Teledyne LeCroy Unveils the Cutting-Edge Summit M64

Teledyne LeCroy, a leader in protocol testing and measurement solutions, has announced its latest product—the Summit M64. This innovative protocol analyzer and exerciser is designed for use with PCI Express (PCIe) 6.x, NVMe, and Compute Express Link (CXL) 3.x, addressing the advanced needs of modern electronic design.

Enhanced Capabilities of Summit M64

The Summit M64 stands out with its ability to capture and generate high-speed traffic at rates of up to 64 GT/s, thanks to its unique architecture which integrates a flexible host emulator adapter into its system. This eliminates the traditional requirement of separate test platforms, providing engineers with a seamless testing experience.

Key Features:

• - Combined Protocol Functionality: The device functions as both a protocol analyzer and exerciser, capable of generating high-performance traffic with link widths up to four lanes. It includes standardized compliance testing suites to ensure reliability and functionality.
• - Versatile Operations: The analyzer supports a wide range of interposer types for various PCIe form factors, including Card Electromechanical (CEM), M.2, and the Enterprise Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF).
• - Advanced Software Control: Users can control the Summit M64 using sophisticated software that facilitates the acquisition, recording, and decoding of high-speed PCIe I/O streams. This software includes features such as the CATC Trace™ hierarchical display, real-time statistics, and comprehensive error reporting.
• - Realistic Traffic Generation: The protocol exerciser not only simulates realistic traffic scenarios but can also inject programmable errors into the device under test, enabling engineers to assess device robustness under various conditions.

Industry Impact and Future Directions

Joe Mendolia, Vice President of Marketing for Teledyne LeCroy's Protocol Solutions Group, claims that this launch reinforces Teledyne’s leadership within the testing field. By introducing the Summit M64, the company aims to provide critical analysis tools that support PCIe storage, high-performance computing (HPC), and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

As engineers move towards PCIe 6.x, they can rely on the extensive library of decodes and analysis features available in Teledyne's PCIe test tools, ensuring they have the capabilities needed to develop and troubleshoot next-generation devices efficiently.
