Teledyne Unveils Innovative Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser for Latest PCI Express®, NVMe and CXL® Test

Summit M64 Delivers Advanced PCI Express 6.x, CXL 3.x, and NVMe Capabilities in a Unique Design

MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teledyne LeCroy, the worldwide leader in protocol test and measurement solutions, introduces the Summit M64, a PCI Express (PCIe®) protocol analyzer/exerciser to their product lineup. This cutting-edge system captures and generates PCIe 6.x, CXL 3.x, and NVMe 2.x traffic at speeds up to 64 GT/s with x4 link widths. The Summit M64 features a groundbreaking design that integrates a flexible host emulator adapter directly into the platform, eliminating the need for a separate test platform. Teledyne LeCroy will demonstrate its Summit M64 at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference on February 17 -18, 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan.

The Summit M64 addresses the complexity of modern PCIe, CXL, and NVMe design and testing with a comprehensive range of capabilities:

• Combined Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser: Operates with the integrated host emulator adapter or with direct connect device emulator card.
  
  
• Full Exerciser functionality: Generates high performance 64 GT/s traffic for devices with link widths up to four lanes and includes standardized compliance test suites.
  
  
• Versatile Analyzer Operation: Supports a range of Interposers for PCIe form factors, including Card Electromechanical (CEM), M.2, and Enterprise Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF)/Open Compute Project Network Interface Card (OCP NIC).
  
  
• Advanced Software Application: Controls the protocol analyzer to acquire, record, decode, analyze, and display complex high-speed PCI Express I/O streams, and features Teledyne LeCroy's industry standard analyzer CATC Trace™ hierarchical display, real-time statistics, protocol traffic summaries, detailed error reports, powerful scripting, and user-defined test reports.
  
  
• Realistic Traffic Generation: The same software application controls the protocol exerciser to provide realistic traffic, including programmable error injection, to devices under test and can also emulate complex host- or device-side traffic.

"With this introduction of the Summit M64, Teledyne LeCroy reinforced its industry leadership by providing a powerful platform to develop and troubleshoot the next generation of high performance PCIe devices" said Joe Mendolia, Vice President Marketing, Protocol Solutions Group, Teledyne LeCroy. "We are working closely with the computer industry to provide the analysis features companies need for PCIe storage, HPC and AI technology development. We are confident that engineers transitioning to PCIe 6.x will appreciate the rich library of decodes and analysis capabilities available on all of Teledyne LeCroy's PCIe test tools."
