PCI express PHY

퀄리타스반도체는 PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) 솔루션에 초점을 맞춘 초고속 인터커넥트 기술을 제공합니다. PCIe 규격은 다양한 주변 기기와의 연결을 위한 인터커넥트 기술로 매 버전이 증가할 때마다 데이터 전송 속도는 두 배씩 증가하여 6.0 버전에서는 64 Gbps에 이르는 초고속 전송을 지원합니다. 인공지능, 자동차, 데이터 센터, 스토리지, 모바일 등 다양한 분야에서 고대역폭과 저지연 통신에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 더욱이 활용이 늘어나고 있습니다.

퀄리타스반도체는 8 nm FinFET 공정에서 PCIe 4.0 PHY IP를 제공하고 있으며, 14 nm, 5 nm, 4 nm 공정으로 확장할 계획입니다. 또한, 5 nm 공정에서 DSP 기반의 PCIe 6.0 PHY를 개발하고 있습니다.

Qualitas' PCIe 6.0 PHY IP consists of hardmacro PMA and PCS compliant with PCIe Base 6.0 specification. This IP offers a cost-effective and low-power solution using FinFET CMOS technology. It includes all ESD I/Os and bump pads and supports extensive built-in self test features such as loopback and scan.

Features

  • compliant with PCIe Base 6.0 and PIPE 6.2
  • Supports Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, Gen4, Gen5 and Gen6
  • Lane configuration
    Common (CMN) and 1, 2 or 4 Data Lanes
  • Supports high-resolution multi-tap FFE in transmitter
  • Supports CTLE, DSP-based multi-tap FFE and 1-tap DFE for channel equalization in receiver
  • Supports adaptive channel equalization
  • Requires a 100 MHz reference clock is required (with support for differential input buffer)
  • Built-in self test feature capable of generating and checking PRBS patterns
  • PCS included in PHY hardmacro
