PCIe® 6.0 Testing for a New Generation

PCI Express® (PCIe) 6.0 added complexity to high-speed interconnect designs with the doubling of data rates and other enhanced performance specifications. Engineers need to select the proper signal integrity test solutions to verify that their products are compliant with the PCIe 6.0 standards.

This paper outlines the enhanced PCIe 6.0 technologies, such as PAM4, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Link Equalization. It also provides guidelines on selecting the proper test system to verify PCIe 6.0 designs.
