Introduction
Teledyne LeCroy's PCI Express PXP-100B Test
Platform 16x2.5GT/s / 16x5.0GT/s provides a convenient,
powerful and flexible test platform for PCI Express devices
at data rates up to 5.0 GT/s and lane widths up to x16.
The Test Platform allows the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser to act
as a host system, enabling extensive protocol-level testing
of PCIe® devices.
For use as a host emulator, the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser is
plugged into any slot and connected to an external power
source. The DUT is plugged into the remaining available
slot, the PXP-100B provides the necessary power up to
75W per slot.
In addition to using the Test Platform with the Teledyne
LeCroy Summit Z3-16, the user can connect two of their
own devices and use the Test Platform as a PCIe
backplane by adding an interposer or using the built in
midbus footprint and using a midbus probe will allow an
analyzer to capture protocol traffic between the devices. PXP-100B PCI Express Test Platform
