Ethernet SerDes - 16Gbps and 10Gbps multi-protocol SerDes PHY

Overview

The Ethernet SerDes IP solutions address the performance, power, and area requirements of today’s mobile, consumer, and enterprise (infrastructure) markets with extensive standard support for the latest PCI Express® (PCIe®), Ethernet and USB specifications. Available for both low-power mobile applications and high-performance computing applications, the Ethernet SerDes PHY IP is pre-integrated with Cadence controllers and equipped with extensive test features for superior interoperability and the lowest risk path to SoC success.

Key Features

  • Wide range of protocols that support networking, HPC, and applications
  • Low-latency, long-reach, and low-power modes
  • Multi-Link PHY—mix protocols within the same macro
  • EyeSurf —non-destructive on-chip oscilloscope
  • Extensive set of isolation, test modes, and loop-backs including APB and JTAG
  • Supports 16-bit, 20-bit, and 32-bit PIPE and non-PIPE interfaces
  • Selectable serial pin polarity reversal for both transmit and receive paths

Benefits

  • Low Power: Low-active and low-leakage optimized design
  • High Flexibility: Flexible lane configuration with multi-protocol multi-link support
  • Comprehensive Testability: Extensive testability support for BIST, scan, loopbacks, SoC isolation, and on-chip eye plotter
