2.5.1 Transmitter (Tx) Model

The Tx model has a 3-tap Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE)

  • Fixed tap settings are available as specified in the PCIe3.0 specification
  • Backchannel support is available
    • 1st tap is based on pre-cursor ISI delay error by 1UI
    • 2nd tap ensures that sum of all taps is equal to1
    • 3rd tap is set by back channel. The tap increment/decrement is with resolution of 32, steps from 0 to1.
    • self_adapt_ffe – This enables self adaptation of the FFE, and writes the optimized coefficients in the file self_adapt_ffe_coeff.txt. This parameter is to be used to mimic backchannel functionality.
Note: Formal backchannel capability is not currently supported in the IBIS specification.
