The Teledyne LeCroy Summit T28 is Teledyne LeCroy’s high performance PCI Express
analyzer for customers in server, workstation, desktop, graphics, storage and network
card markets.

With advanced features such as data rates from 2.5 to 5.0 GBps, lane widths from x1 to
x8, and 4 GB of memory, the Summit T28 provides unmatched capability and flexibility for
developers and users of advanced PCI Express products.
As with other Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express analyzers, the Summit T28 leverages the
intuitive and powerful CATC Trace analysis software system, embedding a deep
understanding of the PCI Express protocol hierarchy and intricacies. The colorful, intuitive
and easy‐to‐use graphical display allows you to quickly capture and validate PCI Express
product designs.
In addition to a full suite of advanced hardware and software features, the Summit T28
has user‐convenience and analysis features, such as support for automatic
“lane swizzling,” which allows a board developer to lay out a mid‐bus probe pad with
lanes in non‐standard order, simplifying the design of the board. Internally, the
Summit T28 maps the lanes back into their correct order and accurately displays the
embedded bus traffic. An optional BitTracer™ mode allows bytes to be recorded as they
come across the link, allowing debugging of PHY layer problems and combining the
features of a logic analyzer format with a protocol analyzer format.
