PCIe-6 Compliance Kit

R2026b

Test the compliance of simulation models and channel topologies based on the PCI Express 6.0 Base Specification (PCIe-Gen6) and the Internal Cable Specification applicable to PCI Express 5.0 and 6.0 channels.

This PCIe 6.0 signal integrity compliance kit includes Transfer nets, topologies, generic IBIS-AMI buffer models and compliance rules for a PCIe 6.0 high-speed SerDes interface. This includes PCIe 6.0 technology IBIS-AMI models for the SerDes transmitter and receiver, compliance masks and transfer nets preconfigured for TX and RX characterization, which are customizable for a target physical layer design.

This kit enables you to insert a channel design and characterize and validate its performance using the specification masks to determine figures of merit with regards to signal integrity performance. If the channel does not meet the compliance masks or BER targets, further investigation or redesign, along with simulation, may need to be performed to determine possible changes to meet compliance.

Open PCIe-6 Kit

Open the PCIe-Gen6 kit in the Serial Link Designer app using the openSignalIntegrityKit helper function.
