USB3.0 PCIe3 SATA3 Combo PHY IP

Description

The MiPHYA c4.0 macrocell is extracted from production chips, it implements the lower (physical) layer protocols of the following standards:
  • USB 3.0 SuperSpeed
  • PCI-e 3.0
  • SATA gen1/2/3
Data transmission and reception are provided over a dual differential pair CABLE. The TX (transmit) and RX (receive) serial channels operate plesiochronously (NRZ). The macro-cell can be used in Host or Device applications.

Features

    • Serial transceiver (physical layer)
    • Serializer and deserializer
    • Direct support for USB3.0 SuperSpeed at 5.0 Gbit/s
    • Direct support for 6.0 Gbit/s SATA
    • 2.5 and 5.0 Gbit/s PCI Express operation
    • Embedded oscillator
    • High-performance PLL
    • 20-bit parallel interface
    • SSC modulation
    • Comma detect to provide word alignment of incoming serial stream
    • Requires DC-balanced encoding scheme
    • Integrated impedance adaptation to transmission line characteristics
    • Serial TX buffer with programmabl amplitude, pre-emphasis and slew rate
    • OOB signaling
    • JTAG test access port allows Internal loop-back for self-test
    • Random pattern auto-test
    • 1.1 V power supply -5 / +10%
    • 1.8 or 2.5 V power supply +/- 10%
Integrated BIST allows:
    • Self test of the macrocell in loop back mode at Gigabit rate on production testers
    • Self test of the macrocell at system level, either in internal/external loop back mode or between different chips in transmission mode

Applications

    • USB 3.0 SuperSpeed
    • PCI-e 3.0
    • SATA gen1/2/3 Transmission schemes encoding octets a 10-bit code groups to form a DC-balanced stream
    • High-performance backplane interconnect

Deliverables

  • GDSII layout and layer map files with Abstract with size and pin locations (lef)
  • Verilog-a, CDL, encrypted Spectra netlist with Verification reports and environment Test cases, bring-up plans, coverage Re- ports
  • System level simulation model for channel simulations
