PCI Express solution to support Gen5 testing

Anritsu Corporation has released its new PCI Express test solution, supporting the Gen5 Base Specification Stressed Receiver Test.

The new solution uses the company's Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A Series, which provides Automation Software for Base Specification Calibration and BER Measurement Software supporting the SKP Filter. With this release, clients can simply configure a measurement environment for early-stage development of Gen5 IP and devices, assisting the faster introduction of PCI Express 5.0.

Costs are reduced as the series provides all the pattern generation, error detection, jitter generation and noise generation functions needed for PCI Express tests in a single unit. Gen1 to Gen5 transmission speeds can be supported by upgrading the equipment through software, giving customers with a high-performance PCI Express test solution at lower cost.
