8. PHY IP Core for PCI Express (PIPE)
The Altera PHY IP Core for PCI Express (PIPE) implements physical coding sublayer
(PCS) and physical media attachment (PMA) modules for Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 data
rates. The Gen1 and Gen2 datapaths are compliant to the Intel PHY Interface for PCI
Express (PIPE) Architecture PCI Express 2.0 specification. The Gen3 datapath is
compliant to the PHY Interface for the PCI Express Architecture PCI Express 3.0
specification. You must connect this PHY IP Core for PCI Express to a third-party
PHY MAC to create a complete PCI Express design.
The PHY IP Core for PCI Express supports ×1, ×2, ×4, or ×8 operation for a total
aggregate bandwidth ranging from 2 to 64 Gbps. In Gen1 and Gen2 modes, the PCI
Express protocol uses 8B/10B encoding which has a 20% overhead. Gen3 modes uses
128b/130b encoding which has an overhead of less than 1%. The Gen3 PHY initially
trains to L0 at the Gen1 data rate using 8B/10B encoding. When the data rate changes
to Gen3, the link changes to 128b/130b encoding.
f Altera also provides a complete hard IP solution for PCI Express that includes the
Transaction, Data Link and PHY MAC. For more information about Altera’s complete
hard IP solution, refer to the Stratix V Hard IP for PCI Express IP Core User Guide.
Figure 8–1 illustrates the top-level blocks of the Gen3 PCI Express PHY (PIPE) for
Stratix V GX devices. Figure 8–2 illustrates the top-level blocks of the Gen1 and Gen2
IP cores. As these figures illustrate, the PIPE interface connects to a third-party MAC
PHY implemented using soft logic in the FPGA fabric. The reconfiguration buses
connect to the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP Core. For more information
about this component, refer to Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller IP Core. An
embedded processor connects to an Avalon-MM PHY management interface for
control and status updates.
