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.
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

requirements
CEI-6G: Definition Electrical and jitter specifications for future
interfaces including SFI, SPI and TFI for OIF as well as for other interfaces unrelated to OIF (examples could include Serial Rapid IO, SAS, Ethernet). It does not contain any protocol implementations (that is contained within the OIF’s CEI-P document or within other standards).• A CEI-6G Short Reach specification for: Data
lane(s) that support bit rates from 4.976 to 6+Gsym/s over Printed Circuit Boards.
• Physical reach between 0 to 200mm and up to 1 connector.
• A CEI-6G Long Reach specification for Data lane(s) that support bit rates from 4.976 to 6+Gsym/s over Printed Circuit Boards.
• Physical reach between 0 to 1m and up to 2 connectors.
CEI-6G: Requirements

requirement to verify to 10-12).3. Short Reach:

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
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).
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.
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.
