What's New

MP1900A PN Skew Evaluation Solution Demonstration Video
MP1900A PCIe® 6.0 Rx and Tx LEQ Tests Demonstration Video

The growing spread of AI and machine learning is increasing the need for data centers, networks, and storage systems to process large amounts of data at high speed. Against this backdrop, PCI-SIG has drafted the base specification for PCIe 7. Like PCIe 6, PCIe 7 uses PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4) as its modulation scheme, but increases the transfer rate from 64 GT/s to 128 GT/s.

The Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A Series is a high-performance, 8-slot modular BERT. It supports 32 Gbit/s multi-channel PPG/ED, 64 Gbaud PAM4 PPG/ED, and jitter/noise injection functions that can be expanded to suit specific measurement applications, making it ideal for signal integrity analysis of increasingly high-speed devices.

Combining the PAM4 PPG/ED MU196020C/MU196040B with the newly developed Re-Driver MU196060A in the all-in-one MP1900A simplifies the PCIe 5 (NRZ) Compliance Test worst-case configuration while supporting accurate Rx LEQ evaluation for the optimum return path using the powerful equalizer. In addition, this solution provides Link Training for PCIe 6 as well as an Rx evaluation solution for PCIe 7, supporting early validation against the PCIe 6 CEM and PCIe 7 Base specifications.
