PCI Express 5.0 Compliance Solution

06 May 2022 – Teledyne LeCroy announced that the Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), responsible for the definition of serial expansion buses and related components required to drive fast, efficient transfers between processors and peripheral devices, has approved Teledyne LeCroy as a solution vendor for official PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 link and transaction layer compliance testing at the PCI-SIG compliance workshops.

Compliance testing allows design and test engineers to ensure product interoperability as well as adherence to the PCIe standard, enabling technology adoption among integrators. The Summit Z58 Protocol Exerciser/Analyzer which was previously approved for PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 compliance testing has now also been approved for official PCIe 5.0 compliance and certification testing, making it the only piece of test equipment currently certified for link and transaction layer testing of all three PCIe generations. Passing the PCI-SIG’s compliance tests are also a necessary step for equipment to be included in the PCI-SIG’s Integrators List.

"As a member of PCI-SIG, Teledyne LeCroy contributes to compliance testing as part of the PCI Express ecosystem enablement," said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairman. "Products such as this provide users with a tool to validate their PCIe 5.0 technology implementations and help ensure the interoperability of PCIe 5.0 solutions.”

Teledyne LeCroy protocol analyzers and exercisers have been at the forefront of PCI Express technology development since its deployment of PCI Express protocol analyzers 18 years ago, working closely with the computer, storage and IoT industry to provide the most comprehensive analysis functionality engineers need for their products. All Teledyne LeCroy protocol test solutions feature hierarchical views of recorded traffic, rich library of decodes, real-time statistics, protocol traffic summaries, detailed error reports, powerful scripting, and the ability to create user-defined test reports, which allow developers to troubleshoot intricate problems and finish their projects on time.
