The LeCroy PE092ACA-X is a Gen3 multi-lead probe pod designed for PCIe protocol analysis on Teledyne LeCroy Summit protocol analyzers. This probe system connects directly to PCB traces via high-impedance electrical probes to capture PCI Express bus traffic with minimal signal perturbation. Individual connections to transmit and receive pairs enable flexible probing across multiple serial lanes, supporting lane widths from x1 to x4 per pod through daisy-chain configuration for wider bus widths.

Electrical Characteristics
• High-impedance probe design minimizes signal loading
• SRIS clocking support (Serializer/Deserializer Independent Spread Spectrum Clocking) for PCIe 3.0
– Key Features
• Individual lane connections using extender coax cables with flextip connectors
• Scalable architecture—combine multiple pods for x8 and x16 configurations
• Daisy-chain clocking topology for multi-pod deployments
• Compatible with Reference Clock Cable (PE014UCA-X) and Daisy Chain Clock Cable (PE009UCA-X)
– Typical Applications
• PCI Express protocol debugging at gen1, gen2, and gen3 speeds
• Multi-lane bus analysis with granular per-lane visibility
• Signal integrity verification on PCIe interconnects
– Compatibility & Integration
Works with Teledyne LeCroy Summit T3-16, T3-8, and T34 protocol analyzers. Configuration requires appropriate iPass cables: PE010UCA-X for T3-8/T3-16 or PE013UCA-X for T34 depending on system deployment.
