3.7 Interposers and Probes
The Summit T3‐16 works with Interposers and Probes. Some of them are listed below.
 Gen2 MidBus Probe: The Gen2 MidBus Probe is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data rates of
2.5 GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2).
Note: For x16 links, two MidBus probes are required.
 Gen2 Multi‐lead Probe: The Gen2 Multi‐lead Probe is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐16 Protocol Analyzer. The probe consists of 1 to 4 probe pods, which
are connected to the analyzer using either iPass Y‐Cables (for x1 and x4) or
straight x4‐to‐x8 iPass cables (for x8 and x16). Each probe pod supports up to 8
Flex Tips, with each Flex Tip connected via two coax cables.
 Gen2 Passive Slot Interposer: The Gen2 Passive Slot Interposer is designed for
use with the Summit T3‐16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at
data rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2). For lane widths up to x8, one
iPass Y‐cable is required. For x16 applications, two iPass Y‐cables are required.
 Gen2 Active Slot Interposer: The Gen2 Active Slot Interposer is designed for use
with the Summit T3‐16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data
rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2). For lane widths up to x8, one iPass Y‐
cable is required. For x16 applications, two iPass Y‐cables are required.
 Gen3 Slot Interposer: The Gen3 Slot Interposer is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data rates of
2.5 GT/s (Gen1), 5.0 GT/s (Gen2), and 8.0 GT/s (Gen3). For lane widths up to x8,
one iPass Y‐cable is required. For x16 applications, two iPass Y‐cables are
required.
 Gen3 MidBus Probe: The Gen3 MidBus Probe is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data rates of
2.5 GT/s (Gen1), 5.0 GT/s (Gen2), and 8.0 GT/s (Gen3).
Note: For x16 links, two MidBus probes are required.
