PCI Express® Protocol Triggering and Decode For Infiniium 90000A, 90000 X-, 90000 Q- and Z-Series Oscilloscopes

PublishTime：2021-04-25

PCI Express® (peripheral component interconnect express), PCIe, is a computer expansion card standard that enables high-speed serial technology. There are two main technologies protocol speeds from 2.5 Gb/s to 5 Gb/s (gen1 and gen2 respectively). PCIe gen 2 satisfies the increased need for bandwidth of high-performance applications such as graphics, and also allows existing applications to retain bandwidth while moving to a reduced pin count. The smaller link width ultimately leads to lower system cost. To understand what is occurring on the bus typically you must convert captured 1's and 0's to protocol with either protocol analyzer or manually. Of course, manually means that it can't be done in real-time, and includes potential for human error. Using a protocol analyzer sometimes increases the price for the PCIe solution as it requires an entirely new instrument. Unfortunately traditional oscilloscope hardware triggers and software capability typically are not sufficient for specifying protocol-level conditions and decoding complicated busses.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. Infiniium PCIe protocol viewer software enables the industry's first totally integrated oscilloscope-based protocol analyzer that provides time correlated views of physical layer and transaction layer errors. You get packet-level decode for PCI Express built into a real-time oscilloscope. This software provides you with a fast, easy way to isolate signal integrity problems from logic-level coding errors on bidirectional serial data streams. This capability allows you to test, debug and characterize your designs to the logic and link layer. Extend your scope capability with Infiniium's protocol viewer application. This application makes it easy to debug and test designs that include PCIe gens 1 and 2 using your Infiniium 90000 scope.
