Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. (MSI), a global leading vendor for computer hardware, has selected Anritsu’s signal integrity evaluation solution, Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A and Vector Network Analyzer MS46524B, for high-speed digital interfaces, including the PCI Express® (PCIe®) standard.
The rapid proliferation of AI and IoT technologies has driven a significant increase in data transmission volumes. As a result, high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, USB, and DisplayPort, widely used in servers, data centers, and consumer products, are required to support even greater speeds and capacities. Faced with this, MSI has risen to the challenge of adapting to next-generation interface standards in its server and motherboard development, ensuring digital signal quality and improving development efficiency.
To achieve this, MSI selected Anritsu’s MP1900A and MS46524B. Utilizing both products, MSI established a comprehensive environment for evaluating the digital signal quality in terms of the time domain (such as the bit error rate), as well as the frequency domain (such as S-parameters). This enabled MSI to verify the signal quality of its high-speed digital interfaces and devices when installed in systems, while also enhancing its development efficiency.
Anritsu will continue to strongly support customers in solving challenges and driving technological innovation in the high-speed digital market through the provision of cutting-edge measurement technologies and comprehensive testing solutions.
