Viavi XGIG5P-PCIE5-X16-PF PCIe 5.0 Protocol Analyzer

Overview

The Viavi XGIG5P-PCIE5-X16-PF is a platform for simultaneous protocol analysis and jamming of PCIe 5.0 traffic at all layers of the stack. It supports link speeds to 32 GT/s and widths up to 16-lanes, with full backward compatibility with previous PCIe generations (2.5G, 5.0G, 8G, and 16GT/s). The platform delivers 256GB of memory and is compatible with other VIAVI protocol analyzers for multiprotocol environments.

Key Features

• 32 GT/s PCIe 5.0 data rate operation with backward compatibility to 2.5G, 5.0G, 8G, and 16GT/s
• Link widths to 16-lanes, including 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-lane support
• 256GB memory with 128GB upstream and 128GB downstream segmentation
• Simultaneous analysis and jamming on a single chassis
• SMB capture and trigger for NVMe-MI observability
• Decodes all PCIe and NVMe traffic at all layers including TLP, DLLP, and PHY layer
• Flexible trigger events for training sequences, ordered sets, queue pairs, and more
• Cascade captures from up to four Xgig chassis into a single trace view
• Full support of PCI Express LTSSM analysis
• Field replaceable modular fan and power supply

Applications

• ASIC debug and validation
• PCIe add-in card testing
• BIOS, driver and application tuning
• System validation and performance tuning
• Debug of interoperability and related issues
