Overview

The IntelliProp IPC-GZ197A-ZM Gen-Z Physical Layer for PCIe is an IP Core that allows companies to attach a Gen-Z core to a PCIe Phy. The IPC-GZ197A-ZM is compliant with the Gen-Z 1.1 Physical Layer Specification and provides support for multi-lane links, lane reversal, and link width reduction. The IPC-GZ197A-ZM IP Core is designed for integration into FPGA and ASIC developments to minimize development time and familiarization required to develop this IP independently. The IPC-GZ197A-ZM is fully verified in pseudo random simulation.

The IPC-GZ197A-ZM Gen-Z Physical Layer for PCIe provides a Gen-Z 1.1 Physical Layer Specification compliant Physical Layer Abstraction interface for Gen-Z communication over a PCIe Phy. The IP core is scalable to support up to 16 lanes in a single link and most PLA data widths. The IntelliProp Bus Interface connection to the Transceiver Wrapper allows for register configurable transmitter and receiver equalization settings of the transceivers. The IP core manages initialization and configuration of the transceivers as well as striping and scrambling/descrambling of link layer data over the PLA interface.

UFS Goes Mainstream

UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

Design IP Faster: Introducing the C~ High-Level Language

In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Can MIPI and MDDI Co-Exist?

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
