Keysight N5306A Protocol Analyzer for PCIe 1.0 and 2.0

I Keysight N5306A

• 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s PCIe® traffic is reliably captured
• advanced triggering capabilities reduce the time needed to detect difficult to find errors
• reliable data capture even exiting L0s, with the industry´s fastest lock time of 5 – 7 fast training sequences (typical)
• context-sensitive column analysis with easy flow views make it easy to understand the data

The N5306A is a key component of the E2960 family of PCIe test solutions. It is an I/O module that fits into the N5540A or N5541A N2X chassis. The N5306A supports x1 through x8 PCIe links. With two modules combined, it can probe a x16 PCIe link.

The N5306A can be used with a wide range of probing options, including mid-bus, slot interposer, and flying leads probes.

With the addition of a P2L gateway cable, it is possible to do cross-bus analysis of multiple technologies with a combination of a protocol analyzer and a logic analyzer.
