Xgig Slimline 8-lane Interposer Module for PCI Express 5.0

Interposer Module for PCI Express 5.0 Platform

The PCIe 5.0 8-lane Slimline Interposer enables debug and verification of new ICs, new system hardware designs, FPGA firmware, validation of system BIOS and software.
Xgig® Slimline 8-lane Interposer Module for PCI Express 5.0

The VIAVI Solutions Xgig® 8-lane Slimline Interposer for PCI Express® 5.0 enables debug and verification of new ICs, new system hardware designs, FPGA firmware, validation of system BIOS and software—and supports manufacturing test. It provides connection between the VIAVI PCIe 5.0 Analyzer/Exerciser/Jammer platform and a system under test. This Interposer installs between an 8-lane Slimline host port and a Slimline attached endpoint device which are common in storage equipment applications where low-profile Slimline cables are routed internally between server components. It operates at the 32GTps, PCIe 5.0 rate, across up to 8-lanes (bi-directional).

Benefits

  • Provides consistent, repeatable capture of link training, equalization negotiation and other data 
  • Faster analysis and problem isolation
  • Quicker time to market and earlier revenue
  • Lower engineering costs

Applications

  • Supported by VIAVI Analyzer tools for trace capture with filter, trigger and more 
  • Supports error injection for deep system analysis
  • Works together with the 5P16 and 5P8 Analyzer/Exerciser/Jammer platforms 

Highlights

  • Operates up to 32GTps, PCIe 5.0 data rates 
  • Downward compatible with PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, and data rates of 2.5, 5.0, 8.0 and 16GTps 
  • Supports link widths up to and including 8-lanes 
  • Up to two interposers are stackable to support wider lane widths
  • Supplied with high-quality custom cables for Analyzer attachment
  • Two cables provided for optional clocking sources
  • Supports Analyzer side-band signal triggering and capture via custom cable 
  • Supports Jammer error injection for deep system analysis and debug
  • Data path uses high-speed linear redrivers to ensure good signal capture with minimal tuning 
  • Interposer power is independent of host system. A 120/220 AC in, 12V/3A DC out converter is included 
  • LEDs give quick indication of power and operation 
  • Supported by VIAVI Xgig tool suite including Trace Control, ExpertTM and Serialytics™
