PCIe 4/3/2 SerDes PHY - GLOBALFOUNDRIES 22nm

Overview

The 16 Gbps PCIe SerDes PHYs is a high-performance serial link subsystem. Optimized for power and area in challenging, high-loss channels typical of copper backplanes and long runs of cable, our 16G MPS PHYs are ideal for networking, telecom and data center systems.

Key Features

  • Duplex lane configurations of x2, x4, and x35
  • Transmit swing of at least 800mV differential peak-to-peak for MR & LR, 360mv for SR
  • Support for AC-coupled interfaces
  • Fine-grain power up/down capability for power optimization, and ability to turn off unused link(s)
  • BER of 10-15 for CEI11-LR/SR and BER of 10-12 for SFI, XFI, PCIe and Gbe protocols
  • A wide range of PLL multiplication supporting low reference clock frequencies
  • Tight skew control of 2UI between lanes of the PMA
  • Built-in Self Test (BIST) with ATPG and AC/DC boundary scan support
  • Built-in PRBS pattern generation and checking for standalone loopback testing
  • Continuous time linear equalizer (CTLe) with programmable settings providing up to 12dB gain peaking at Nyquist frequencies

Deliverables

  • PMA Hard Macro
  • PCS-BIST Soft Macro
  • Datasheet
  • SoC integration guide
  • Optional design integration and bring-up support services
