Overview

The PCIe 5.0 PHY IP provides high-performance, multi-lane capability and low power architecture for high-bandwidth applications. The PCIe 5.0 IP supports a complete range of PCIe 5.0 Base applications and is compliant with the PIPE 5.2 specification. The IP integrates high-speed mixed signal circuits to support 32Gbps PCIe 5.0 traffic and is backward compatible with 16 Gbps PCIe 4.0, 8.0Gbps PCIe 3.1, 5.0Gbps PCIe 2.1 and 2.5Gbps PCIe 1.1 data rates. With the support of TX and RX equalization techniques, the PCIe 5.0 IP is designed to meet the requirements of different channel conditions.

Key features

  • Fully compliant with PCI Express Base 5.0 electrical specification
  • Compliant with PIPE5.2 (PCIe) specification
  • Supports all power saving modes (P0, P0s, P1, P2) defined in the PIPE5.2 specification
  • Supports L1 PM Substates with CLKREQ#
  • Supports L1 Clock Power Management (CPM) with CLKREQ#
  • Supports Separate Refclk Independent SSC (SRIS) architecture
  • Accessible register controls allow user-specific optimization of critical parameters (e.g., TXPLL bandwidth, TX de-emphasis level, CDR bandwidth, and EQ strength)
  • Supports robust BIST functions for mass production testing
  • Programmable differential reference clock pad that can receive or transmit 100MHz reference clock
  • Built-in PLL for receiving 25MHz crystal clock and generating 100MHz reference clock for RC applications
  • Built-in LDO for analog core power generation, providing easier IC integration and lower BOM cost for SSD applications
  • Macro-based cells that can be combined into bifurcation applications

How a 16Gbps Multi-link, Multi-protocol SerDes PHY Can Transform Datacenter Connectivity

Increasingly, more of the focus on mobile has centered around cloud datacenters and the networking to get the data back and forth between these datacenters and the mobile device. Functions like voice recognition and mapping depend on the ability to split the functionality between the smartphone, for local processing like encryption and compression, and the back end, where a large number of servers can do the heavier lifting before returning the results.

One PHY, Zero Tradeoffs: Multi-Protocol PHY for Edge AI Interface Consolidation

The Cadence 10G multi-protocol PHY was architected to address this exact challenge. Designed to scale across multiple process nodes, it consolidates PCI Express (PCIe), USB, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and other interfaces into a single, compact, silicon-efficient block. What sets it apart is simultaneous multi-protocol support, which enables multiple data paths without duplicating hardware, requiring extra board connectors, or paying the area and power penalty of separate IP blocks.
