The M8047A PCI Express Re-driver enables the testing of devices with long back channels. Through a two-stage continuous-time linear equalizer and a linear output driver, equalize and boost the signal to the error detector. Easily operate with non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals of up to 28 Gb/s. The M8047A complements the built-in equalization M8041A, M8051A, and M8046A error detectors.

The M8047A requires at least version 7.2 of the M8070B software and an M8000 BERT Series AXIe module or an M8195A, M8196A, or M8194A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) AXIe module.
