Accurate, Repeatable PCIe Measurements
For nearly two decades, PCI Express® technology has been the widely adopted standard for high-speed serial interface connections. The latest PCIe® specifications address data-intensive markets such as artificial intelligence/machine learning and high-performance computing.
Our PCIe automated test solutions dramatically reduce test complexity by handling setup and calibration.Combined with low noise measurement hardware, these solutions enable fast, accurate, and repeatable signal integrity measurements. As an active voting member of the PCI-SIG® workgroups, we have expertise needed for transmitter, receiver, reference clock, and phase-locked loop (PLL) validation.

Comprehensive Automated Testing Solutions for PCIe
Industry-leading PCIe 6.0 Base and CEM Transmitter and Receiver Test Solutions
PCIe® 6.0 is a versatile, high-speed serial interface standard used to connect various components within modern compute systems. It utilizes PAM4 signaling and forward error correction (FEC) to achieve a groundbreaking 64.0 GT/s data transfer rate, enabling faster processing and smoother performance for demanding applications.
Tektronix's intuitive tools provide out-of-the-box support for measurements like signal-to-noise distortion ratio (SNDR) and uncorrelated jitter as well as receiver stressed eye TP3/TP2 calibration and Instrument noise compensation mandated by the latest specifications.
As with previous generations, PCIe 6.0 validation & compliance testing is essential to ensure adherence to the standards set by the PCI-SIG for both BASE and CEM. Tektronix's PCIe 6.0 transmitter (Tx) test solution enables engineers to address the latest design and validation problems. For the PCIe 6.0 receiver (Rx) test solution, Tektronix and Anritsu have collaborated to deliver a superior Rx testing solution by pairing Tektronix’s DPO70000SX real time oscilloscope with Anritsu’s MP1900A Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), both controlled by test automation and analysis tools developed and supported by Tektronix.

PCIe Transmitter Test Solutions
Our PCIe transmitter test solutions maintain backward compatibility by offering PCIe transmitter validation and compliance solutions from 2.5 GT/s to 64.0 GT/s (Gen 1 to Gen 6). Support spans from early silicon voltage/timing characterization to platform level transmitter and reference clock measurements. Tektronix technology leaders ensure these solutions stay relevant by incorporating all engineering change notices (ECNs) and supporting the PCI-SIG compliance workshops as an approved solution.

PCIe Receiver and PLL Test Solutions
PCIe receiver validation is notoriously difficult due to the sensitivity of calibrating the stressed eye signal across a high loss channel. Tektronix’s PCIe receiver test solutions bring confidence that your design was thoroughly tested at the required bit error rate (BER) target. Our intuitive step-by-step tools provide link training routines for the Anritsu MP1900A BERT to ensure your receiver is tested accurately. Automated testing supports stressed eye calibration, the latest transmitter and receiver link equalization compliance tests, custom BER runs, and jitter tolerance characterization. This framework also powers easy transmitter PLL bandwidth and peaking measurements.

Compute Express Link (CXL)
Datacenter architectures must increasingly respond to data movement and access demands while minimizing power, increasing efficiency, and supporting larger and more diverse applications. Building on the strength of the PCIe physical layer, CXL addresses these requirements allowing processors to access the same memory resources efficiently, to talk together, and to run on a single architecture. Physical layer solutions from Tektronix support the fastest CXL data rate (32 GT/s) and diverse form factors expected from this emerging technology.
