Verification: PCIe Lane Margining - What changed from Gen4 to Gen6?

mrana

With new PCIe 6.0 Base specifications rolled out, the move from NRZ (non-return-to-zero) to PAM4 (4-Level Pulse Amplitude Modulation) is no surprise. To address the Nyquist frequency issues at 64GT/s, which doubles to 32GHz which further causes frequency dependent loss increased to 70dB, PAM4 was introduced.

Use of PAM4 signaling address the issues related to integrity, channel loss and backward compatibility but increased…
