Send data to the data communications channel is filled with either the commanding DTE? There is no explicit hardware status signal to indicate that the DCE has entered a loopback mode. The appropriate amount of time is application dependent, and is not a part of this specification. The loopback mode applies to both timing and data signals. ST would not be used, and could not be relied upon as a valid clock source under these circumstances.
Test Mode is asserted by the DCE when it is in a test mode caused by either local or remote loopbacks. This signal is optional. SG is connect? SG ensures that the transmit signal levels stay within the common mode input range of the receivers. The shield encapsulates the cable for EMI purposes, and is not implicitly intended to carry signal return currents.
Because the shield is terminated directly to the DTE and DCE chassis, the shield is not given a pin assignment within the connector. Shield continuity between connecting cables is maintained by the connector housing.
All signals are balanced, differentially driven, and received at standard ECL levels. The ECL negative supply voltage, Vee, may be either In the event that the interface cable is not present, the differential ECL receivers must default to a known state.
To guarantee this, it is necessary when using the 10H or 10H to add a 1. This allows the proper mvolts minimum to be developed across the ohm resistors and will create a longitudinal termination of ohms. The default state of all interface signals is deasserted.
It is not necessary to use external resistors when using the 10H since it has an internal bias network which will force an output low state when the inputs are left floating. The interface must not be damaged by an open circuit or short circuit connection on any combination of pins. Source timing is defined as timing waveforms generated at a transmitter.
Destination timing is defined as timing waveforms incident at a receiver. The leading edge of the timing pulse shall be defined as the boundary between deassertion and assertion. The trailing edge of the timing pulse shall be defined as the boundary between assertion and deassertion. At the receiver, once passing through the line receiver, the data should immediately again be reclocked into an ECL flip flop. Control signals do not require the use of a flip-flop.
This value is obtained from:. Sensitivity being supported as signaling rates are increasing. Given the of FB-DIMM interface to different variations in parameters is need for cost-effective manufacturing, system vendors are studied for different test cases in section IV.
Section V faced with limited design options to support required memory concludes the paper. Figure 3. Channels per MC with increasing data rates.
The number of channels supported by the memory controller cannot be increased as the current parallel channel interface consumes large number of pins per channel. Increase in number of channels supported would result in unacceptable increase in cost to the platform.
Figure 4 shows the routing in a present day DDR2 memory subsystem [3]. Figure 5. Fully-buffered DIMM interface. The short distances and limited number of loads on a DIMM allow the parallel interface to be much faster. Figure 4. Southbound channel carries command, address, and write data from the memory controller to the The complexity in routing between the memory controller DIMMs. For small responses back from the DIMMs to the memory controller. Northbound channel operates in [5].
The signal pairs are not clocked together, thus obviating the need for path length matching on the system board. A de-skewing circuitry is used on either side of the link to synchronize the incoming bit-streams. A common base clock is driven to the memory controller and all the DIMMs. One wire is the data line, and the other is the data clock [5]. Similar procedure is repeated for read responses. This is the reason Figure 6.
Also, AMBs have a pass through latency of 2. Also, the package costs for memory controller When communicating to the DIMMs at the end in a channel was large because of its pin count.
Reduction in pin count for these latency issues are significant. Some of this latency is the memory controller also results in huge cost saving. In fact, latency only affects at lighter loads and at seen that compared to Figure 4 the routing is less complex heavier loads the latency on an FB-DIMM is less than a DDR and much simple.
DRAM channel. The peak throughput is 1. DDR channel. For roughly interface are analyzed. It can be seen that the topology from memory shorter turn-around time resulting in reflections of reflections. Since taking all these factors integrity point of view as the distance between DIMMs is into account is important for reliable signal quality.
Figure 10 shows the channel loss of a differential 5. It can be seen that at 2 GHz, the channel has a loss around Figure 9 shows the signal degradation of differential signal as it transits from memory controller to the AMB receiver circuit though connectors and board and riser transmission lines that were each five inches in length.
Figure Frequency domain attenuation for an ohm differential transmission line. Similarly, loss through connectors and packages can be estimated at the frequency of interest.
Control bits, if any, are appended after the LSB to each conversion sample. After using the number of converters, the number of samples per frame, the JESDB word size, and the maximum lane rate to calculate the number of lanes, we can determine the number of octets transmitted per frame, F. For more on JESD link parameters, refer to Reference 1, which describes the link parameters in greater detail.
In addition, a four part webinar series provides further information on the JESD standard beginning with the transport layer. The transport layer determines how to pack the data from the ADC based on the link configuration parameters that have been defined for a given device.
A checksum is generated from the parameters and transmitted so that the receiver FPGA can verify the link configuration parameters were received correctly.
The parameters sent across the link are not used to configure the receiver; they are only used to verify that the link parameters match. For more on the link configuration parameters, please see more in Reference 1 at the end of this article. The link establishment consists of three distinct phases:. Once a certain number of consecutive K In the ILAS, the main purpose is to align all the lanes of the link, to verify the parameters of the link, and to establish where the frame and multiframe boundaries are in the incoming data stream at the receiver.
The ILAS consists of four or more multiframes. Additional multiframes can be added to ILAS if needed by the receiver. In systems were no interlane skew management is needed, ILAS can be bypassed given both the transmitter and receiver support the mode.
In this phase, user data is streamed from the transmitter to the receiver according to the link parameters that have been defined in the transmitter ADC and relayed to the receiver FPGA. If any of these errors exists, it is reported back to the transmitter in one two ways:. During the initial lane alignment sequence, the data link layers are responsible for aligning the lanes in the receiver. This mitigates the effects ofa large amount of system skew. Upon reaching the user data phase, character replacement in the data link layer allows frame and lane alignment to be monitored and corrected if necessary.
Character replacement is performed on both frame and multiframe boundaries. There are two cases, one for frame-based character replacement and the other for multiframe-based character replacement.
This is also done if the last character of the previous frame is 0xFC when scrambling is enabled. In this case, character replacement is also done if the last character of the previous multiframe is 0x7C when scrambling is enabled.
In receiver character replacement, the receiver must do the exact opposite of what is done in the transmitter. If the receiver detects two consecutive errors, it can realign the lanes. However, data will be corrupted while it performs this operation. For more information on the control characters, see Reference 3. Data can be optionally scrambled, but it is important to note that the scrambling does not start until the very first octet is following the ILAS. Scrambling can be optionally implemented in order to reduce spectral peak emissions on the high speed serial lanes between the transmitter and receiver.
In certain system designs, this can be advantageous where particular data patterns may result in the generation of spectra detrimental to the frequencies of operation in a given system. Since the scrambling pattern is self synchronous, the two shift registers at the input and output must not be set to the same initial setting, otherwise the scrambling function would not work. The descrambler is done in such that it will always catch up and self synchronize to the scrambler after two octets of data.
This layer should have the ability to be bypassed since not all systems may require the data stream to be scrambled. These blocks are often designed using custom cells since the data transfer rates are very high.
Speed Grade 1 supports up to 3. Speed Grade 2 supports up to 6.
