ASA successfully completed its 2nd PMA Plugfest.

ASA successfully completed its 2nd PMA Plugfest, driving further progress toward interoperable SerDes solutions for the automotive industry.

Semiconductor companies — Aviva Links Inc., Microchip Technology Inc., and Realtek Semiconductor Corp. — joined forces with leading test equipment vendors — Keysight Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz, and Teledyne LeCroy — to validate key PMA test cases. These included jitter, droop, TX-disable, clock stability, PSD, and linearity, tested across multiple speed grades and interfaces (Coax and STP).

With successful real-device testing and methodology validation, this milestone moves us closer to the official release of PMA CTS v1.0. Huge thanks to all participating members and partners!
