The Xgig Flying-Lead Interposer captures signals between controller ICs on the same PCB where there is no connector providing an access point.
VIAVI Xgig® PCIe 4.0 Flying-Lead Interposer, the Xgig4K-PCIe4-X4-FL, provides a data signal tap to the link between host and endpoint devices when a physical connector port is not available. Each Interposer provides solder-down probe tips for attaching to the device under test (DUT). Using up to four Flying Lead Interposers, the analyzer will support up to x16 lane width.
The Flying-Lead probe is supplied with high-quality, low-loss probe cables, in matched differential pairs connecting to a small PCB with the probe tip wires. The tip wires are replaceable which allows for multiple uses of the probe cables. This active interposer taps bidirectional data on each of 1-to-4 lanes. Data is captured at 16GTps for analysis.
Applications
- Captures signals between controller ICs on the same PCB where there is no connector providing an access point
- Debug and verify new hardware ICs, new system hardware implementations, firmware, validation of system BIOS and software, and supports manufacturing test
- Works together with multiple VIAVI Xgig PCIe Analyzer platforms
Benefits
- Faster analysis and problem isolation
- Quicker time to market and earlier revenue
- Lower engineering costs
- Provides consistent, repeatable capture of link training, equalization and other in-band and sideband data
