Webinar: Beyond NRZ: Testing the Transition to PAM4 in PCIe Gen6

Webinar starts in

22 April 2026

45-Min Session

Q&A Included

Get a complete walkthrough of PCIe® Gen6 physical layer testing as the industry transitions from NRZ to PAM4 signaling. The session will cover the key differences between NRZ and PAM4, including the impact on eye diagrams, noise margins, equalization complexity, and the introduction of mandatory Forward Error Correction (FEC).

Teledyne LeCroy will demonstrate transmitter compliance testing and PAM4 signal characterization using their WaveMaster 8000HD oscilloscope platform, while Anritsu will cover receiver validation and stressed eye testing using the Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A BERT. You will also see how both instruments work together in a connected Tx-to-Rx calibration workflow.
