High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)

The MPC8610 features two Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) interfaces to be used for high-speed serial interconnect

applications. The SerDes1 interface is dedicated for PCI Express (x1/x2/x4) data transfers. The SerDes2 interface is dedicated

for PCI Express (x1/x2/x4/x8) data transfers.

This section describes the common portion of SerDes DC electrical specifications, which is the DC requirement for SerDes

reference clocks. The SerDes data lane’s transmitter and receiver reference circuits are also shown.

Signal Terms Definition

The SerDes utilizes differential signaling to transfer data across the serial link. This section defines terms used in the description

and specification of differential signals.

Figure 29 shows how the signals are defined. For illustration purpose, only one SerDes lane is used for description. The figure

shows waveform for either a transmitter output (SDn_TX and SDn_TX) or a receiver input (SDn_RX and SDn_RX). Each

signal swings between A volts and B volts where A > B.

Using this waveform, the definitions are as follows. To simplify illustration, the following definitions assume that the SerDes

transmitter and receiver operate in a fully symmetrical differential signaling environment.

Single-ended swing

The transmitter output signals and the receiver input signals SDn_TX, SDn_TX, SDn_RX, and SDn_RX each have a

peak-to-peak swing of A – B volts. This is also referred as each signal wire’s single-ended swing.

Differential output voltage, VOD (or differential output swing):

The differential output voltage (or swing) of the transmitter, VOD, is defined as the difference of the two complimentary

output voltages: VSDn_TX – VSDn_TX. The VOD value can be either positive or negative.
