Keysight Technologies Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced a PCIe 7.0 Receiver Test application that extends the company's PCIe 7.0 portfolio to enable transmitter and receiver validation. The application addresses receiver performance validation at 128 GT/s for compute, AI, and data center applications.

The solution includes Keysight's M8050A BERT family, combined with the M8042A 120 GBaud pattern generator and M8043A error analyzer, designed to meet PCIe 7.0 receiver stress testing requirements. The N5991PB7A software component reduces setup effort and accelerates receiver validation by simplifying calibration and control of PCIe 7.0 receiver stress signals.

The receiver test application provides automated PCIe 7.0 workflows to reduce manual setup, specification-aligned stressed-signal generation to expose receiver weaknesses, and integration with Keysight's existing PCIe 7.0 transmitter test solution for comprehensive coverage.

Dr. Joachim Peerlings, Vice President of Network and Data Center Solutions at Keysight, stated that "PCIe 7.0 receiver validation at 128 GT/s is one of the industry's most significant signal integrity challenges."

The PCIe 7.0 receiver test will be demonstrated at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference in Santa Clara, California, on May 6-7, 2026.

The solution operates in common clock mode and aims to streamline validation workflows while supporting ASIC development. Information is based on a company press release.
