Highlights

Compute Express Link (CXL) is an industry supported, high-speed interconnect standard that enables coherent memory access between a host and end-point device. CXL leverages the dependability and performance of the PCI Express® physical layer and uses a flexible processor port to auto-negotiation whether the link will communicate using the standard PCIe protocol or the supported alternate CXL transaction protocol. CXL defines three sub-protocols CXL.io, CXL.mem, and CXL.cache that are used for initialization and link-up, and to facilitate the coherent sharing of memory between computing devices.

P5562CXLA CXL 1.1 / 2.0 Protocol Analyzer Software enables comprehensive analysis and visualization capabilities for CXL.io, CXL.mem, and CXL.cache. The protocol analyzer sits between the root port and endpoint to capture and decode the transactions on the CXL link. The P5562CXLA software is used with the P5571A/72A series protocol analyzer hardware which integrates the interposer and analyzer into a unique CEM card form factor that simplifies connection to the device and offers unparalleled signal integrity.
