Interoperability Strategy Anthony Sanders, Infineon Technologies

Define exact compliancy tests for transmitter in terms of eye masks, output jitter and ability to perform emphasis

Define compliancy test for channels using worst case transmitter and reference receiver

Give guidelines concerning channel construction and frequency domain performance

Receiver must be able to tolerate any combination of compliant transmitter and compliant channel thus not restricting the market in terms of developed solutions.

Page 26: DesignCon 2004 Introducing the OIF Common Electrical I/O Project.

Channel Interoperability Strategy Backplanes are measured using traditional

network analysers and cascaded with a worse case model of the

transmitter and receiver return loss

The receiver pulse response is then calculated for a given transmitter pulse shape

CEI-6G: Some typical applications

Multiplexing a 16-lane SFI-5 or SPI-5 link to a 8-lane CEI-6G short reach link

Multiplexing a 16-lane SFI-5 or SPI-5 link to a 8-lane CEI-6G long reach link, thus allowing the signals across a backplane

Multiplexing 2*n TFI-5 links to a n-lane CEI-6G long reach links

Multiplexing a 4-lane XAUI or 10G Fiber Channel link to a 2-lane CEI-6G LR link

Doubling the speed of a 16-lane SPI-5 link to a 16-lane CEI-6G link, thus allowing up to a factor of 2 over-speed for packet processors

Custom higher speed interconnect and/or backplanes

Page 37: DesignCon 2004 Introducing the OIF Common Electrical I/O Project.

CEI-6G: Restrictions Average transition density and average DC balance

needs to converge to 0.5 over a long period (>109 bits) with a probability of at least one minus the BER ratio.

Probability of run lengths over 10 to be proportional to 2-N for N-like bits in a row (N10). Hence, a run length of 40 bits would occur with a max probability of 2-40.

If a fixed block coding scheme is used (e.g. 8B/10B), the input data must be either be scrambled before coding or the coded data must be scrambled prior to transmission. • This will prevent input data creating killer patterns (e.g.

CJPAT patterns).

Page 38: DesignCon 2004 Introducing the OIF Common Electrical I/O Project.

CEI-6G: Restrictions The ground difference between the driver and

the receiver shall be within ±50mV for SR links and ±100mV for LR links.

Both driver and receiver lane-to-lane skew are each allowed up to 500ps. Higher layers must allow for this (1ns) skew as well as some PCB skew.

Rather than specifying materials, channel components, or configurations, the IA focuses on effective channel characteristics.• Hence a short length of poorer material should

be equivalent to a longer length of premium material. A ‘length’ is effectively defined in terms of its attenuation rather than its physical length.

Page 39: DesignCon 2004 Introducing the OIF Common Electrical I/O Project.

CEI-6G: Restrictions

So for CEI-6G-SR we have the standard open eye at the receiver, however for CEI-6G-LR the eye is closed at the receiver hence requiring receiver equalization.

CEI-6G: Verification A large amount of work is ongoing in the “Jitter and

Interoperability” area given the BER requirements to insure different vendors chips can talk with each other. For CEI-6G-SR the OIF has chosen to specify the

transmitter and receiver. This then implies what are compliment channels. Similar to most other SERDES standards, except that

OIF is using statistical eye’s rather than worst case eye’s.

As CEI-6G-LR can have a closed eye at the receiver, standard methods do not work anymore, so OIF has chosen to move the “receiver” spec point to after an “ideal 5 tap DFE”. Thus specifying the transmitter and compliment channels while implying the receiver spec. So however the real receiver is implemented it needs

to be equivalent or better than a 5 tap DFE.

CEI-11G-LR : Specification Approach

Transmitter Specified• Tx Eye Diagram

Channel Compliance• Channel Specified with S Parameters• Compliance determined with Simulation

Script A compliant receiver shall operate with any

compliant Tx and compliant channel• If Tx and Channel are compliant, receiver

must work.

Transmitter Eye Mask Anthony Sanders, Infineon Technologies

Eye Mask defines limits of the transmit jitter and amplitude but must be measured using a Golden PLL

Given finite sampling of signal, peak value of time jitter must be adjusted

Measuring Output Jitter

Output Jitter is traditionally measured using a Bit Error Tester that is capable of introducing a variable time delay into the trigger path.

A plot of the measured BER against time delay is commonly known as a Bathtub measurement

Jitter Terminology

Unbounded Gaussian Jitter a.k.a. Random Jitter

Uncorrelated Bounded High Probability Jitter a.k.a. Deterministic Jitter

Correlated Bounded Gaussian Jitter, caused by Amplitude to Time conversion of ISI, becomes Correlated Bounded High Probability Jitter at some Error Rate

Jitter Tolerance Testing

For short reach, Jitter tolerance is performed using a stressed eye with a defined amount of jitter and a signal eye “just” at the limited of the defined received eye mask
