Teledyne LeCroy has launched the Summit Z74 protocol system. The product is designed to accelerate the development, validation, and debugging of PCIe 7.0 devices and systems.
According to Teledyne LeCroy, the Summit Z74 operates as a standalone protocol system and supports controlled traffic generation. It can also work with the Summit M616 protocol analyzer.
Together, the two products provide a complete PCIe 7.0 analysis and validation solution. The combination of the two platforms enhances control and visibility for engineering teams, helps identify interoperability issues early, shortens debugging time, and reduces development risk.
The launch comes as AI, ML, HPC, cloud infrastructure, and advanced storage applications continue to expand. As these applications spread, demand for faster, low-latency interconnects is also increasing.
To meet performance requirements, PCIe 7.0 has increased data transfer speed to 128.0GT/s, twice the 64.0GT/s of PCIe 6.0. PCIe 7.0 also delivers up to 512GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth in an x16 configuration.
This high-speed environment involves PAM4(Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-Level) signaling, a FLIT-based protocol, and increasingly complex system architectures. As a result, sophisticated validation tools have become necessary in high-speed environments.
The Summit Z74 features a flexible architecture optimized for PCIe 7.0 technology development and takes on the task of addressing these challenges. When used on its own, the Summit Z74 can generate controlled protocol traffic, test device behavior, and verify responses to specific conditions.
The Summit Z74 can also be used alongside the Summit M616 protocol analyzer. In this case, the Summit Z74 is positioned as part of a comprehensive debugging and validation system, providing traffic generation, deep protocol capture, decoding, analysis, and debugging capabilities.
The company said engineering teams can analyze, resolve, and validate issues within an industry-standard, customer-friendly Summit workflow. The issues cited include link training behavior, transaction-level issues, protocol errors, LTSSM state transitions, interoperability issues, and various problems in standards compliance validation processes.
Michael Rom, general manager of Teledyne LeCroy's Protocol Solutions Group, said the Summit Z74 expands Teledyne LeCroy's long-standing support for the PCIe design and test community. He said engineering teams can use it as a standalone PCIe 7.0 protocol system, and it can also be combined with the Summit M616. He added that this configuration makes it possible to establish a complete and familiar environment for traffic generation, protocol visibility, validation, and debugging.
Michael Rom said this flexibility helps preserve the value of existing test investments. He added that it also supports confident pursuit of next-generation PCIe designs.
