The multi-channel DesignWare PHY IP for PCI Express 3.0 includes Synopsys’ high-speed, high-performance transceiver to meet today’s applications’ demands for higher bandwidth. The PHY provides a cost-effective and low-power solution that is designed to meet the needs of today’s PCIe designs while being extremely low in power and area.
Using leading-edge design, analysis, simulation, and measurement techniques, Synopsys delivers exceptional signal integrity and jitter performance that exceeds the PCI Express standard’s electrical specifications. The high-margin, robust PHY architecture tolerates process, voltage and temperature (PVT) manufacturing variations and is implemented with standard CMOS digital process technologies. The PHY is small in area and provides a low-power, cost-effective solution that is designed to support PCI-SIG PCIe 3.0, 2.x, and 1.x standards and to meet the needs of applications with high-speed chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and backplane interfaces.
The PHY IP for PCI Express 3.0 reduces both product development cycles and the need for costly field support by employing internal test features. The multi-tap transmitter and receiver equalizers, along with the advanced built-in diagnostics and ATE test vectors, enable customers to control, monitor and test for signal integrity without the need for expensive test equipment. This provides on-chip visibility into actual link and channel performance to quickly improve signal integrity.
As the leading provider of PCI Express IP, Synopsys offers a complete PCI Express 3.0 IP solution, including digital controllers, PCIe 3.0 PHY, and verification IP from a single vendor. Accessing all the IP from one provider allows designers to lower the risk and cost of integrating the 8.0 Gbps PCI Express interface into their high performance SoC designs.
