CAUI/XLAUI Chip-to-Chip Compliance Kit

Test the compliance of simulation models and topologies to the CAUI/XLAUI chip-to-chip (C2C) specification.

The 802.3ba Annex 83A specification defines physical layer compliance for a CAUI (100 Gb/s) or XLAUI (40 Gb/s) C2C interface.

This kit is designed for compliance of both host and boards. The kit includes IBIS-AMI TX and RX models for reference and compliance testing. You can insert a channel design and test for compliance as specified in the CAUI/XLAUI specification.

Open CAUI/XLAUI C2C Kit

Open the CAUI/XLAUI C2C kit in the Serial Link Designer app using the openSignalIntegrityKit function.

openSignalIntegrityKit("CAUI_XLAUI_C2C_83A");
