3.5 Interposers and Probes
PETracer Summit and Summit T2-16 work with Interposers and Probes.
• Gen2 MidBus Probe: The Gen2 MidBus Probe is designed for use with the Summit
T2-16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data rates of 2.5
GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2).
• Gen2 Multi-lead Probe: The Summit Multi-lead Probe is designed for use with the
Summit T2-16 Protocol Analyzer. The probe consists of 1 to 4 probe pods, which
are connected to the analyzer using either iPass Y-Cables (for x1 and x4) or straight
x4-to-x8 iPass cables (for x8 and x16). Each probe pod supports up to 8 Flex Tips,
with each Flex Tip connected via two coax cables.
• Gen2 Passive Slot Interposer : The Gen2 Passive Slot Interposer is designed for use
with the Summit T2-16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data
rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2). A separate interposer is used for each
lane width that you would like to probe. Lane reducers should NOT be used with the
Gen2 Passive Slot Interposer. For lane widths up to x8, one iPass Y-cable is
required. For x16 applications, two iPass Y-cables are required.
• Gen2 Active Slot Interposer : The Gen2 Active Slot Interposer is designed for use
with the Summit T2-16 Analyzer and supports lane widths from x1 to x16 at data
rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1) or 5.0 GT/s (Gen2). Lane reducers/adapters may be used
with the Gen2 Active Slot Interposer. For lane widths up to x8, one iPass Y-cable is
required. For x16 applications, two iPass Y-cables are required.
The following sections describe how to set up probe systems.
