Gen4 PCIe HS Card Module

Product Details

Hot-swap, lane configuration, fault injection, signal driving and power injection automation for PCIe Gen4 slots.

Fitting into a standard x16 PCIe slot, this PCIe module allows advanced, repeatable testing of PCIe devices. Controlled from the TestMonkey GUI or any standard scripting language, the module is simple to integrate into your test plan. With full control over every active PCIe pin, you can perform:

Full hot-swap control of an attached PCIe card
Individual control of all lanes, side-band, power and present pins
Glitching of any signals
Active driving of CLKREQ, PERST and WAKE signals
Power margining and measurement via an additional Quarch power module
Optional external triggering
Optional inrush current limit.

This module comes with a 40cm interface cable and requires a separately-purchased controller.

Features

Independent control of every signal including each side of differential pairs
Programmable control over connection timing and pin bounce
Allows injection of power from an external source
Provides active driving of CLKREQ, PERST and WAKE signals.

Technical

Supports PCIe 1.0a, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0
Supports x1 to x16 device cards
Vertically displaces device by 40.4mm
Requires Quarch array controller or interface kit.

Versions

QTL2128

This is the basic module.

QTL2087

This version includes external triggering IN/OUT via SMA cables to allow connection to an external analyser or similar.

QTL2135

This is the QTL2128 with added inrush current limit. This helps hot-swap of high power SSDs into consumer hosts by reducing inrush as capacitors charge

QTL2515

This is the QTL2087 with added inrush current limit. This helps hot-swap of high power SSDs into consumer hosts by reducing inrush as capacitors charge
