Gen5 PCIe x16 PAM Fixture w/AUX Power (GPU / AI analysis)
Part Number: QTL2983
Product Details
GPU / AI analysis is critical as devices keep increasing in power consumption, and auxiliary power is required for many modern devices.
High power consumption entails high operating costs, high heat output, and the requirement for large power supplies.
Understanding and optimising power consumption can make a huge difference in lifetime operating costs. The latest generation of GPUs, AI accelerators, FPGA accelerators, and more can benefit from high-quality power analysis testing, and this device makes it simple.
- Plug and play setup, no probes or current clamps needed
- Accurate, calibrated measurements
- Long term capture at high resolution
- Sideband capture: PERST, WAKE, SMBUS, REFCLK_OK
- Simple automation for overnight power Vs performance tests and much more
This fixture allows easy power performance and sideband timing analysis for x16 PCIe devices, running up to Gen5 speeds. A variety of options will be available for the different AUX power layouts on PCIe devices.
Accurate voltage and current measurements are taken on all power rails, and selected sidebands have digital capture, giving a full picture of host/device interaction.
High resolution, long-term recording and the choices of visual analysis software and simple python automation make this a very powerful product
This fixture requires a PAM controller to operate.
