Verify and debug your PCI Express® designs more easily
Keysight Technologies, Inc. PCI Express electrical performance validation and compliance
software provides you with a fast and easy way to verify and debug your PCI Express 3.0, 2.0,
and 1.1/1.0a designs for both silicon validation (as per the PCIe® BASE specification) as well as
for add-in cards and motherboard systems (as per the PCIe CEM specification).
The PCI Express electrical test software allows you to automatically execute PCI Express
electrical transmitter tests, and it displays the results in a flexible report format. In addition
to the measurement data, the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your
device passed or failed each test.
The PCI Express electrical test software utilizes the prescribed test methods and algorithms
as required by the PCI Express Card Electromechanical (CEM) specifications for all current PCI
Express Standards. This produces results that are not only consistent with the PCI-SIG®
SigTest utility, but also provides you with a fast and easy means of executing complex two-port
motherboard tests and single port add-in card test with total automation.
In addition to transmitter testing, the PCI Express electrical test software also provides an
optional receiver test calibration test suite, which allows you to setup your N4903B JBERT
bit error ratio tester for performing PCI Express 3.0 jitter tolerance testing under the PCIe 3.0
BASE specification.
The PCI Express electrical performance validation and compliance software performs a
wide range of electrical tests as per the PCI Express PCI Express 2.0 and 1.1/1.0a. electrical
specifications for add-in cards and motherboard systems as documented in Section 4 of the
base specification and Section 4 of the card electromechanical specification.
Tests for PCI Express 3.0 (based on section 4.3.3.10 and 4.3.3.13) are also included to help you
test your products against for the next generation of this powerful I/O technology.
In addition to full swing (800 mV) testing, the software also supports testing for low-power,
half-swing devices (400 mV) as per the PCI Express Architecture Mobile Graphics Low-Power
Addendum to the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.0.
