Characteristics

  • Data acquisition up to 2.5 Gb/s
  • Bi-directional support on a single TLA module
  • Spread spectrum clocking support
  • Packet level decode
  • Support for Ordered Sets, TLP, DLLP and Electrical Idle
  • Fast Training Sequence (without extension bit) synchronization in 10-14 FTS's
  • 8b and 10b decoding (10b mode requires external reference clock)
  • 24-byte pattern matching sufficient for the maximum PCIe header size in 8-bit decoding mode
  • Packet recognizers - 3 per link
  • Software controlled Polarity Inversion and Lane Reversal
  • Advanced filtering (store qualification)
    • Packet types, control symbols, and idles
    • Traffic class and virtual channel
    • Packet recognizers
  • Jitter specification (valid data eye) - 140 ps (.35 Unit Interval)
  • 2 Link Processors each handling a single direction link
  • 1 external reference clock supported (when preprocessor is not operating in internal mode)
  • Internal reference clock mode can be used when no SSC is present and link frequency is within 100 ppm of nominal
  • Multiple Midbus Probing Configurations Supported - See PCI Express Design Guide
  • Power Requirement - +5V DC (external supply included)
  • USB connector for probe control from a PC or the logic analyzer

The FS4405 includes the following components:

  • Main Processor Board and Enclosure
  • Reference Clock Cable Assembly (permanently attached)
  • Protocol Decode Software for a Tektronix Logic Analyzer
  • Probe Manager Software for a PC or the logic analyzer
  • External 5V Power Supply
  • USB Cable
  • Getting Started Guide
  • User's Manual

Four FS1055 TLA Adapter Cables (for connection between the FS4405 and the TLA module), must be ordered separately).
