Interpos

sers, Probes and Adapters

for Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express® Systems
The Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express Pro oduct Line includes a wide variety of probe systems, designed
to reliably capture serial data traffic while
w minimizing perturbations in the serial data stream. Probe
A Wide systems include (a) interposers, desig gned to capture data traffic crossing a card-connector
V i t off
Variety interface, (b) MidBus probes, designe ed to capture traffic flowing between components on the
same PCB through a special pad designed into the PCB surface, and (c) Multi-lead probes, which
Bus Probing can be attached directly to exposed traces on the PCB surface. Teledyne LeCroy’s Edge™
Options Analyzers incorporated an integrated interposer design and are not covered in this document.
Interposers are placed between the PCI P Express expansion card and the PCI Express card slot on
the motherboard. The interposer card d plugs directly into the card slot, the expansion card plugs
directly into the interposer, and a “tap
p” is provided for connection to the analyzer in order to
capture traffic flowing through the coonnection. Specialty interposer probes are provided for
connectors such as ExpressCard, Exp pressModule, AMC and XMC Mezzanine Cards, VPX and HP
Blade Server systems. Interposers may m be either passive or active: passive interposers simply
pass through the PCI Express signalss, while active interposers regenerate the signals to ensure
reliable communication between the devices with the interposer in place.
MidBus (both full- and half-size) and Multi-lead
M probes connect directly to the PCB board through
special “header” connections designe ed into the PCB (in the case of MidBus probes), or through
MidBus
multiple leads which are connected to o PCI Express surface traces on the PCB.
Probe
obe In all cases,
cases Teledyne LeCroy probing g systems are designed to minimize perturbations of the
electrical characteristics of the interfaace, so that test results with the probe in place replicate as
closely as possible the system perforrmance without the probe.

probe into a PCI Express
p
system. The interposer solution, illustrated on the left side,
introduces a card that is plugged into a standard PCI
Express slot (or specialty slot), and then the PCI Express
card under test is plugged into this interposer.
Probe Pod The MidBus probe solutions are designed for
PCI Express bus systems which are
integrated into the design of a PCB, and allow
Customer the probe to tap into the signals through
direct attachment to the PCB bus system.
PCIe Card The two basic methods used are a multi-lead
cable, which is connected to pins soldered to
the traces, or header connections
which are designed into the
PCB to provide access
