PCI-Express and Type-C Interface Test System

Teledyne LeCroy and Anritsu Test Solution

Anritsu and Teledyne LeCroy have partnered to offer customers the best possible solution from their product lines.

Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A LabMaster 10 Zi-A Oscilloscopes

With the explosive increase in data communications volumes due to the popularity of smartphones and mobile terminals, communications bus interfaces are adopting the faster PCI-Express Gen5 (32 Gbit/s) standard. In addition, peripheral devices, such as personal computers, smartphones, and tablets, are handling more data, so there are high expectations for commercial rollout by these products of the USB4 standard supporting maximum speeds of 40 Gb/s.

This solution combining the Anritsu Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A with the Teledyne LeCroy LabMaster 10Zi-A digital oscilloscope and QPHY software not only supports PCI-Express systems, but also covers USB3.2/4 and Thunderbolt for the world's widest test coverage.

PCI-Express Automation Solution

Complex PCIe 3.0/4.0/5.0 Calibration and Compliance Tests are fully automated by combining the MP1900A and 10Zi-A.

Fully Automated Tests

The Teledyne LeCroy QPHY software handles the required automation and control of the LabMaster 10Zi-A and SQA-R MP1900A to execute the PCIe transmitter, receiver, and Link Equalization Compliance Tests.

Fully Automated Tests

The PCI-Express test requires multiple power cycling, resets, and transmitter preset switching operations. The Teledyne LeCroy TF-PCIe4 -CONT CBB automation controller is a low-cost accessory for direct connection to the oscilloscope. It is fully integrated with the QPHY-PCIe4-Tx-Rx software to completely automate PCIe 4.0 tests, helping cut test times even further while eliminating operator errors in a complex test environment.

Refined Test Functions

PCI Express testing requires integrated verification of both protocol and physical layers. The MP1900A has flexible PCI-Express Link Equalization and Link Training analysis functions for perfect LTSSM control, navigation, and trigger generation. Eye, Jitter, and noise analysis tools plus the LabMaster 10 Zi-A and other tools provide a comprehensive platform for debugging PCI-Express from the PHY to Protocol layers

From PHY to Protocol Layers
Combining the Anritsu LTSSM analysis functions with the Teledyne LeCroy ProtoSync protocol decode software facilitates fast and effective Link Equalization debugging.
