Port Direction Clock Domain Description
For example, if the MAC connected to PIPE
Gen3x4 has 1bit/lane, then you can use the
following mapping to connect to PIPE:
{pipe_tx_compliance[15:0]= {{4{tx_
compliance _ch3}}, {4{tx_ compliance
_ch2}}, {4{tx_ compliance _ch1}}, {4{tx_
compliance _ch0}}}. Where tx_ compliance
_* is the output signal from MAC.
Active High
pipe_rx_polarity[(N-1):
0]
In Asynchronous
When 1'b1, instructs the PHY layer to invert
the polarity on the received data.
Active High
pipe_powerdown[(2N-1):
0]
In
tx_coreclkin
Requests the PHY to change its power state
to the specified state. The Power States are
encoded as follows:
2'b00: P0 - Normal operation.
2'b01: P0s - Low recovery time, power
saving state.
2'b10: P1 - Longer recovery time, lower
power state .
2'b11: P2 - Lowest power state.
pipe_tx_margin[(3N-1):
0]
In
tx_coreclkin
Transmit V
OD
margin selection. The PHY-MAC
sets the value for this signal based on the
value from the Link Control 2 Register. The
following encodings are defined:
3'b000: Normal operating range
3'b001: Full swing: 800 - 1200 mV; Half
swing: 400 - 700 mV.
3'b010:-3'b011: Reserved.
3'b100-3'b111: Full swing: 200 - 400mV;
Half swing: 100 - 200 mV else reserved.
pipe_tx_swing[(N-1):0]
In
tx_coreclkin
Indicates whether the transceiver is using
Full swing or Half swing voltage as defined by
the pipe_tx_margin.
1'b0-Full swing.
1'b1-Half swing.
pipe_tx_deemph[(N-1):0]
In Asynchronous
Transmit de-emphasis selection. In PCI
Express Gen2 (5 Gbps) mode it selects the
transmitter de-emphasis:
1'b0: –6 dB.
1'b1: –3.5 dB.
pipe_g3_tx_deemph[(18N-
1):0]
In Asynchronous
The pipe_g3_tx_deemph port is used to
select the link partners transmitter de-
emphasis during equalization. The 18 bits
specify the following coefficients:
[5:0]: C
-1
[11:6]: C
0
[17:12]: C
+1
Refer to Preset Mappings to TX De-emphasis
on page 267 for presets to TX de-emphasis
mappings. In Gen3 capable designs, the TX
de-emphasis for Gen2 data rate is always -6
dB. The TX de-emphasis for Gen1 data rate
is always -3.5 dB.
Refer to section 6.6 of Intel PHY Interface for
PCI Express (PIPE) Architecture for more
information.
