Description
which can be enabled to properly lock the CDR and reach a valid
state of receiver adaptation.
pipe_linkevalchange_o
Out
6*NL
Rx equalization link evaluation change. This signal is a per-lane
signal which is used by the PHY layer to indicate what the next
direction of coefficient change should be:
[5:4]: C+1(01b incr/00b: same/10b decr)
[3:2]: C0 (01b incr/00b: same /10b decr)
[1:0]: C-1 (01b incr/00b: same/10b decr)
pipe_linkevalfigure_o
Out
8*NL
Rx Equalization Link Evaluation FOM. This signal is a per-lane
signal which is used by the PHY layer to indicate what FOM at
the end of an evaluation is.
The higher this value, the better equalization result. A low FOM
is not a direct indicator of a high bit error ratio, and may vary
based on the loss of the channel.
PIPE CLKREQ# and L1 Substance Signals
pipe_pclkreq_n_i
In
NL
L1 substate request. Active low request to enter L1 substate.
pipe_pclkack_n_o
Out
NL
L1 substate acknowledge. Active low acknowledge to enter L1
substate.
pipe_rxelecidle_disable_i
In
NL
L1 substate disable activity detector. Through this signal, the
MAC effectively disable the activity detector circuit (power
down), and move the PHY to either L1.1 (Tx Common Mode
voltage is still valid) or L1.2 (Tx Common Mode voltage is
disabled).
pipe_txcommonmode_disable_i
In
NL
L1 substate disabled Tx Common Mode voltage. Through this
signal, the MAC effectively configure the Tx driver into Hi-Z
(power down) and move the PHY to either L1.2 (Tx Common
Mode voltage is disabled).
PCIE-LL Interface
link1_csr_pipe_reset_i
In
NL
Register control to reset lane3 in PCIE mode for link1.
link0_csr_pipe_reset_i
In
4*NL
Register control to reset lane0~3 in PCIE mode for link0.
pipe_power_down_LL_i
In
2*NL
PHY Power Down control.
2’b00 – P0 (normal operation)
2’b01 – P0s (Tx L0s)
2’b10 – P1 (L1 or Reset)
2’b11 – P2 (L2)
pipe_rate_LL_i
In
2*NL
PHY rate control.
2’b11 – 16G
2’b10 – 8G
2’b01 – 5G
2’b00 – 2.5G
Must be set to speed supported by the core.
pipe_tx_detect_rx_loopback_LL_i
In
NL
If pipe_power_down_LL_i == 2’10, 1’b1 – PHY Tx Detection
Request.
If pipe_tx_elec_idle_LL_i == 1’b0, 1’b1 – PHY Rx to Tx Loopback
Request.
Otherwise, 1’b0.
pipe_rx_eq_eval_LL_i
In
NL
Set and hold this signal to 1’b1 to request the PHY to evaluate
the far end transmitter Tx Eq settings
pipe_invalid_request_LL_i
In
NL
Rx equalization invalid request.
When this signal is asserted, the PHY stops the current
evaluation and provides a new direction through
pipe_linkevalchange_o signal.
pipe_rx_preset_hint_LL_i
In
3*NL
Rx equalization preset hint.
Used to indicate the PHY what seems to be a good starting point
