The VIAVI Solutions 4-lane, U.2B-Server Interposer for PCIe 4.0 uses high-speed linear signal redrivers to restore signal quality of the PCIe data lanes across the Interposer between host system and SSD devices-under-test. This Interposer enables debug and verification of new NVMe controller ICs, new system implementations, firmware, validation of system BIOS and software, and for manufacturing test quality assurance.
Highlights
- Operates up to and including 16GTps, PCIe 4.0 data rates
- Downward compatible with PCIe 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 data rates of 2.5, 5.0 and 8.0GTps
- Supports 1 link of 4 lanes, or dual-port operation of 2 links of 2 lanes each
- Front-end module plugs into system-under-test
- U.2 NVMe SSD DUT (not supplied) plugs into the Back-end module
- Adjustable tray clamps and quick-release latch allow for snug fit and hot swap testing
- Data path uses high-speed linear redrivers to ensure good signal capture with minimal tuning
- Supplied with high-quality, custom SFF-8764 cables for Analyzer system attachment
- Supports side-band signal triggering and capture
- Supplied power brick makes Interposer power independent of host system
- LEDs give quick indicators of power and status
- Works with VIAVI Xgig 4K4 and 4K16 PCIe 4.0 Analyzer/Jammer chassis
- Provides consistent, repeatable capture of link training, negotiation and other data
