Serial PHY (Physical Interface)

The ARM® Velocity™ Serial PHY product family of Artisan® Physical IP addresses many existing and emerging interface standards with scalable and silicon-efficient products. This comprehensive family of products covers a wide range of standards from 1.06 Gbps to 10+ Gbps with the smallest footprints in the industry.

This 5 Gbps eye diagram from the transmit output of an ARM PCI Express Gen 2 PHY displays the superior jitter performance of the PHY

The benefits of these highly integrated PHY solutions include differentiated performance, simplified interoperability and extensive built-in testability. ARM minimizes risk with our silicon verification/interoperability program, resulting in highly reliable products which are manufacturable in leading CMOS processes.  Browse the ARM Physical IP Product Catalog to view the Velocity serial PHYs and other physical IP products available for a particular foundry and process. The applications and features of the serial PHYs are listed below.
