Overview

The PCIe REF PLL addresses stringent performance requirements in high-speed serial link applications that support the PCI Express Gen4 and Gen5 serial bus standard where SRIS (Separate RefClk Independent Spread-spectrum clock generation) is required. This SSCG PLL is designed for digital logic processes and uses robust design techniques to work in noisy SoC environments.

The PLL macro is implemented in Analog Bits’proprietary architecture that uses core and 1.2V IO devices.

With all components integrated, jitter performance and standby-power are significantly improved.

Generating multiple clock frequencies using Specman "real" feature in mixed (Analog/Digital) design environments

Using our “Specman agent approach for the Mixed Verification” along with exploiting “real” feature of Specman version 8.2, we can introduce directed/constrained randomization to the frequencies needed for the analog modules which are interacting with the DUT (Design Under Test). This approach gives complete controllability over the clock frequencies, which can be directly randomized and modified on-the-fly from the testcase, as the scenario may demand.
