    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses including a Physical layer (PHY) block coupled to a Media Access Control layer (MAC) block via a PHY/MAC interface. Each of the PHY and MAC blocks include a plurality of Physical Interface for PCI Express (PIPE) registers. The PHY/MAC interface includes a low pin count PIPE interface comprising a small set of wires coupled between the PHY block and the MAC block. The MAC block is configured to multiplex command, address, and data over the low pin count PIPE interface to access the plurality of PHY PIPE registers, and the PHY block is configured to multiplex command, address, and data over the low pin count PIPE interface to access the plurality of MAC PIPE registers. The PHY block may also be selectively configurable to implement a PIPE architecture to operate in a PIPE mode and a serialization and deserialization (SERDES) architecture to operate in a SERDES mode.

    Abstract: A supersequence is sent to another device to indicate a transition from a partial width link state to another active link state. The supersequence is to be sent over one or more lanes of a link and is to include at least a portion of a start of data sequence (SDS) to include a predefined sequence and a byte number value. The byte number value is to indicate a number of bytes measured from a preceding control interval.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses including a Physical layer (PHY) block coupled to a Media Access Control layer (MAC) block via a PHY/MAC interface. Each of the PHY and MAC blocks include a plurality of Physical Interface for PCI Express (PIPE) registers. The PHY/MAC interface includes a low pin count PIPE interface comprising a small set of wires coupled between the PHY block and the MAC block. The low pin count PIPE interface is configured to transfer register commands between the PHY and MAC blocks over the small set of wires in a time-multiplexed manner to support read and write access of the PHY and MAC PIPE registers. The PHY block may also be selectively configurable to implement a PIPE architecture when operating in a PIPE mode and a serialization and deserialization (SERDES) architecture when operating in a SERDES mode.

    Abstract: An exit pattern is sent to initiate exit from a partial width state, where only a portion of the available lanes of a link are used to transmit data and the remaining lanes are idle. The exit pattern is sent on the idle lanes, the exit pattern including an electrical ordered set (EOS), one or more fast training sequences (FTS), a start of data sequence (SDS), and a partial fast training sequence (FTSp). The SDS includes a byte number field to indicate a number of a bytes measured from a previous control interval of the link, and an end of the SDS is sent to coincide with a clean flit boundary on the active lanes. The partial width state is exited based on the exit pattern and data is sent on all available lanes following the exit from the partial width state.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes an agent to facilitate communication in one of two or more modes, where a first of the two or more modes involves communication over links including a first number of lanes and a second of the two or more modes involves communication over links including a second number of lanes, and the first number is greater than the second number. The apparatus further includes a memory including data to indicate which of the two or modes applies to a particular link and a multiplexer to reverse lane numbering on links including either the first number of lanes or the second number of lanes.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses involve a PHY coupled to a MAC. The PHY can include a drift buffer coupled to an output of a receiver and a bypass branch coupled to the output of the receiver. The PHY includes a clocking multiplexer that includes a first clock input coupled to a recovered clock of the PHY and a second clock input coupled to a p-clock of the MAC; and a clock output configured to output one of the recovered clock or the p-clock based on a selection input value. The PHY includes a bypass multiplexer that includes a first data input coupled to an output of a drift buffer and a second data input coupled to the bypass branch; and a data output configured to output one of the output of the drift buffer or data from the bypass branch based on the section input value of the clocking multiplexer.
