Understanding PCI Express® 3.0 Physical Layer Receiver Testing
应用文章
PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology has become the interconnect of choice for high-performance applications, including server, peripherals, graphics, imaging, and storage I/O. Designers of PCIe systems and devices are faced with the demand for ever-increasing speeds that can interoperate with the exploding number of PCIe-based devices.
As a broadly adopted technology standard, PCIe benefits from several decades of innovations with universal support in all major operating systems, a robust device discovery and configuration mechanism, and comprehensive power management capabilities that very few, if any, of the other I/O technologies can match. PCIe technology has a flexible, layered protocol that enables innovations to occur at each layer of the architecture, independent of the other layers.
