PCI Express 5.0 technology solution delivers speed, margins

KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES PCIe 5.0 comprehensive transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) testing solution provides the speed and margins needed to meet the Peripheral Component Interconnect or PCI Express 5.0 Technology (PCIe Gen5) standard. Solution enables the design and validation of circuits capable of tolerating significantly attenuated signals at 32 GT/s. Product utilizes aggressive equalization techniques helping the receiver restore the quality of the transmitted signal, allowing for error-free recovery of the digital information from the PCIe Tx signal.  Due to these high data transfer rates, units must accept a heavily degraded signal resulting from the channel’s high-frequency loss characteristics, resulting in unacceptable bit error ratios (BERs).
