Objective data sheet
1. General description
The PX1041A is a high-performance, low-power, four-lane PCI Express electrical
PHYsical layer (PHY) that handles the low level PCI Express protocol and signaling. The
PX1041A PCI Express PHY is compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification,
Rev. 1.0a, and Rev. 1.1. The PX1041A includes features such as Clock and Data
Recovery (CDR), data serialization and de-serialization, 8b/10b encoding, analog buffers,
elastic buffer and receiver detection, and provides superior performance to the Media
Access Control (MAC) layer devices.
The PX1041A is a 2.5 Gbit/s PCI Express PHY with 4 × 8-bit data PXPIPE interface. Its
PXPIPE interface is a superset of the PHY Interface for the PCI Express (PIPE)
specification, enhanced and adapted for off-chip applications with the introduction of a
source synchronous clock for transmit and receive data. The 4 × 8-bit data interface
operates at 250 MHz with SSTL Class I signaling at 2.5 V or 1.8 V. The SSTL signaling is
compatible with the I/O interfaces available in FPGA products.
The PX1041A PCI Express PHY supports advanced power management functions. The
PX1041AI is for the industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C).

7.2 Pin description
The PHY input and output pins are described in Table 4 to Table 11. Note that input and
output is defined from the perspective of the PHY. Thus a signal on a pin described as an
output is driven by the PHY and a signal on a pin described as an input is received by the
PHY. A basic description of each pin is provided.
Signals named Lx_*, designate the per-lane signal where x = (0 to 3). For example,
Lx_RX_P expands to the following signals L0_RX_P, L1_RX_P, L2_RX_P and L3_RX_P.
All SSTL signaling is 2.5 V or 1.8 V selectable.

8. Functional description
The main function of the PHY is to convert digital data into electrical signals and vice
versa. The PCI Express PHY handles the low level PCI Express protocol and signaling.
The PX1041A PCI Express PHY consists of the Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS), a
Serializer and De-serializer (SerDes) and a set of I/Os (pads). The PCI Express PHY
handles the low level PCI Express protocol and signaling. This includes features such as
Clock and Data Recovery (CDR), data serialization and de-serialization, 8b/10b encoding,
analog buffers, elastic buffer and receiver detection.
The PXPIPE interface between the MAC and PX1041A is a superset of the PHY Interface
for the PCI Express (PIPE) specification. The following feature have been added:
• Source synchronous clocks for RX and TX data to simplify timing closure.
The 4 × 8-bit data width PXPIPE interface operates at 250 MHz with SSTL Class I
signaling at 2.5 V or 1.8 V. PX1041A does not integrate SSTL termination resistors inside
the IC.
Each PCI Express lane consists of a differential input pair and a differential output pair.
The data rate per lane is 2.5 Gbit/s.
8.1 Receiving data
Incoming data enters the chip at the RX interface. The receiver converts these signals
from small-amplitude differential signals into rail-to-rail digital signals. The carrier detect
circuit detects whether data is present on the line and passes this information through to
the SerDes and PCS.
If a valid stream of data is present the Clock and Data Recovery unit (CDR) first recovers
the clock from the data and then uses this clock for re-timing the data (i.e., recovering the
data).
The de-serializer or Serial-to-Parallel converter (S2P) de-serializes this data into 10-bits
parallel data.
Since the S2P has no knowledge about the data, the word alignment is still random. This
is fixed in the digital domain by the PCS block. It first detects a 10-bit comma character
(K28.5) from the random data stream and aligns the bits. Then it converts the 10-bit raw

data into 8-bit words using 8b/10b decoding. An elastic buffer and FIFO brings the
resulting data to the right clock domain, which is the RX source synchronous clock
domain.
8.2 Transmitting data
When the PHY transmits, it receives 4 × 8-bit data from the MAC. This data is encoded
using an 8b/10b encoding algorithm. The 2 bits overhead of the 8b/10b encoding ensures
the serial data will be DC-balanced and has a sufficient 0-to-1 and 1-to-0 transition density
for clock recovery at the receiver side.
The serializer or Parallel-to-Serial converter (P2S) serializes the 10 bits data into serial
data streams. These data streams are latched into the transmitter, where they are
converted into small amplitude differential signals. The transmitter has built-in
de-emphasis for a larger eye opening at the receiver side.
The PLL has a sufficiently high bandwidth to handle a 100 MHz reference clock with a
30 kHz to 33 kHz spread spectrum modulation.
8.3 Clocking
There are three clock signals used by the PX1041A:
• REFCLK is a 100 MHz external reference clock that the PHY uses to generate the
250 MHz data clock and the internal bit rate clock. This clock may have
30 kHz to 33 kHz Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC) modulation.
• TXCLK is a reference clock that the PHY uses to clock the TXDATA and command.
This source synchronous clock is provided by the MAC. The PHY expects that the
rising edge of TXCLK is centered to the data. The TXCLK has to be the same
frequency as RXCLK.
• RXCLK is a source synchronous clock provided by the PHY. The RXDATA and status
signals are synchronous to this clock. The PHY aligns the rising edge of RXCLK to
the center of the data. RXCLK may be used by the MAC to clock its internal logic.
8.4 Reset
The PHY must be held in reset until power and REFCLK are stable. It takes the PHY
64 µs maximum to stabilize its internal clocks. RXCLK frequency is the same as REFCLK
frequency, 100 MHz, during this time. The PHY de-asserts PHYSTATUS when internal
clocks are stable.
The PIPE specification recommends that while RESET_N is asserted, the MAC should
have RXDET_LOOPB de-asserted, TXIDLE asserted, TXCOMP de-asserted, RXPOL
de-asserted and power state P1. The MAC can also assert a reset if it receives a physical
layer reset packet.

8.5 Power management
The power management signals allow the PHY to manage power consumption. The PHY
meets all timing constraints provided in the PCI Express base specification regarding
clock recovery and link training for the various power states.
Four power states are defined: P0, P0s, P1 and P2. P0 state is the normal operational
state for the PHY. When directed from P0 to a lower power state, the PHY can
immediately take whatever power saving measures are appropriate.
In states P0, P0s and P1, the PHY keeps internal clocks operational. For all state
transitions between these three states, the PHY indicates successful transition into the
designated power state by a single cycle assertion of PHYSTATUS. For all power state
transitions, the MAC must not begin any operational sequences or further power state
transitions until the PHY has indicated that the initial state transition is completed. TXIDLE
should be asserted while in power states P0s and P1.
• P0 state: All internal clocks in the PHY are operational. P0 is the only state where the
PHY transmits and receives PCI Express signaling. P0 is the appropriate PHY power
management state for most states in the Link Training and Status State Machine
(LTSSM). Exceptions are listed for each lower power PHY state (P0s, P1 and P2).
• P0s state: The MAC will move the PHY to this state only when the transmit channel is
idle.
While the PHY is in either P0 or P0s power states, if the receiver is detecting an electrical
idle, the receiver portion of the PHY can take appropriate power saving measures. Note
that the PHY is capable of obtaining bit and symbol lock within the PHY-specified time
(N_FTS with or without common clock) upon resumption of signaling on the receive
channel. This requirement only applies if the receiver had previously been bit and symbol
locked while in P0 or P0s states.
• P1 state: Selected internal clocks in the PHY are turned off. The MAC will move the
PHY to this state only when both transmit and receive channels are idle. The PHY
indicates a successful entry into P1 (by asserting PHYSTATUS). P1 should be used
for the disabled state, all detect states, and L1.idle state of the Link Training and
Status State Machine (LTSSM).
• P2 state: PHY will enter P2 and power down the TX and the RX PLLs. RXCLK is
turned off and the PHY interface is in asynchronous mode. The PHY still uses main
power and cannot receive or transmit beacon.

8.6 Receiver detect
When the PHY is in the P1 state, it can be instructed to perform a receiver detection
operation to determine if there is a receiver at the other end of the link. Basic operation of
receiver detection is that the MAC requests the PHY to do a receiver detect sequence by
asserting RXDET_LOOPB. When the PHY has completed the receiver detect sequence,
each lane drives its own RXSTATUS signals to the value of 011b if a receiver is present, or
to 000b if there is no receiver. Then the PHY will assert PHYSTATUS to indicate the
completion of receiver detect operation. The MAC uses the rising edge of PHYSTATUS to
sample each lane’s RXSTATUS signals and then de-asserts RXDET_LOOPB. A few
cycles after the RXDET_LOOPB de-asserts, the PHYSTATUS is also de-asserted.

8.7 Loopback
The PHY supports an internal loopback from the PCI Express receiver to the transmitter
of every lane with the following characteristics.
The PHY retransmits each 10-bit data and control symbol exactly as received, without
applying scrambling or descrambling or disparity corrections, with the following rules:
• If a received 10-bit symbol is determined to be an invalid 10-bit code (i.e., no legal
translation to a control or data value possible), the PHY still retransmits the symbol
exactly as it was received.
• If a SKP ordered set retransmission requires adding a SKP symbol to accommodate
timing tolerance correction, any disparity can be chosen for the SKP symbol.
• The PHY continues to provide the received data on the PXPIPE interface, behaving
exactly like normal data reception.
• The PHY transitions from normal transmission of data from the PXPIPE interface to
looping back the received data at a symbol boundary.
The PHY begins to loopback data when the MAC asserts RXDET_LOOPB while doing
normal data transmission. The PHY stops transmitting data from the PXPIPE interface,
and begins to loopback received symbols. While doing loopback, the PHY continues to
present received data on the PXPIPE interface.
The PHY stops looping back received data when the MAC de-asserts RXDET_LOOPB.
Transmission of data on the parallel interface begins immediately.
Since RXDET_LOOPB is a share signal, all lanes enter and exit the loopback mode at the
same time.
The timing diagram of Figure 6 shows example timing for beginning loopback. In this
example, the receiver is receiving a repeating stream of bytes, Rx-a through Rx-z.
Similarly, the MAC is causing the PHY to transmit a repeating stream of bytes Tx-a
through Tx-z. When the MAC asserts RXDET_LOOPB to the PHY, the PHY begins to
loopback the received data to the differential TX_P and TX_N lines.

Remark: Beacon transmission and

The MAC can disable one or more lanes which are not in use. The MAC asserts both
Lx_TXIDLE and Lx_TXCOMP at the same time to instruct the PHY to turn off the
corresponding lane x. The disabled lane(s) of the PHY will ignore all other signals from the
MAC, except RESET_N. The MAC will ignore any signals from the disabled lane(s).
When the MAC wants to turn on the disabled lane(s), it must reset the whole PHY as
described in Section 8.4.
8.9 Clock tolerance compensation
The PHY receiver contains an elastic buffer used to compensate for differences in
frequencies between bit rates at the two ends of a link. The elastic buffer is capable of
holding at least seven symbols to handle worst case differences (600 ppm) in frequency
and worst case intervals between SKP ordered-sets. The PHY is responsible for inserting
or removing SKP symbols in the received data stream to avoid elastic buffer overflow or
underflow. The PHY monitors the receive data stream, and when a Skip ordered-set is
received, the PHY can add or remove one SKP symbol from each SKP ordered-set as
appropriate to manage its elastic buffer. Whenever a SKP symbol is added or removed,
the PHY will signal this to the MAC using the RXSTATUS signals. These signals have a
non-zero value for one clock cycle and indicate whether a SKP symbol was added or
removed from the received SKP ordered-set. RXSTATUS should be asserted during the
clock cycle when the COM symbol of the SKP ordered-set is moved across the parallel
interface. If the removal of a SKP symbol causes no SKP symbols to be transferred across
the parallel interface, then RXSTATUS is asserted at the same time that the COM symbol
(that was part of the received skip ordered-set) is transmitted across the parallel interface.
Figure 9 shows a sequence where the PHY inserted a SKP symbol in the data stream.
Figure 10 shows a sequence where the PHY removed a SKP symbol from a SKP
ordered-set.

Because of higher level error detection mechanisms (like CRC) built into the data link layer
of PCI Express, there is no need to specifically identify symbols with errors. However,
timing information about when the error occurred in the data stream is important. When a
receive error occurs, the appropriate error code is asserted for one clock cycle at the point
closest to where the error actually occurred.

There are four error conditions that can be encoded on the RXSTATUS signals. If more
than one error should happen to occur on a received byte, the errors are signaled with the
priority shown below.
1. 8b/10b decode error
2. Elastic buffer overflow
3. Elastic buffer underflow
4. Disparity error
8.10.1 8b/10b decode errors
For a detected 8b/10b decode error, the PHY places an EDB (EnD Bad) symbol in the
data stream in place of the bad byte, and encodes RXSTATUS with a decode error during
the clock cycle when the effected byte is transferred across the parallel interface. In
Figure 11 the receiver is receiving a stream of bytes Rx-a through Rx-z, and byte Rx-c has
an 8b/10b decode error. In place of that byte, the PHY places an EDB on the parallel
interface, and sets RXSTATUS to the 8b/10b decode error code. Note that a byte that
cannot be decoded may also have bad disparity, but the 8b/10b error has precedence.

For a detected disparity error, the PHY asserts RXSTATUS with the disparity error code

the assertion of RXSTATUS.

8.10.3 Elastic buffer
For elastic buffer errors, an underflow is signaled during the clock cycle when the spurious
symbol is moved across the parallel interface. The symbol moved across the interface is
the EDB symbol. In the timing diagram Figure 13, the PHY is receiving a repeating set of
symbols Rx-a through Rx-z. The elastic buffer underflow causing the EDB symbol to be
inserted between the Rx-c and Rx-d symbols. The PHY drives RXSTATUS to indicate
buffer underflow during the clock cycle when the EDB is presented on the parallel
interface.

For an elastic buffer overflow, the overflow is signaled during the clock cycle where the

buffer overflows causing the symbol Rx-d to be discarded. The PHY drives RXSTATUS to
indicate buffer overflow during the clock cycle when Rx-d would have appeared on the
parallel interface.

Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) or IEEE 1149.1 is a standard, specifying how to control

commonly known as ‘JTAG Boundary Scan’.
This standard defines a 5-pin serial protocol for accessing and controlling the signal levels
on the pins of a digital circuit, and has some extensions for testing the internal circuitry on
the chip itself, which is beyond the scope of this data sheet.
Access to the JTAG interface is provided to the customer for the sole purpose of using
boundary scan for interconnect test verification between other compliant devices that may
reside on the board. Using JTAG for purposes other than boundary scan may produce
undesired effects.

When ENCODEN pin is set to HIGH, the PHY expects encoded commands to activate the
required function. Any activity on the corresponding pins will be ignored.
Table 15 summarizes these optional functions.

The principle of the in-band signaling is based on the use of some invalid 8b/10b special
character symbols as encoded commands. Table 16 summarizes the encoded
commands, and Table 17 is for the status signals.

The PHY has priority to choose the physical lane 0 as the master lane, unless the lane
has been turned off. The encoded commands and status signals should go to L0_TXDATA
and L0_RXDATA, and affect all four lanes. If lane 0 is turned off, then the next highest
physical lane becomes the master lane.
8.14.1 Lane-to-lane deskew
Lane-to-lane deskewing is required by PCIe specification, and is typically implemented in
the MAC. When the PHY offers the feature of receiver lane-to-lane deskew, the MAC
needs to instruct the PHY to start the lane deskew function when it is needed. The PHY
will respond with some status signals.
With the side-band signal, the PHY will detect the rising edge of the DESKEW_START to
start the deskew operation. The PHY responds back by asserting DESKEW_VALID for a
single cycle if deskew is completed and passed. The MAC needs a built-in counter to

PX1041A
NXP Semiconductors
PCI Express stand-alone X4 PHY
check for the assertion of DESKEW_VALID signal, and if the MAC does not see this signal
go valid within the 32 RXCLK cycles time-out period, it considers the deskew failed and
can reinstruct the PHY to perform deskew by deasserting and reasserting
DESKEW_START.
Using in-band signals, the MAC send encoded lane-to-lane deskew command to PHY,
and the PHY will respond with encoded status signal. if deskewing is successful, the MAC
then send the PHY the special COMMA with bit 0 = 0, shown at Table 16, to stop the
deskew. If deskewing fails, the MAC should first stop the deskew, then may resend the
encoded deskew start command to restart the deskew process.
The PHY internally arbitrates to decide the master lane to use for deskewing. All lanes
that are turned off by the MAC, do not take part in arbitration or deskewing. The PHY has
priority to choose lane 0 as the master lane, unless the lane has been turned off. Even
when lane reversal is enabled and physical lane 0 becomes logical lane 3, physical lane 0
still has priority for becoming the master. When the PHY is configured to perform
lane-to-lane deskew the information about SKP insertion and removal from the PHY
should be ignored by the MAC. This is because the deskewing is done by the PHY and
hence the skip insertion and removal information is not required. All other information like
decode error, disparity error, FIFO overflow, FIFO underflow, and OK are valid.
8.14.2 Lane reversal
Lane reversal for multi-lane implementation is particularly useful to ease PCB layout. It
swaps the physical lane0, lane1, lane2, and lane3 to the logical lane3, lane2, lane1, and
lane0, respectively. This feature is typically performed in the MAC. PX1041A has this
optional built-in feature. It is required to have a signal from the MAC to the PHY to enable
it.
When the MAC asserts LANEREVERS, the PHY will enable the feature. Alternatively, the
MAC can send the encoded command listed in Table 16 to enable this feature.
8.14.3 PXPIPE-side parallel loopback
The function of PXPIPE-side parallel loopback is mainly for test debugging purposes to
check the PCB connection between the MAC and the PHY. The PHY will loopback any
data that is present on the Lx_TXDATA and Lx_TXDATAK lines to the corresponding
Lx_RXDATA and Lx_RXDATAK.
PIPELOOPB being HIGH will enable the feature, or the MAC may use the encoded
commands in Table 16. This feature requires the PHY to be in the P1 state.
8.14.4 PIPE Mode
By default, the interface between the MAC and PX1041A is PXPIPE, which has source
synchronous clocks for transmit and receive data. The PIPE mode, which uses a single
clock, RXCLK, for both transmit and receive, is selectable by setting the PIPESEL pin
HIGH.

13. Soldering
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
13.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
13.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus PbSn soldering
13.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

13.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 19) than a PbSn process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 22 and 23

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 19.
