PCIe® 5.0 SerDes Test and Analysis
by from IEEE Spectrum on (#4ZCGG)
PCIe 5.0 operates at 32 GT/s with NRZ signaling, a huge challenge. With 36 dB of loss, CTLE and DFE at the receiver coordinate with Transmitter FFE-called "link training"-to open eye diagrams 10 mV. This paper describes the technology and guides you through the crucial SerDes tests
