Page 12: U4305A/U4305B Exerciser Card - Introduction
The U4305A/U4305B Exerciser card provides the functions of an LTSSM as well as an Exerciser to help you perform thorough PCIe link testing and validation testing for the DUT. As an LTSSM Tester, the Exerciser card helps you verify the DUT’s LTSSM state transitions and timeout implementations.
Page 13: Features
The U4305B model of Exerciser supports L1.1 and L1.2 L1 substates in both the ASPM and NOTE PCI-PM L1 Link states. This feature is not supported by the U4305A model. The U4305B model uses a per-Link signal called Reference Clock Request CLKREQ# (Pin B12 of PCIe connector) for L1 substates management.
