Signal quality analyser supports PCI Express 6.0

26 October 2022 Test & Measurement

Anritsu Corporation has announced that its Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A now supports the PCI Express 6.0 (PCIe 6.0) Base Specification Receiver Test (Rx test). As well as adding support for generating PCIe 6.0 Base Spec. Compliance Test patterns, the MP1900A-certified PCIe 3.0/4.0/5.0 tester now has an SKP function to filter SKP packets to support separate clock architecture (SRNS). This update offers customers an efficient test solution, meeting their design requirements by including automation software to calibrate the stressed test signal and measure jitter tolerance using real-time oscilloscopes from collaborating partners. As a result, one MP1900A now covers tests from PCIe 3.0 to PCIe 6.0.

Anritsu is continuing to develop future quality evaluation for PCIe equipment by actively proposing new technologies to PCI-SIG, and extending its tester functions with a focus on the PCIe 6.0 Base Spec. Compliance Test.

The spread of 5G services facilitating large data communications at high speeds is driving rapid evolution of new technologies, such as edge computing, IoT, and AI. At the same time, the internal interfaces of transmission equipment, servers, and storage in data centres forming the base of this technical revolution, are switching to the faster and larger-capacity PCIe standard.

The MP1900A is a high-performance bit error rate test (BERT) for Rx tests of high-speed computing and data communications interfaces including PCIe, USB, Thunderbolt, and 400/800GbE. Link Training and LTSSM functions are supported by a level PPG for high-quality waveforms, high-sensitivity input ED, high-accuracy jitter generation source (SJ, RJ, SSC, BUJ), and CM-I/DM-I, facilitating various applications, including compliance and margin tests together with troubleshooting.
