  8. Byte Value 00H 8b/10b Encoded Byte Value High speed digital systems laboratory המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות 8/10b conversion (4.2.1) • Convert each byte to a 10bit character according to a pre-defined table. • Extra characters are used as control characters or not used. • Embedded clocking-> No need to add clock traces. • Error detection (running disparity). • DC balancing • Reduces ISI.

  9. High speed digital systems laboratory המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות PCI Express scrambling (4.2.3) • Assures no constant pattern is transmitted. • Spread the energy transmitted in one frequency to different frequencies-> reduces EMI! (and gets FCC approval) • Only data characters are encoded. • Encoding is done using a linear feedback shift register. • Decoding is done using the same process at the receiver side.

  10. High speed digital systems laboratory המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות Frequency Mismatch (4.2.7) How does the protocol cope with the fact that each device is feed by a different clock source? TX+ RX+ TX- RX- Device A Device B Ref. Clock Ref. Clock TX+ RX+ RX- TX-

  11. High speed digital systems laboratory המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות Frequency Mismatch (4.2.7) Input @ 2501MHz Output @ 2500MHz Input Shift Register is filling up faster than it is emptied! Input @ 2500MHz Output @ 2501MHz Input Shift Register is emptied faster than it is filled! If we take 600ppm difference between clocks, the transmitter and receiver clocks can shift one clock every 1666 clocks!

  12. High speed digital systems laboratory המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות Frequency Mismatch-Solution • The protocol issues a SKIP ordered set that can be skipped so that the input shift register can be partially cleared! • The SKIP ordered sets insertion time asdictated by the protocol is between 1180 and 1538 symbol times. • Calculated allowed deviance : ± 300ppm ! • This is known as “clock tolerance compensation mechanism”.
