Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for voltage droop mitigation associated with a voltage rail that supplies power to circuitry of a chiplet. Techniques disclosed include detecting an upcoming transmission of data packets that are to be transmitted through a physical layer of the chiplet. Then, before transmitting the data packets through the physical layer, throttling a rate of bandwidth utilization in the physical layer and transmitting, by the controller, the data packets through the physical layer.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for enabling localized control of link states in a computing system are disclosed. A computing system includes at least a host processor, a communication fabric, one or more devices, one or more links, and a local link controller to monitor the one or more links. In various implementations, the local link controller detects and controls states of a link without requiring communication with, or intervention by, the host processor. In various implementations, this local control by the link controller includes control over the clock signals provided to the link. For example, the local link controller can directly control the frequency of a clock supplied to the link. In addition, in various implementations the link controller controls the power supplied to the link. For example, the link controller can control the voltage supplied to the link.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for physical layer bypass data transmission between physical coding sub-layers (PCS) includes encoding the data for transmission over a serial low-speed link. The data is transmitted from a first PCS via a serial connection over a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) transmission bypass path The data is received by a second PCS via a SERDES receive bypass path.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing transmit equalization at a target high speed are disclosed. A computing system includes at least a transmitter, receiver, and a communication channel connecting the transmitter and the receiver. The communication channel includes a plurality of lanes which are subdivided into a first subset of lanes and a second subset of lanes. During equalization training, the first subset of lanes operate at a first speed while the second subset of lanes operate at a second speed. The first speed is the desired target speed for operating the communication link while the second speed is a relatively low speed capable of reliably carrying data over a given lane prior to equalization training. The first subset of lanes are trained at the first speed while feedback is conveyed from the receiver to the transmitter using the second subset of lanes operating at the second speed.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for automatic firmware provision of high speed serializer/deserializer (SERDES) links are disclosed. A system on chip (SoC) includes one or more microcontrollers, a programmable interconnect, a plurality of physical layer engines, and a plurality of SERDES lanes. The programmable interconnect and the plurality of SERDES lanes are able to support communication protocols for interfaces such as PCIE, SATA, Ethernet, and others. On bootup, the SoC receives a custom specification of how the plurality of SERDES lanes are to be configured. The one or more microcontrollers generate a mapping for the programmable interconnect based on the specification. The mapping is used to configure the programmable interconnect to match the specification. The result is the programmable interconnect connecting the plurality of SERDES lanes to the appropriate physical layer circuits to implement the desired configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for scheduling a data link training by a controller. The system and method include receiving an indication that a physical layer of a data link is not transferring data and initiating a training process of the physical layer of the data link in response to the indication that the physical layer of the data link is not transferring data. In one aspect, the indication that the physical layer of a data link is not transferring data is an indication that the physical layer of the data link is in a low power state. In another aspect, the indication that the physical layer of a data link is not transferring data is an indication that a data transfer has been completed.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a deskewing method for a physical layer interface on a multi-chip module are disclosed. A circuit connected to a plurality of communication lanes trains each lane to synchronize a local clock of the lane with a corresponding global clock at a beginning of a timing window. Next, the circuit symbol rotates each lane by a single step responsive to determining that all of the plurality of lanes have an incorrect symbol alignment. Responsive to determining that some but not all of the plurality of lanes have a correct symbol alignment, the circuit symbol rotates lanes which have an incorrect symbol alignment by a single step. When the end of the timing window has been reached, the circuit symbol rotates lanes which have a correct symbol alignment and adjusts a phase of a corresponding global clock to compensate for missed symbol rotations.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to detecting and minimizing timing problems created by clock domain crossing (CDC) in integrated circuits. In various embodiments, one or more timing parameters are associated with a path that crosses between clock domains in an integrated circuit, where the one or more timing parameters specify a propagation delay for the path. In one embodiment, the timing parameters may be distributed to different design stages using a configuration file. In some embodiments, the one or more parameters may be used in conjunction with an RTL model to simulate propagation of a data signal along the path. In some embodiments, the one or more parameters may be used in conjunction with a netlist to create a physical design for the integrated circuit, where the physical design includes a representation of the path that has the specified propagation delay.
