3.7 Interposers and Probes
The Summit T3‐8 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 T3‐8 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x8 at data rates of
2.5 GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2).
 Gen2 Multi‐lead Probe: The Gen2 Multi‐lead Probe is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐8 Protocol Analyzer. The probe consists of 1 to 2 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). Each probe pod supports up to 8 Flex Tips,
with each Flex Tip connected via two coax cables.
 Gen2 Active Slot Interposer: The Gen2 Active Slot Interposer is designed for use
with the Summit T3‐8 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x8 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.
 Gen3 Slot Interposer: The Gen3 Slot Interposer is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐8 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x8 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.
 Gen3 MidBus Probe: The Gen3 MidBus Probe is designed for use with the
Summit T3‐8 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x8 at data rates of
2.5 GT/s (Gen1), 5.0 GT/s (Gen2), and 8.0 GT/s (Gen3).
