Tektronix Delivers Industry-First PCI-Express 6.0 Test Solution

Tektronix, Inc., introduces the industry's first PCI Express 6.0 compatible Base transmitter test solution just weeks after the PCI-SIG working group released PCI Express (PCIe) 6.0 Base specifications and validation requirements. PCIe 6.0 is an important and scalable standard for data-intensive markets such as data center, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and high-performance computing. To meet ever growing performance demands, PCIe 6.0 standard transitions to PAM4 signaling and new innovative error correcting techniques. The Tektronix test solution includes PCIe 6.0 measurement-specific software, enhanced PAM4 DSP capabilities and noise compensation on the oscilloscope for increased accuracy of results. The Tektronix test solution for PCIe 6.0 standard is further enhanced by the industry-leading analysis tools for SNDR and uncorrelated jitter measurements which are both mandated requirements for the PCIe 6.0 standard.

The industry's first PCIe 6.0 standard transmitter validation solution is focused on serving high-performance and data-intensive markets and is available worldwide for use with DPO70000SX ATI Performance Oscilloscopes. "Tektronix' PCIe 6.0 standard test solution came to market quickly because of the company's deep involvement in the PCI-SIG working group, where it helped define the standard's measurement methodologies," said David Bouse, PCI Express Principal Technology Lead at Tektronix and PCI-SIG working group participant.
