Configuration of PCIe5 Re-Driver Set
The G0430A PCIe5 Re-Driver Set (hereafter G0430A) is an equalizer for
32 Gbaud NRZ signal. With G0430A for channel loss compensation, the
MP1900A Signal Quality Analyzer-R can perform tests according to the
PCIe 5.0 standard.
CAUTION
When signals are input to this modules, avoid
excessive voltage beyond the rating. Otherwise, the
circuit may be damaged.
When output is used at the 50 Ω GND terminator, never
feed any current or input signals to the output.
As a countermeasure against static electricity, ground
other devices to be connected (including experimental
circuits) with ground wires before connecting the I/O
connector.
The outer conductor and core of the coaxial cable may
become charged as a capacitor. Use any metal to
discharge the outer conductor and core before use.
To protect this modules from electrostatic discharge
failure, a conductive sheet should be placed onto the
workbench, and the operator should wear an
electrostatic discharge wrist strap. Always ground the
wrist strap to the workbench antistatic mat or the frame
ground of this modules.

Installing Software and Operation
3.1 Preparation
Prepare the G0430A for operation according to the following steps.
1. Install the GUI software on the host PC or MP1900A.
Note:
The GUI Software works only on Windows 10.
If the OS on the MP1900A is Windows 7, install the GUI
Software on an external PC installed with Windows 10.
The GUI software is stored on the USB flash drive.
Folder name: \EVM Kit Zip File\EVM Setup vx.x.x
(x.x.x represents the software version)
Executable file: setup.exe
2. Verify jumpers are present in the positions shown in Figure 3.1-1
and Table 3.1-1.

3. Connect the device under the test (hereafter, DUT) outputs to the
MAEQ-39904B Ch1 inputs with the Carlisle connector cables.
4. Connect between the MAEQ-39904B Ch2 outputs and the MP1900A
ED inputs by using 2.92mm Carlisle connector cables.
5. Make sure the necessary hardware connections for the G0430A are
in place, and launch the User Control software by going to Start >
All Programs > MACOM Technology Solutions.
6. Make sure the software is active, click Connect.
The device will be recognized and displayed in the upper-right
corner of the window.
When the Bad COM Port Settings dialog box is displayed, open
Device Manager, expand Ports (COM & LPT), and check the number
displayed after USB Serial Device.
Figure 3.1-2 Port Number Indication of EVM board
Change the Port setting for software from Auto to the USB Serial
Device number (for example, COM5).
Also, check that I2C Display is set to 7-Bit.
Figure 3.1-3Connection Settings
7. On the right side of the Channel Control tab, click Reset with No
OTP Download to reset the device.
The Channel Control tab helps you control the settings for each of
the four channels individually.
The high frequency boost can be controlled by using the slide bar or
by inputting a decimal number between 1 to 127 (in Figure 3.1-4).
Channel control also allows control over the settings like, low
frequency boost, bias control, and disabling the channel (and in
Figure 3.1-4).

3.2 How to Optimize Return Path
For Receiver LEQ Test with PCIe Gen5 (32GT/s), it is important to
optimize Return Path (DUT Tx to BERT ED). The procedure is shown
below.
Requirements for using the G0430A
When testing the System, connect the G0430A between DUT Tx and ED.
Refer to Chapter 2 “Connection Procedure” for how to set up the G0430A.
Though the G0430A is not required for AIC Test, it is the same as the
method of optimizing Return Path for System / AIC test.
CAUTION
The maximum recommended input amplitude for the IC
mounted on the MAEQ-39940B EVM board is 1.0 Vp-p
(differential).
The G0430A is used with Ch1 and Ch2 of the IC on the
MAEQ-39904B EVM board connected in series. Therefore,
if the input amplitude for Ch1 exceeds 800 mVp-p
(differential), there is a risk that the input amplitude for
Ch2 in the subsequent stage could exceed 1 Vp-p
(differential).
By using an oscilloscope with a bandwidth of at least 50
GHz, make sure that the input waveform amplitude for
the MAEQ-39904B EVM board is less than or equal to 800
mVp-p (differential).

Chapter 3 Installing Software and Operation

Preparation of preset files
To optimize the Return Path, you are required to prepare preset files for
MAEQ-39904B.
1. Copy the zip file from the USB flash drive to the PC or MP1900A.
\Macom_MAEQ-39904_EQ_Preset.zip
2. Extract the zip file, and then make sure that the following 21 files
are in the directory you specify.
MAEQ-39904_EQ_P0.txt
MAEQ-39904_EQ_P1.txt
:
MAEQ-39904_EQ_P19.txt
MAEQ-39904_EQ_P20.txt
3. Click the Channel Control tab, click Load File shown in Figure 3.2-1,
and select a preset file.
