SI PPG/ED Link Training
The PCI Express and 10 Gbit/s USB3.2 standards require PHY layer tests
such as Jitter Tolerance tests on an established Link to assure
interconnectivity between the host and device. Additionally, it is
necessary to determine whether the cause is a physical or logical fault
at a Link fault.
The MP1900A PCI Express/USB functions have Protocol Awareness with
a Link Training function required for evaluating the PHY layer as well as
an analysis function for detecting each LTSSM state transition to help
troubleshoot faults. When more detailed debugging is required, the
training sequence generation timing can be adjusted using the
Sequence Editor function (MU195020A-050).
These all-in-one functions facilitate efficient PHY layer evaluation of
PCIe Gen1 to Gen5 and USB3.2 receivers through inspection and fault
troubleshooting.
Moreover, combination with the Jitter Tolerance Measurement function
(MX183000 A-PL001) supports consistent receiver tests of high-speed
serial interfaces.
