Next-Gen High-Speed Transceiver IP Core Unveiled: Power, Performance, and Protocol Versatility in One Core

Jul. 28, 2025 – 

 

A new generation of ultra-integrated transceiver IP is now available to the market, purpose-built for today’s demanding high-speed I/O needs in data-centric SoCs. This IP Core offers multi-protocol support, PCIe Gen1, Gen2, Gen3 (2.5–8.0 Gbps), SATA Gen1, Gen2, Gen3 (1.5–6.0 Gbps), USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5.0 Gbps), and 10 Gbps chip-to-chip links — in a single, compact slice.

Crafted using advanced 28nm Fully Depleted SOI technology, the transceiver is optimized for both performance and power efficiency. It delivers:

  • Support for up to 4 serdes lanes, enabling scalable I/O bandwidth

  • Advanced equalization and eye-monitoring for signal integrity at higher speeds

  • Embedded impedance calibration, PLL, and adaptive TX/RX tuning

With built-in self-test modes, JTAG access, and support for USB3.1 Type-C connectivity, the design seamlessly integrates into diverse system architectures while simplifying validation and manufacturing test flows.

This IP is a convergence of versatility and engineering precision,” said a lead architect of the design. “We’re bringing high-speed connectivity, configurability, and reliability into a single platform — without locking developers into one protocol.”

Thanks to DC-balanced encoding, integrated FIR equalizers, and low-voltage operation, the solution enables robust signal transmission over copper or optical media, across backplanes, or directly chip-to-chip.

Developers can expect enhanced interoperability and lower total cost of ownership by consolidating multiple PHYs into one IP. It’s an ideal choice for high-performance SoCs, networking ASICs, and storage controllers demanding multi-standard, compact SerDes.

Availability: This IP core is silicon-proven and already deployed in production-grade SoCs. It is offered under a white-box licensing model — with no royalties — and includes full source code delivery along with unrestricted modification rights.
