Common Questions
Choose GX when its supported transceiver and PCIe configuration meets the endpoint requirements. Verify lane count, rate and IP support.
Use its datasheet and selected speed grade, then verify the intended protocol configuration and channel environment.
Check reference clock, line rate, reset sequencing, polarity and input signal quality before investigating downstream protocol logic.
Raw testing checks the physical link. Protocol verification additionally checks framing, training and correct traffic behavior.
Transceivers and custom logic can combine transport with buffering and processing. Confirm supported broadcast protocol and rate configurations.
