16 High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)

The MPC8544E features two serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interfaces to be used for high-speed serial

interconnect applications.The SerDes1 dedicated for PCI Express data transfers. The SerDes2 can be used

for PCI Express and/or SGMII application. 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 44 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.
