PCIe Gen2 PHY

Overview

* Endpoint or Root Complex
* PIPE includes skip insertion, deletion
* PCIe power savings modes
* Port bifurcation support

Key Features

  • PCI Express Gen 2 and Gen 1 compliant
  • Supports various PCI Express modes and extensions
  • Programmable amplitude and pre-emphasis
  • Programmable receiver equalization
  • PIPE v2.0 compliant signals
  • Three different build configurations are supported for customer applications
  • Status pins for checking PHY functionality
  • Integrated bandgap
  • Automatic driver/receiver impedance calibration

Benefits

  • Low Risk - Silicon proven today in multiple foundries and processes with Extensive Si characterization data
  • Excellent Interoperability - LC tank oscillator that gives low noise and jitter
  • Superior Noise Immunity - Fully differential circuitry and Voltage Regulator for enhanced noise immunity
  • Low Power - As low as 60mW per lane at 3.125Gb/s
  • Minimal Area - for Wire bond as well as flip-chip package
  • Improve Test Coverage - Multiple loopback modes with 12 built-in patterns
  • Scan built in to all digital,Serial Control Register (SCR) for simplified testing, JTAG support (DC and AC )
  • Lowest Total Cost of Ownership
  • Customization/ Integration support
