Overview
The USB 3.0 PHY IP Core is a transceiver provided for supplementary devices, compliant with UTMI (USB SuperSpeed), USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 PIPE requirements. With minimal power consumption and chip area requirements, the USB3.0 PHY IP transceiver doesn't sacrifice speed or data throughput. The USB3.0 PHY IP offers complete support for high-performance designs by offering an integrated self-test module with integrated jitter injection, a dynamic equalization circuit, and a complete on-chip physical transceiver solution with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection. Multiple IP sources can use the same PHY interface (PIPE) thanks to the USB3 MAC layer. Constant power, integrated Jitter Injection Output, integrated Self-Test, and approved customization of analog circuit characteristics remove internal test monitoring and jitter.

It is very important that the design aspects of the NB-IoT device protocol stack ensure low module cost and low energy consumption. This is required to match the industry expected module costs. This paper outlines some of the NB-IoT Protocol stack specification flexibilities and generic design aspects that are to be considered to meet the above requirements, especially with reference to LTE.
