Evaluating Connector Crosstalk Impact on System Crosstalk at 32Gbps (PCIE Gen5) (Room 209)

Crosstalk resonances emanating from connector height have always been present and now appear within the proposed operating bandwidth of PCIe Gen 5.0 (32GT/s). Such resonances are often narrow band, and can violate legacy frequency domain magnitude limits regardless if system performance is impacted. This workshop covers a spectral-weighted method, including Integrated Crosstalk Noise, that better relate crosstalk profiles of a component to degradations to channel performance. Connector performances are validated with Seasim in full PCI Express 5.0 channels.
