Overview

The 224G Ethernet PHY IP, an integral part of the high-speed SerDes IP portfolio, meets the growing high bandwidth and low latency needs of high-performance data center applications. Using leading-edge design, analysis, simulation, and measurement techniques, the 224G Ethernet PHY delivers exceptional signal integrity and jitter performance that exceeds the IEEE 802.3 and OIF standards electrical specifications.

The area efficient PHY demonstrates zero post-FEC BER with ultra-high power efficiency for upcoming OSFP and OSFP -XD form factors. The 1.25-224Gbps PHY supports Pulse-Amplitude Modulation 4 and Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) signaling to deliver up to 1.6T Ethernet in an eight lane configuration.

The configurable transmitter and advanced DSP-based receiver with analog-to-digital converter (ADC) enable designers to control and optimize signal integrity and performance. The CCA algorithm provides a robust performance across voltage and temperature variations. The low jitter PLLs and multi-loop clock and data recovery circuits provide robust timing recovery and better jitter performance, while the embedded bit error rate (BER) tester and internal eye monitor provide on-chip testability and visibility into channel performance.

The PHY integrates with the the Physical Coding Sublayer and Digital Controllers/Media Access Controller (MAC) IP solutions to reduce design time and to help designers achieve first-pass silicon success.

Combined with the vendor’ routing feasibility study, packages substrate guidelines, signal and power integrity models, and thorough crosstalk analysis, the vendor provides a comprehensive 224G Ethernet PHY solution for fast and reliable SoC integration.

Accelerating the Development of TLM-2.0 Models Using Model Authoring Kits (MAKs)

Model authoring kits (MAKs) enable the rapid development of transaction-level models, TLMs, of a given functionality or protocol. MAKs include base functionalities that are common to all models independent of the RTL implementation in a well-structured way, allowing for maximum reuse. The DesignWare System-Level Library provides MAKs for UART and USB. Taking the example of a USB 2.0 EHCI controller model using MAKs, this paper explains the significant design time reduction that can be achieved.

Industry 1st CXL 4.0 Verification IP: Transforming AI and HPC Systems

Synopsys continues to lead innovation with the industry’s first commercially available CXL 4.0 Verification IP (VIP). This comprehensive solution supports the full 128 GT/s data rate, IO throttling, and streamlined port negotiation, equipping designers to validate and optimize their products for the future.

Low Power Analysis and Verification of Super Speed Inter-Chip (SSIC) IP

In our current work, we focus on the low power analysis and verification challenges and the methodology used to verify low power design. The power-gating feature that we term Hibernation brings in significant power savings to Synopsys SSIC IP Controller. The verification tests the functionality of the Controller before, during and after hibernation state. The low power analysis will showcase the power savings achieved in SSIC IP with and Without Hibernation.
