PCIe 2.0 Design Tester Provides Cross-Bus Analysis
The TLA7S16 and TLA7S08 Serial Analyzers test and validate PCI Express (PCIe) 1.0 and 2.0 designs and provide cross-bus analysis. TLA7S08 and TLA7S16 acquire x1, x4 links, or x8 links, respectively. The new analyzers plug into the TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers, adding the capability to debug and correlate general-purpose signals and other system interconnects including memory and computer processors.
The serial analyzers are complemented by a series of serial acquisition probes. The selection includes the P6708 half-width and P6716 full-width mid-bus probes and the P6708 footprint that minimizes board real estate.
A slot interposer is an alternative probing method for devices that use the PCIe slot, such as graphics cards or host channel adapter cards. Pre-release slot interposers are available in x1, x4, x8, and x16 link widths.
