Xgig E1 EDSFF 8-Lane Interposer for PCI Express 5.0

The VIAVI Solutions Xgig5P-PCIe5-X8-E1 Interposer for PCI Express® 5.0 is optimized for developing, debugging and performance-tuning NVMe SSD operation in high-density storage servers. Bidirectional PCIe 5.0 protocol data on 8-lanes can be captured at 32GTps for analysis.

Benefits

• Quicker NVMe SSD or CXL EDSFF debugging for faster time-to-market
• Provides consistent, repeatable capture of link training, equalization negotiation and other data 
• Faster analysis and problem isolation
• Quicker time to market and earlier revenue
• Reduced engineering costs

Applications

• Developing, debugging and performance tuning NVMe SSD operation in high-density storage servers
• Verification of new PCIe or CXL controller ICs, new server designs, firmware tuning, and manufacturing test
• Validation of system BIOS and software

Highlights

• Operates up to 32GT/s, PCIe 5.0 data rates
• Downward compatible with PCIe data rates of 2.5, 5.0, 8.0 and 16GT/s
• Supports 1 link of 4 or 8 lanes
• EDSFF E1.S NVMe SSD DUT (not supplied) plugs directly into the Interposer
• Includes high-quality, custom cables for Analyzer connection
• Data path uses high-speed linear redrivers to ensure good signal capture with little or no tuning
• Supports Analyzer side-band signal capture and triggering with display in multiple formats
• The supplied power brick makes interposer power is independent of host system
• Works together with the VIAVI Xgig 5P8 and 5P16 PCIe 5.0 Analyzer/Exerciser/Jammer chassis
