14 June 2023 - 1:00AM
Business Wire
- Expands PCI Express 6.0 architecture solution portfolio with
new Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser to enable advanced PCI Express
6.0 protocol and Compute Express Link validation
- Provides high-speed analysis up to 64 GT/s (PAM4) reducing the
risk, cost, and time of PCI Express 6.0 technology silicon,
endpoint, and root port prototyping and verification
- Offers cable-free protocol analysis in a streamlined form
factor that speeds testing and accelerates time-to-market
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduces the first
PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 protocol validation tools. The cable-free
Protocol Analyzer and Protocol Exerciser enable semiconductor,
computer, and peripheral makers to perform complete silicon chip,
root complex, and endpoint system verification in a real-time
development environment.

The PCIe 6.0 specification is a new high-speed serial interface
standard released by the PCI-SIG® supporting the higher data
traffic and bandwidth requirements of data centers. With the
standard enabling new designs for servers, endpoint devices,
switches, storage devices, and compute engines at speeds up to 64
gigatransfers per second (GT/s), equipment and device companies
need protocol test solutions to validate PCIe 6.0 technology
designs and ensure interoperability with other PCIe 6.0
specification compliant designs.
Keysight meets the need of design engineers with the first PCIe
6.0 Protocol Analyzer and PCIe 6.0 Protocol Exerciser. These
cable-free solutions provide testing versatility and enable faster,
more confident testing of PCIe 6.0 technology designs.
The new Keysight protocol PCIe 6.0 architecture solutions
offer:
- Analysis of the data link / transaction layer of PCIe 6.0
technology designs
- Support for all PCIe technology speeds – 2.5 GT/s, 5.0 GT/s, 8
GT/s, 16 GT/s, 32GT/s, and 64GT/s (PAM4) – and lane widths from x1
to x16
- Emulation of root complex and endpoint devices when validating
PCIe and Compute Express Link (CXL) technology designs
- Debugging support with PCIe 6.0 technology and CXL 1.1 / 2.0
protocol visualization and analysis tools
- Cable-free protocol analysis in a streamlined Card
Electromechanical (CEM) form factor
- Complete PCIe 6.0 standard test solution for the entire design
cycle
Jim Pappas, Director of Technology Initiatives Intel,
said: “PCI Express 6.0-based I/O technology is expected to
deliver a breakthrough performance in high-performance I/O
interfaces. It also enables additional innovations including
accelerator interconnects like Compute Express Link and on-chip
communications such as Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express. PCIe
6.0 capable protocol analyzer and exerciser test equipment from
companies including Keysight Technologies are critical to
accelerating the development, deployment, and dissemination of
high-performance I/O technologies on future Intel platforms and
throughout the industry.”
Al Yanes, Chairman of the PCI-SIG®, said: “The PCI-SIG is
pleased to see PCIe 6.0 technology test tools start to become
available to its members from member companies such as Keysight
Technologies. We appreciate Keysight’s continued efforts to support
PCIe technology and the time, effort and expense Keysight along
with other test vendors put into new tool development to allow our
members to support the new advances in the PCI Express
specification.”
Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data
Center Solutions at Keysight, said: “In the race to advance
artificial intelligence applications, physical layer and protocol
validation of devices including networking interface cards,
graphics processing units, and accelerators is key. With the
revolutionary PCI Express 6.0 Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser,
Keysight complements the portfolio of physical layer high-speed I/O
and Ethernet physical and protocol solutions to enable the industry
to test designs end-to-end.”
Keysight’s new PCIe 6.0 standard protocol solutions will be
exhibited at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2023 in Santa Clara
on June 13-14, 2023.
