Flexible Solutions for
Evolving Industry Standards
Emerging technologies such as 5G, artificial
intelligence, virtual reality, the Internet of Things, and
autonomous vehicles generate an enormous amount
of data in the network, creating new computing and
performance demands in the data center.

Each new generation of high-speed computing

standards introduces new features and faster data
transfer rates, creating fresh test challenges for
digital designers. Because standards evolve quickly,
Keysight’s data center solutions test specific industry
standards, reducing time and ensuring compliance
and interoperability of devices.

This catalog covers the following standards:

• Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI

Express® or PCIe®)

• Double Data Rate (DDR) memory

• Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Design and Simulation Software

High-speed digital designs become significantly more complex as data rates increase. Channel topologies
become more diverse, and you need to tune more parameters for active components. Use simulation to
optimize the signal and power integrity of your designs and analyze the electromagnetic (EM) effects of
components such as high-speed integrated circuit packages and printed circuit board (PCB) interconnects.

REDUCE DESIGN AND SIMULATION TIME

Design and simulation software enables you to optimize transmitter (Tx), receiver (Rx), and channel designs
for the best performance and reliability at the desired speed grade. You can design to resolve signal integrity
issues, ensure power efficiency, and stay within tight error margins before the first prototype.

PCI EXPRESS RECEIVER TEST
Extracting digital content from the PCIe signal
is significantly more challenging as PCIe speeds
exceed 8 GT/s. At these high data transfer rates,
PCIe receivers often get a heavily degraded signal
because of the channel’s high-frequency-loss
characteristics, resulting in unacceptable bit error
ratios. To overcome this, you must design and
validate a robust receiver that can tolerate these
