SW02PCIE PCI Express Full Tx Test License Suite

Data Sheets

General Information

 

The Keysight PCI Express Full Tx Test Suite is part of the subscription-based Oscilloscope Compliance Test Software Suites. This suite covers transmitter test (TX) Validation licenses for PCI Express with coverage the PCI Express technology up to and including PCIe v6.0. In addition to Tx Validation licenses for PCI Express, this suite also provides the support of the Advanced PCIe Protocol Decode/Trigger Software.  This subscription model enables you to have support for testing and validating PCI Express devices as the standard progresses from one generation to the next.

 

Key Features

 

The Keysight SW02PCIE PCI Express Full Tx Test License Suite1 provides you with two substantial benefits when it comes to performing transmitter testing of PCI Express devices. First, it provides you with a full subscription license to the D9050PCIC and D9040PCIC transmitter test software for use with PCI Express testing under the PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 specification revisions. Second, it enables support for the latest generation of PCIe 6.0 transmitter testing measurements in the D9050PCIC application2.  

 

• All the features provided by the D9050PCIC (PCIe 5.0) and D9040PCIC (PCIe 4.0) and D9010PCIP (Advanced PCIe Protocol Decode/Trigger Software for PCIe v5/4/3/2/1), SATA/SAS). The SW02PCIE provides you with a license to run all three software packages. Please see each of those individual product data sheets for a complete list of those product’s standard features.

 

• Supports Transmitter Testing under the PCIe® 6.0 BASE specification at 64, 32, 16, 8, 5, and 2.5 GT/s 

 

• PCIe 6.0 BASE TX measurements3 including SNDR4, RLM4, uncorrelated TJ, uncorrelated DJ, uncorrelated PWJ, pseudo package loss and other parameters defined in the PCI Express BASE specification

 

• Four-level noise compensation available for PAM-4 SNDR and Jitter measurements.

 

• PCI 6.0 reference clock measurements as defined in the PCIe 6.0 BASE spec

 

• Supports both real-time data capture as well as off-line analysis of previously captured waveforms

 

• Test setup wizard for ease-of-use

 

• Pass/fail margin analysis

 

• Support for both full-swing and low-power, half-swing devices

 

• Supported on UXR Series real time oscilloscopes having a minimum bandwidth of 50 GHz for PCIe 6.0 BASE measurements.

 

Description

 

The SW02PCIE PCI Express Full Tx Test License Suite for PCI Express 6.0 provides you with a fast and easy way to verify and debug your PCI Express 6.0 design for both silicon validation (as per the PCIe® 6.0 BASE specification).

 

The PCI Express electrical test software allows you to automatically execute PCI Express electrical transmitter tests, and it displays the results in a flexible report format. In addition to the measurement data, the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your device passed or failed each test.

 

The SW02PCIE PCI Express Full Tx Test License Suite performs a wide range of electrical tests as per the PCI Express PCI Express 6.0 specification and supports testing transmitters that operate at 64, 32, 16, 8, 5, and 2.5 GT/s. In addition to full swing (800 mV) testing, the software also supports testing for low-power, half-swing devices (400 mV).
