Description
This Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Gen3 PHY is compliant with PCIe 3.0 Base Specification with support of PIPE 4.3 interface spec. Low power consumption is achieved due to support of an additional PLL control, reference clock control, and embedded power gating control.
Also, the low power mode setting being configurable, the PHY is widely applicable for various situations under different consideration of power consumption. PCIe PHY functionality is verified in NC-Verilog simulation software using test bench written in Verilog HDL.
