| e-Guide to High Speed Interface Standards PCI Express | DDR4 | USB | SAS/SATA
Introduction | High Speed Interface Standards Next generation interface standards are pushing the limits of today’s compliance and debug tools. Electrical validation of PCIe 4.0 16 Gb/s, SAS 12 Gb/s, SuperSpeed USB 10Gb/s, and DDR4 3200 MT/s and other high-speed bus technologies require even more complex test considerations than before.
PCI Express | High Speed Interface Standards PCI Express is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. PCIe has a variety of improvements over the older standards, including higher maximum system bus throughput, lower pin count and smaller physical footprint.
DDR4 | High Speed Interface Standards DDR4 is the next generation memory standard targeted for enterprise computing. The standard enables higher capacity DIMM’s (128 GB), doubles the data rate (3200 MT/s) and operates at lower voltage (1.2V) compared to the previous generation. JEDEC.
USB | High Speed Interface Standards Quickly perform USB3 transmitter eye, jitter, and timing measurements using Tektronix’ automated USB3 analysis software. With the continued trend towards more bandwidth driven by larger and faster storage solutions, higher resolution video, and broader use of USB as an external expansion/ docking solution, USB 3.1 extends the performance range of USB up to 1GB/s by doubling the SuperSpeed USB clock rate to 10Gbps and enhancing data encoding efficiency.
SATA/SAS Storage | High Speed Interface Standards Simplify complex physical layer measurements with the TekExpress for SATA/SAS transmitter test software. Next-generation storage technologies such as 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA enable a new performance class of storage hierarchy that unlocks the performance of servers and solid-state drives. t10.org scsita.org sata-io.
