AMD is accelerating the development and validation of server CPUs by adopting advanced PCI Express 6.0 compliance testing. Moving to 64 GT/s speeds with PAM4 signaling presents significant engineering hurdles, particularly regarding signal integrity and link reliability. Keysight software proves essential in this transition by automating complex transmitter and receiver compliance tests. These tools provide precise calibration of stressed signals and advanced analysis of jitter and noise, ensuring devices adhere to rigorous PCI-SIG standards. By integrating Keysight’s automated validation suites, the team can rapidly identify protocol errors and optimize performance, ultimately shortening time-to-market for high-speed, interoperable server infrastructure.
