The Gen2 x16 Active Interposer is for use with the Summit T3-16 Analyzer (or with two Summit T3-8 Analyzers). The Gen2 x8 Active Interposer is for use with the Summit T3-16, the Summit T3-8 and the Summit T28.

Dish Interface Board for Gen3 Mid-bus Probe
The Teledyne LeCroy PCIe 3.0 x8 Dish interface platform provides a new way for developers to attach a protocol analyzer to probe PCI Express buses during the prototype stage of board development. The dish board is a 5" (12.7 cm) diameter board constructed with Rogers 4350 low-loss dielectric, with 62 pairs of high-speed SMP connectors for signal attachment, and a full-size PCIe Mid-bus probe footprint in the center of the board.
The Teledyne LeCroy dish board provides a means for developers to introduce a mid-bus footprint in an easy, flexible and mechanically stable design. The board design provides a practical means of easily connecting a mid-bus probe to the footprint integrated into the center of the platform during early prototype development and test of new PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 designs. The board can be mechanically fixed to the DUT through the use of 2 or more of the six provided mounting holes for standoffs. The size of the standoffs can be varied to accommodate component heights on the DUT board.
Connections from the dish to the DUT are made using the high-speed SMP connectors mounted on the dish board, which allow connection to test points on the DUT using standard coaxial cables. This allows far more flexibility in connecting signals from different locations on the DUT board, or even from multiple boards and backplanes. Some examples of the flexibility provided by the dish board include connecting an analyzer in a simple chip-to-chip serial interconnect test environment (as shown below), connecting an add-in card via a standard PCIe slot, and connecting a cable or backplane assembly to test signal transmission in real application environments.
Note: The Dish Interface can be used to test Gen1, Gen2 or Gen3 PCI Express buses. However, the probe footprint incorporated into the board is the Gen3 footprint, so a Gen3 Mid-bus probe should be used to attach a protocol analyzer to the Dish Interface regardless of the data rate of the bus under test.
