PCIe CBB Controller Z2025A
The DUT must be reset and transitioned to the Initial state before
starting Link Training.
The PCIe CBB Controller Z2025A fully automates control of Rx LEQ and
Tx LEQ using the Power Reset and Power Cycle control pins
implemented by PCIe CBB 4.0 (Compliance Base Board 4.0).
Matrix Scan Function
To secure high-quality communications with the Link partner, the best
combination of the Tx-side EQ and Rx-side EQ must be selected.
The Matrix scan function scans for the best Tx EQ setting at the receiver
to find the best setting automatically at the receiver.
Link Training Function (MX183000A-PL021/PL025)
The PCI Express receiver test requires establishment of the Link status
using LTSSM before performing the DUT BER test.
Installing the PCIe Link Training option in the MP1900A supports
verification of the Link status required for measurement. This option has an
LTSSM Analysis function for troubleshooting problems the Link status
cannot be configured.
