Keysight Technologies Demonstrates PCIe® 4.0 Test Solutions at DesignCon

February 1, 2016

What:

Keysight offers designers and engineers a broad spectrum of PCIe design and test solutions, including the latest evolution of the standard, PCI Express® 4.0.

The latest standard will support data rates of 16 GT/s. While receiver designs operating at 2.5 GT/s and 5.0 GT/s could rely solely on transmitter EQ and be implemented without receiver equalization, the increased transmission rates required by PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 through the same channel makes Rx EQ necessary and testing of receiver gain more important.

Keysight demonstrated one of its PCIe 4.0 test solutions, the M8000 J-BERT, … Read More → "Keysight Technologies Demonstrates PCIe® 4.0 Test Solutions at DesignCon"
