Introduction

LeCroy web site.
Teledyne LeCroy's PCI Express Test Platform 16x2.5GT/s /
16x5.0GT/s / 16x8.0GT/s for the Summit Z3-16 Protocol
Exerciser provides a convenient, powerful and flexible test
platform for PCI Express devices at data rates up to 8 GT/s
and lane widths up to x16.
The Test Platform allows the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser to act
as a host system, enabling extensive protocol-level testing
of PCIe® devices. In addition, there is a complete Gen3
protocol analyzer interposer built into the platform complete
with iPass connectors for up to x16 lane support.
For use as a host emulator, the Summit Z3-16 Exerciser is
plugged into the lower PCIe x16 slot and connected to the
power source provided by the Test Platform. The DUT is
plugged into the upper PCIe x16 slot, and connected to the
power source provided by the Test Platform.
In addition to using the Test Platform with the Teledyne
LeCroy Summit Z3-16, the user can connect two of their
own devices and use the Test Platform as a PCIe
backplane and as an interposer to capture protocol traffic
between the systems.
Switches on the platform allow the user to select an internal
or external reference clock, SSC on or off, and power
ON/OFF for the DUT. Connectors on the platform include
two PCIe x16 slots, Reference Clock IN and OUT, dual
iPass connectors for connection to a Teledyne LeCroy
protocol analyzer such as the Summit T3-16, DC power
connectors (2-pin for the Summit Z3-16, and the choice
of 6-pin or 8-pin for the DUT), and AC power.
