USB 3.2 and DP 1.4 TX Combo PHY

This IP is a USB 3.2 and DP combo PHY which can be flexibly configured as USB mode and DP mode.

Overview

This IP is a USB 3.2 and DP combo PHY which can be flexibly configured as USB mode and DP mode. The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 PHY mode provides a complete range of USB 3.2 Gen2 host and peripheral applications at up to 20 Gbps. The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 PHY mode also integrates high-speed mixed signal circuits to support Gen2 (10 Gbps) and Gen1 (5 Gbps). The DP PHY mode provides data rates of 1.62 Gbps, 2.7 Gbps, 5.4 Gbps and 8.1 Gbps compatible with one lane, two lanes, and four lanes.

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.
