PCI Express
PCI Express (PCIe) is a highly successful SerDes interface that is used in computing devices spanning a wide range of applications. Currently in its fourth generation with on-going roadmap development for a fifth generation, the PCIe interface is undergoing major technical advancements that require state-of-the-art development and validation tools. For example, Gen4 PCIe devices operate at 16 Gbps per lane and are expected to deliver very low bit error rate (BER) levels even over constrained and lossy transmission channels (e.g. printed circuit boards).
