Showcase Demos

1.6T 212G PHY Rx

Featuring Keysight’s solution to test and validate next-generation SerDes designs running at 212 Gbps per lane is a key technology for high-performance computing to fully unleash the potential of AI. The demo will focus on receiver testing.

1.6T 212G PHY Tx

Featuring Keysight’s solution to test and validate next-generation serializer / deserializer (SerDes) designs running at 212 Gbps per lane is a key technology for high-performance computing to fully unleash the potential of AI. The demo will focus on transmitter testing.

DDR5 simulation and test

Next-generation memory designs need lower noise and reduced loading to report design performance accurately. Memory designs that require testing both Tx and Rx can now push the limits of memory test solutions with higher bandwidth probing and more efficient design to test workflow.

Enable PCIe® 7.0 Technology

Featuring the Keysight PCI Express® 7.0 transmitter and receiver test solutions and test automation software to enable early pathfinding and accelerated delivery of your Gen 7 silicon to the market.

Signal Integrity PLTS

This demo showcases the importance of signal integrity in high-speed digital designs using a Keysight vector network analyzer and time domain reflectometer for calibration, measurement, and post-measurement processing.

USB4 V2.0 PHY IP Operating at 80Gbps

This workstation presents Keysight's test solution for USB4 transmitter, receiver, and return loss. It also showcases Keysight test automation software featuring measurement acceleration technology to provide the fastest results in the market.

EDA Chiplet PHY Designer

Showcasing the new Keysight chiplet physical layer (PHY) designer, which enables you to model, simulate, and analyze the high-speed channel between two D2D PHY interfaces used for interconnecting two chiplets.

PCIe 6.0® and CXL 2.0 Protocol

Featuring the new Keysight P5570A PCIe® 6.0 analyzer and Keysight P5573A PCIe® 6.0 exerciser that debugs PCIe 6.0 protocol traffic on a real Gen 6 link using advanced triggers and filters while emulating both root complex and endpoint scenarios.
