PCIe® Product Testing
The importance of PCIe product testing
PCIe, developed and maintained by the PCI‑SIG, is one of the most widely used high‑speed interconnect standards in the industry.
It is essential for products such as:
- Graphics cards
- Solid‑state drives (SSDs)
- Storage and networking devices
- Servers, motherboards and accelerator cards
As PCIe data rates continue to increase — driven by rapid advances in data centers, AI, machine learning and high‑performance computing — electrical compliance support becomes increasingly critical.
PCIe testing helps manufacturers:
- Assess signal integrity at higher speeds
- Identify potential interoperability issues
- Address design challenges earlier in development to help reduce the potential for costly redesigns
- Improve areas of improvement to help enhance overall product reliability and performance
