Summit T516 Analyzer

Key Facts

The Summit T516 PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 and Compute Express Link (CXL) Protocol Analyzer, the first protocol analyzer to capture x16 link width at 32GT/s for capturing, recording, and analysis of high performance devices and systems. Many PCIe 5.0 product designs are already in progress using the PCIe 5.0 specification and CXL Specifications. Companies are currently working with the Teledyne LeCroy Summit Z516 protocol exerciser for PCIe 5.0 and CXL at the deployment of PCIe 5.0 for host system emulation with their testing needs. This combination of a protocol analyzer and exerciser make Teledyne LeCroy the only supplier of protocol test and development tools for PCIe Gen 5 and CXL. High speed interposers that provide protocol analyzer connectivity to CEM or other form factor sockets on system boards will still continue to be the principle way to capture PCIe and CXL traffic into the protocol analyzer.

PCIe 5.0 technology achieves twice the effective data throughput rate of the PCIe 4.0 standard through a combination of increased data bit rate (16 GT/s moving to 32 GT/s), PCIe 5.0 uses similar encoding as PCIe 4.0 that have proven reliable for data transmission.

With advanced features such as support for PCI Express Spec 5.0, data rates of 2.5, 5, 8, 16 and 32GT/s, lane widths from x1 to x16, and a full 256 GB of trace memory, the Summit T516 Protocol Analyzer provides unmatched capability and flexibility for developers and users of advanced PCI Express products. The Summit T516 is by far the most advanced and sophisticated PCI Express Analyzer available in the market today.
