Overview

We propound best in class fully customizable PCIe 3.0 PHY, targeted for both enterprise and client application, the complaint to PCIe 3.0 specification. The PHY IP is designed to carry a broad range of applications and can supply maximum throughput through its eight lanes configuration. The PHY supports PCIE3.0(8Gb/s/5Gb/s/2.5Gb/s) physical layer specifications.The PHY module comprises a top-level wrapper combining both the Physical Media Attachment (PMA) layer and the Physical Coding Sub-Block (PCS) layer.
The PHY provides a cost-effective solution that is designed to meet the needs of today’s high-speed chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and backplane interfaces while being extremely low in power and area.

Key features

  • Physical coding sublayer (PCS) block with PIPE interface
  • PCIe 3.0 PHY with backward compatibility
  • Spread-spectrum clocking (SRIS)
  • Supports L0-L2 power states and L1.1 and L1.2 substates
  • Allows integration of high-speed components into a single functional block as seen by the endpoint device designer.
  • Standard PHY interface enables multiple IP sources for PCI Express Logical Layer and provides a target interface for PCI Express PHY vendors.
  • Multi-channel PHY macro with a single clock and control core for higher density
  • Supports both internal and external reference clock inputs
  • Supports 2.5Gb/s only or 2.5Gb/s,5.0Gb/s and 8.0Gb/s serial data transmission rate
  • PIPE bifurcation as well as PHY macro aggregation for x8 and x16 PHY configurations
  • Superior Rx jitter & cross talk tolerance reduces design constraints for a wider range of board layout designs
  • Data and clock recovery from a serial stream on the PCI Express bus
  • 8b/10b encode/decode and error indication
  • Automated Test Equipment (ATE) test vectors for complete at-speed production testing

Benefits

  • Small size
  • Low power
  • Supports both internal and external reference clock inputs
  • High ATE coverage for complete at-speed production testing
  • Simple integration
  • Multi-channel PHY macro with a single clock and control core for higher density
  • Flexible customization

What’s Included?

  • Datasheet, Characterization Report
  • Comprehensive documentation and Support
  • GDSII ported to required process node
  • Physical Design scripts

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.

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 UniProSM as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

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?
