M8047A PCI Express® Re-driver

Description

The M8047A PCI Express Re-driver enables testing of devices with longer back channels than the M8041A/51A or M8046A error detectors could accept by themselves. It offers a two-stage continuous- time linear equalizer and a linear output driver. Using the M8047A PCI Express Re-driver the backchannel reach can be extended by approximately 17 dB. It is designed to operate with NRZ signals up to 28 Gb/s. an operation at 32 Gb/s is possible but the achievable additional back channel reach in combination with M8046A error detectors is not specified.

Next to PCI Express, the M8047A Re-driver is suitable for CCIX, SAS and OIF CEI as well as IEEE 802.3 applications within its data rate range.

The M8047A is controlled through the M8070B graphical user interface. The operation requires the pres- ence of a M8000 Series BERT module or a M8100 Series AWG module in the system. The Re-driver ap- pears as an additional module in the M8070B SW.

Features

• Extends back channel reach up to 17 dB

• Two-stage CTLE and linear output driver

• Integrated into M8070B software

• Controlled and powered through USB

System Requirements

Software

The M8047A PCI Express Re-driver is controlled through the M8070B software. It requires at least ver- sion 7.2. The M8070B software will allow control of a M8047A PCI Express Re-driver only if an AXIe mod- ule of the M8000 BERT Series or a M8195A, M8196A or M8194A AWG AXIe module is present.

Remote Programming

The M8047A can be remote programmed the M8070B software like any other module which is controlled by the M8070B software
