Xgig Flying-Lead, 4-lane Interposer Module for PCI Express 4.0

Highlights

• Operates up to and including 16GTps, PCIe 4.0 data rates
• One Pod supports link widths of up to 4-lanes.  Multiple pods can expand link widths up to 16-lanes.
• Downward compatible with PCIe 1.0 to 3.0 data rates of 2.5, 5.0 and 8.0GTps
• Eight differential probe cables support simultaneous upstream and downstream capture
• Supplied with two high-quality SFF-8674 equivalent custom cables for Analyzer attachment
• Data path uses high-sensitivity amplifiers to ensure good signal capture with little or no tuning
• Supports Analyzer side-band signal triggering and capture
• Interposer power is independent of host system.
• Power supply, 120/220 input, 12V/3A output
• LEDs provide quick indication of power and status
• Size: 170 x 107 x 34 mm (6.7 x 4.2 x 1.3 in)
• Works together with multiple VIAVI Xgig PCIe Analyzer chassis types
• Provides consistent, repeatable capture of link training, equalization negotiation and other data
• Supported by Xgig tool suite including Trace Control, Expert™ and Serialytics™

Applications

• Captures signals between controller ICs on the same PCB where there is no connector providing an access point
• Debug and verify new hardware ICs, new system hardware implementations, firmware, validation of system BIOS and software, and supports manufacturing test
• Works together with multiple VIAVI Xgig PCIe Analyzer platforms

Benefits

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