Overview
The combination PHY is SATA (Serial ATA) compliant with SATA 3.0 Specification, PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) compliant with PIPE interface protocol, and USB (USB 3.0, USB 2.0) compliant (USB High-speed and Full speed). Supporting additional internal power gating, reference clock control, and PLL control helps reduce power consumption. The PHY is also very helpful for a range of situations under varied considerations of power consumption because of the adaptability of the aforementioned low power mode choice.

Morgan State University (MSU) recently received an Apple Innovation Grant, designed to support engineering schools as they develop their silicon and hardware technologies. The New Silicon Initiative (NSI) is designed to inspire and prepare students for careers in hardware engineering, computer architecture, and silicon chip design.
Increasingly, more of the focus on mobile has centered around cloud datacenters and the networking to get the data back and forth between these datacenters and the mobile device. Functions like voice recognition and mapping depend on the ability to split the functionality between the smartphone, for local processing like encryption and compression, and the back end, where a large number of servers can do the heavier lifting before returning the results.

The Cadence 10G multi-protocol PHY was architected to address this exact challenge. Designed to scale across multiple process nodes, it consolidates PCI Express (PCIe), USB, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and other interfaces into a single, compact, silicon-efficient block. What sets it apart is simultaneous multi-protocol support, which enables multiple data paths without duplicating hardware, requiring extra board connectors, or paying the area and power penalty of separate IP blocks.
