Gen6 EDSFF x4 Power Injection Fixture

The Gen6 EDSFF x4 Power Injection Fixture allows a power injection and power analysis for EDSFF devices up to Gen6 speeds. This simple interposer sits behind a drive and allows it to be slotted into an enclosure as normal (though with a slight offset of the drive). The ultra-thin flex cable routes out of the enclosure and can be connected to one of our range of Programmable Power Modules. You can now perform power margining and measurement of the drive while using it in its normal operating environment.

This unit is intended for use in testing EDSFF systems by replacing the host power to the device with power “injected” by a Quarch Programmable Power Module – allowing programmable voltages and accurate current measurement. The Gen6 EDSFF interface is an x4 edge connector to the host and an x4 straddle mount connector on the opposite edge for the device. An PPM HD connector is used to inject power and interface with PPM. Power Injection Sync feature ensures that the PPM provides power to the device under test in sync with the host power. This allows the device to power up in exactly the same way it would normally.

FETs switch the power rails when the host power is detected. Sync can be disabled via jumper on a per-rail basis to take full control.

Triggering Feature

Generates a 3v3 trigger-out signal at a probe point when host power is detected. 3v3 and 12v trigger points are provided. This allows connection to external test equipment or a scope.

Probe Feature

2 probe points are provided for SMCLK and SMDAT for easy access.
