PCIe PHY is designed for high-speed serial communication, crucial for connecting components in modern embedded systems. This PHY makes use of Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology, providing a throughput and latency performance superior to traditional wide parallel bus technology. Supporting PCIe 4.0, 3.0, and 2.0 standards, this PHY ensures optimal performance with features like low latency, low power consumption, and a small form factor.
The PHY includes a hard macro for physical media attachment, which supports multiple PCIe protocols. It also includes a physical coding sublayer as a soft macro that complies with the PIPE 4.3 standard. This robust configuration allows it to support a wide range of device interconnects, essential for tasks demanding high-speed data transfer and minimal interruption.
Additionally, it offers configurable data lanes with options for speeds ranging from 16 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps per lane, supporting complex circuit integration with its built-in calibration features. This makes it ideal for use in high-performance computing where maintaining signal integrity and achieving the highest possible interface speeds are crucial.
