The IP for 10Gbps Multi-Protocol PHY IP is a lower active and low leakage power design crafted for mobile, IoT, consumer, and automotive designs. The PHY IP is designed for multi-protocols running on a single PHY macro and is compliant with USB 3.1, PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.1, DisplayPort TX v1.4, Embedded DisplayPort TX v1.4b, SATA 3, 10G-KR and QSGMII/SGMII specifications. The PCS complies with the PIPE 4.x interfaces and supports dynamic equalization features of different protocols.
