Characteristics - FS4405 PCI Express Protocol Preprocessor
For use with Tektronix Logic Analyzers

• 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).
