COMING MID 2025

This enclosure-based tester from Quarch combines all the major elements you need to test an SSD:

• Full control of data lanes, power and sidebands (As with our breakers)
• Power and digital sideband capture (As with our PAM range)
• Power injection port for voltage margining (with a PPM)
• Controllable cooling

Putting this all into a single tester allows us to combine all the features while minimising the signal path. There is no re-driving or re-timing in the PCIe signal path, so the SSD can be tested as if it were directly connected to the host.

The enclosure is designed to connect to a Serial Cables host card or another MCIO-based controller.

A huge range of tests can be run (and easily automated):

• Hot-plug timing sequences, including pin-bounce
• Sideband failure
• Lane width restriction
• Data and sideband glitch
• Power loss, brownout and crowbar
• Power Vs Performance capture
• Sideband capture and debugging
