摘要:
Techniques for encoding data are described herein. The method includes receiving a block payload at a physical layer to be transmitted via a data bus. The method includes establishing a block header comprising an arrangement of bits, the block header defining two block header types, wherein a hamming distance between block header types is at least four.

An integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes a power delivery network (PDN), a first voltage rail coupled to the PDN, an input/output (I/O) buffer coupled to the first voltage rail and a driver coupled to the I/O buffer. The driver transmits a current waveform to the I/O buffer whenever a switching event occurs at the I/O buffer.

摘要:
An apparatus includes an input/output (I/O) address verification unit that determines whether an I/O address received from a processor is protected. An interrupt generator is coupled to the I/O address verification unit. The interrupt generator generates an interrupt if the I/O address is protected. An interrupt recorder is coupled to the address verification unit. The interrupt recorder records a cause of the interrupt.
摘要:
In some embodiments, a chip includes first and second nodes, a variable voltage source, and transmitter and control circuitry. The transmitter includes a driver coupled to the first and second nodes, and first and second resistive structures coupled between the first and second nodes, respectively, and the variable voltage source. The control circuitry selects an impedance level for the first and second resistive structures, and detect coupling of a remote receiver to the transmitter through interconnects and detect decoupling of the remote receiver from the transmitter. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A serial point to point link that communicatively couples an integrated circuit (IC) device to another IC device is initialized by transferring a training sequence of symbols over the link. Registers of the IC device are programmed, to set a symbol data pattern and configure a lane transmitter for the link. A start bit in a register of the IC device is programmed, to request that the link be placed in a measurement mode. In this mode, the IC device instructs the other IC device to enter a loopback mode for the link. The IC device transmits a sequence of test symbols over the link and evaluates a loopback version of the sequence for errors. The sequence of test symbols have a data pattern, and are transmitted, as configured by the registers. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

摘要:
A computer system that detects for a PCI Express compliant endpoint device is described. Specifically, the computer system clocks transmit and receive circuits at a first frequency and initiates a training sequence. If the endpoint device successfully trains at the first frequency, the endpoint device is PCI Express compliant. Otherwise, the computer system initiates another training sequence at a second frequency.
