Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a new flying lead solder-down probe for PCI Express 3.0 protocol analysis. The new U4324A probe, for use with Agilent’s U4301A protocol analyzer module, is a cost-effective solder-down probing solution.
Agilent’s U4324A flying lead probe can be used for bidirectional lane widths as narrow as x2, making it the most cost-effective solution for capturing 8 GT/s traces in the industry. It was designed with the needs of silicon, system and embedded PC connector testing in mind.
Agilent’s U4301A PCI Express 3.0 protocol analyzer can accept up to four flying lead probes, offering support for up to 16 channels. The module’s software enables users to remap any available wire on the probe. It also supports bidirectional capability, upstream or downstream, for every channel.
