On-Demand Webinar

PCI Express: Solving Compliance and Validation Challenges for Transmitters and Receivers

with guest speaker Martin Storch

PCI Express I/O bandwidth has doubled every 3 years on average thereby leading to an increased demand for this full duplex high speed bus architecture. As the industry begins deploying the 5.0 revision with a bit rate of 32 GT/s, new trends and guidelines emerge for receiver compliance and validation. 

This on-demand webinar will provide an overview of the methods for solving some of the new test and measurement receiver challenges for PCIE® 4.0 at 16.0 GT/s and PCIE 5.0 at 32.0 GT/s.

The key topics covered in this presentation are as follows: 

  • Status of 5.0 specifications including Base, CEM, and the test specifications
  • Key 4.0 Specifications including BASE and CEM and related test specifications
  • Challenges and latest guidelines on 32 GT/s receiver testing from industry experts
    • Nuances of the 32 GT/s stressed eye calibration
    • Handling high loss backchannels with equalization 
    • Thoughts on Rx testing with and without spread spectrum clocking (SSC)
  • Solving validation challenges with a receiver solution from Anritsu & Tektronix
