Overview

The multi-lane Multi-Protocol 16G PHY IP is part of a high-performance multi-rate transceiver portfolio, meeting the growing needs for high bandwidth and low latency in enterprise applications. Using leading-edge design, analysis, simulation, and measurement techniques, the multi-protocol 16G PHY delivers exceptional signal integrity and jitter performance that exceeds the standards electrical specifications. The PHY is small in area and provides a low active and standby power solution that supports multiple electrical standards including PCI Express, SATA, Ethernet, OBSI/CPRI, JESD204, Serial Rapid I/O and other industry-standard interconnect protocols. The Synopsys Multi-Protocol 16G PHY IP is optimized to meet the needs of applications with high-speed port side, chip-to-chip, and backplane interfaces.

The configurable transmitter and receiver equalizers enable customers to control and optimize signal integrity and at-speed performance. Continuous Calibration and Adaptation (CCA) provides a robust performance across voltage and temperature variations during normal mode of operation. The PHY supports low standby power with advanced L1 substates and low active power with I/O supply under drive, decision feedback equalization (DFE) bypass and V-Boost off. The embedded bit error rate (BER) tester and internal eye monitor provide on-chip testability and visibility into channel performance. The PHY integrates seamlessly with the Synopsys Physical Sublayers and digital controllers/media access controllers (MACs) to reduce design time and to help designers achieve first-pass silicon success. These features reduce both product development cycles and accelerate time-to-market.

How Ultra Ethernet And UALink Enable High-Performance, Scalable AI Networks

This article delves into the technical aspects of how scaling up and out is becoming a critical need for HPC and AI chip developers, and how new standards such as Ultra Ethernet and Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) aim to tackle the challenges of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity and efficient resource management.

Maximizing Performance & Reliability for Flash Applications with Synopsys xSPI Solution

Systems using SoCs designed in advanced processes generally rely on external Flash devices that use NOR/NAND Flash memory technology for non-volatile storage. NOR Flash memory offers many benefits for device manufacturers and consumers, such as faster reading, low power consumption, and smaller area. In contrast, NAND Flash memories are ideal for applications such as data storage, where higher memory capacity and faster write and erase operations are required.
