Overview
The multi-channel PHY IP for PCI Express® (PCIe®)5.0 and CXL includes a high-speed, high-performance transceiver to meet today’s demands for higher bandwidth. The PHY meets the needs of today’s high-speed chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and backplane interfaces while being extremely low in power and area.
Using leading-edge design, analysis, simulation, and measurement techniques, the supplier delivers exceptional signal integrity and jitter performance that exceeds the PCI Express standards electrical specifications. The high-margin, robust PHY architecture tolerates process, voltage and temperature (PVT) manufacturing variations and is implemented with standard CMOS digital process technologies.
The multi-tap transmitter and receiver equalizers, along with the advanced built-in diagnostics and ATE test vectors, enable customers to control, monitor and test for signal integrity without the need for expensive test equipment. This provides on-chip visibility into actual link and channel performance to quickly improve signal integrity, reducing both product development cycles and the need for costly field support.

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.
This article discusses the road to achieving compliance and the role that Synopsys DesignWare Intellectual Property (IP) for PCI Express can play in helping to achieve interoperability and compliance
Using complete, integrated DDR2 SDRAM memory physical interface IP solutions can significantly reduce the risks associated with combining discrete memory subsystem blocks, such as interoperability and schedule. Packaged as a complete, integrated place-and
Discover Synopsys’ first complete UFS 5.0 and M‑PHY v6.0 IP solution for high-speed, efficient storage in mobile, automotive, and AI-enabled 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.
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.
