Testing analyzer Summit™ M616

for electronicsfor networkstrace

Overview
The Summit M616 is Teledyne LeCroy's latest-generation protocol analyzer and exerciser for high-speed PCI Express, NVMe and CXL I/O applications. It provides advanced capture, decode and exerciser capabilities for development, validation and debug of servers, workstations, storage and networking devices, and is designed to be PCIe 7.0 ready.

Key Capabilities

• Protocol support: PCIe 6.0, NVMe and CXL
• Full bidirectional capture on x1 through x16 links
• Data rates supported: 2.5 GT/s up to 64.0 GT/s (Gen6); architecture designed for future 128 GT/s Gen7 technologies
• Up to 64 GB of trace memory for long-duration captures
• Combined analyzer and exerciser functionality including error injection and protocol exercising modes

Powerful Analysis Views
The user application offers configurable displays to match development workflows, including hierarchical protocol views, traffic summaries, detailed error reports, timing calculators and bus utilization graphs. Decodes include NVMe, AHCI/ATA, SCSI Express (PQI/SOP), TCG, PTM, virtualization decodes (SR-IOV, MR-IOV) and Address Translation Services (ATS), enabling in-depth host-to-device analysis.

Connectivity
The Summit M616 includes a standard Ethernet LAN port for remote operation and collaborative use, and supports USB connectivity for local control and data transfer.

Test Platforms, Interposers and Accessories
Supported by a broad ecosystem of interposers, adapters, host and device emulator platforms and probes tailored to multiple form factors (CEM, EDSFF/OCP, M.2, U.2/U.3, MCIO/CopprLink, CEM x4/x8/x16 and cable interposers). These accessories enable capture at PCIe Gen6 rates and facilitate device-level analysis for SSDs, NICs and other PCIe endpoints.
