[小结] Electrical Idle (EI) in PCIE 6.1

1.1 Electrical Idle (EI) 8.4.5.5 电气空闲

in EI:

• TX:

  • V(TX’s D+) = V(TX’s D1)
  • stable Voltage
  • a low or high impedance mode

• RX:

  • low impedance common mode
  • differential Receiver termination values

usage

• primarily used in power saving and inactive states (e.g., Disabled)

entry

• TX: the required number of EIOSs
• TX: valid Electrical Idle within T_{TX-IDLE-SET-TO-IDLE}

remain

• TX:
  • TTX-IDLE-MIN(min:20ns)
• RX:
  • arm its Electrical Idle Exit detector within TTX-IDLE-MIN(min:20ns)

EXIT

• TX:
  • valid differential signal level meeting the output r
