Title: L0S (EI) detector in Serial Links such as PCIE Post by neoflash on May 8th, 2009, 8:41pm Signal detection level of serial transceivers is from 65mV-ppd to 175mV-ppd, with 120mV-ppd as nominal detection threshold. (PCIE Gen2) However, if the data pattern is clock and if there is 20dB attenuation at baud rate, the signal amplitude will be close to 1/10 of transmitter side full amplitude. Assuming Tx amplitude is 1200mV-ppd, the rx side amplitude is 1/10 and close to 120mV-ppd. This signal will be rejected by input signal detector and chip will enter electrical idle. How we handle this? |
