Teledyne LeCroy (CEO: Woonjae Lee) unveils PCI Express® 7.0 signal generation, transmission, and measurement, accelerating the adoption of PCIe® 7.0 technology for data-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in hyperscaler and data infrastructure applications.

Teledyne LeCroy and Alphawave Semi jointly presented a correlation methodology at 128 GT/s operation using a PCIe Gen7 DSP-based IBIS-AMI model at DesignCon in Santa Clara, California on the 1st.

The technology presentation introduced Alphawave Semi's Input/Output Buffer Information Specification algorithmic modeling interface (IBIS-AMI).

This interface was essential for predicting the transmitter output performance of Alphawave Semi's 128 gigabits per second (Gbps) DSP-based Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) and was correlated with actual measurements using Teledyne LeCroy's WaveMaster® 8650HD 65 GHz, 12-bit High Definition Oscilloscope (HDO®) and QualiPHY® Compliance Test Software for PCIe 7.0.

AlphaWave Semi 128Gbps SerDes with Teledyne LeCroy's 12-bit, 6Measurements with a 5GHz oscilloscope confirmed that it meets all test specifications, including the PCI-SIG® PCIe 7.0 Electrical Base specification and compliance tests.

Following the technical session presentations, Teledyne LeCroy and Alphawave Semi invited attendees to a live demonstration at DesignCon booth 1249.

This demo demonstrates firsthand the simulation and transmitter test validation required for the anticipated PCI-SIG PCIe 7.0 Electrical Base specification and compliance test specifications.

The technical presentation session and demonstration demonstrated for the first time the correlation between modeling and actual measurements of a 128 GT/s data transmission system on a 65 GHz oscilloscope.

“This PCI Express® 7.0 signal generation, transmission, and measurement will play a critical role in supporting the development of PCIe 7.0 compliance programs,” said a Teledyne LeCroy representative.
