Introduction
Teledyne LeCroy's PXP500 PCI Express Test Platform x16 Link Width up to 32.0 GT/s provides a convenient, powerful and
flexible test platform for PCI Express devices at data rates up to 32.0 GT/s and link widths up to x16. The PXP500 Test
Platform allows the Summit Z5 Exercisers to act as a host system, enabling extensive protocol-level testing of PCIe
devices at Gen5 speeds on the left side of the test platform. For use as a host emulator, the Summit Z5 Exerciser is
plugged into any slot and connected to an external power source. The DUT is plugged into the remaining available slot, the
PXP500 PCI Express Test Platform provides the necessary power up to 75W per slot. In addition to using the PXP500 Test
Platform with the Teledyne LeCroy Summit Z5, the user can connect two of their own devices and use the Test Platform as
a PCIe backplane by adding an interposer that will allow an analyzer to capture protocol traffic between the devices. The
right side of the PXP500 Test Platform can be used as a backplane for GenZ applications.
