Teledyne LeCroy (Japan: Teledyne Japan, Address: Fuchu, Tokyo, Representative Director: Nao Hara) today expanded its patented CrossSync PHY technology to support PCI Express. We announced support for the 6.0 specification. This technology-enhanced CrossSync PHY software provides the industry’s only cross-layer (physical layer to protocol) analysis solution for PCIe 6.0.
The new PCIe 6.0 Card Electromechanical (CEM) interposer (PE6117UIA-X) allows Teledyne LeCroy’s protocol analyzer Summit M616 and oscilloscope WaveMaster® 8000HD or LabMaster10 Zi-A to cross-probe the same signal without affecting link operation. supply. The PCIe 6.0 link tester (see image below) made up of these devices will help you quickly identify live link issues and bring new products to market faster.
Teledyne LeCroy unveiled its CrossSync PHY technology for PCIe 6.0 for the world first time at the DesignCon exhibition held in Santa Clara, California, USA from January 31 to February 1, 2024.
Background to PCIe 6.0 support
PCIe 6.0 is the first PCI Express technology to use multilevel signaling (PAM4), resulting in data transfer speeds of 64 GT/s, twice that of PCIe 5.0. New PAM4 signals and faster data transfer rates create new test complexity and interoperability issues for developers, especially those designing first-generation PCIe 6.0 systems and devices. Device and interoperability issues often occur in the electrical domain, the protocol domain, or the interaction of the two.
Features of CrossSync PHY
- Provides engineers with complete information from the physical layer to the application layer when testing interfaces
- Link the oscilloscope and protocol analyzer to view, navigate, and analyze temporally correlated oscilloscope and protocol analyzer traces during a single system test
- Seamless integration of oscilloscope and protocol analyzer functionality simplifies PCIe 6.0 link testing This feature allows you to quickly identify issues on the live link, significantly reducing time to market for new devices
PCIe 6.0 decoding options
The PCIe6.0 decode option announced at the same time is the first in the industry to decode PCI Express 6.0 PAM4 signals on an oscilloscope, enhancing debugging capabilities. This software works with SDA Expert, an improved serial data analysis software, to prevent decoding errors by decoding with improved quality signals, including equalizer simulation.
new interposer
The new interposer has the following probing points:
1) Reference clock
2) Sideband signals
3) Power rail voltage and current monitoring
4) Data signals for protocol analyzer
