1 USB 3.0 PIPE PHY
1.1 USB 3.0 PHY
USB 3.0 PHY = PIPE wrapper + PCS + SerDes
1.2 SS PHY电流源
CML电流源串联在NMOS管的Source中，电流是16 mA，所以差分电压摆幅是16 mA x (50 // 50) x 2 = 800 mV。
1.3 PIPE PHY数据线宽度
DWC_usb3_databook_2.50a.pdf
USB 3.0 PIPE PHY（SerDes = PCIe Gen2）的数据线宽度是可以设置的，最大宽度分别是Tx 32bit、Rx 32bit，需要根据PIPE PHY的接口频率来设置数据线宽度。如果PIPE PHY运行在128MHz，那么Tx和Rx的数据线宽度都是32bit；如果PIPE PHY运行在256MHz，那么Tx和Rx的数据线宽度都是16bit。
USB 3.0 Gen1的速度5Gbps，是指Tx和Rx的速率都是5Gbps（128MHz x 4bytes或者256MHz x 2bytes）。
USB 3.0 Gen1的速度5Gbps（625MB/s），协议开销（overhead）占用了20%带宽，所以实际有效速度是500MB/s。
USB 3.0 Tx或者Rx的传输速率虽然是5Gbps，但实际上数字信号的方波频率是2.5GHz（传输2个bit对应一个方波）。
Intel APL (Gen9, A39X0) 8-port MPH xHCI的物理层名字是ModPHY（High Speed I/O Modular Physical Layer for Intel USB 3.0）。
1.4 Lane polarity reversal
USB SS SerDes支持差分信号极性反转。
You can swap the SSTX and SSRX pairs but not the USB2 (D+/D-) pair. This is because, during SuperSpeed enumeration, certain training sequences (called TSEQs) are sent and the D10.2 symbol in this is used to detect if lane polarity inversion is done (refer to section 6.4.2 of the USB 3.0 spec). However, such lane inversion detection is not done in USB 2.0 enumeration.
1.5 Rx.Detect
Link层LTSSM会周期性驱动PHY的PIN TxDetectRx到高，让PHY做Receiver Detection。Receiver的SSRX+/-上各有一个等效的50欧姆下拉电阻，并联形成25欧姆电阻。
设备连接前的充放电时间常数T = R_Detect * C_Parasitic
设备连接后的充放电时间常数T = (R_Detect + R_Term) * (C_AC + C_Parasitic)
Probe SSTX+, you can see the 500mV Rx.Detect pulse without connecting device, its period is 13.75ms (72Hz), pulse width is less than 40us.
1.6 Redriver Rx.Detect
If Redriver detects receiver on its transmitter, then it assumes there is a valid termination. In this case, Redriver turns on its own Rx 50-ohm termination, this signals the xHCI to start Rx.Detect. Redriver does not include LTSSM, but Retimer includes LTSSM.
1.7 Electrical Idle
Electrical Idle means the differential voltage applied to the link is 0mV (no signaling). If there is 0mV differential, then the Rx cannot recover a clock and bit/symbol lock is lost.
In Logical Idle the Rx maintains bit/symbol lock because the Tx will send IDLE symbols. The IDLE symbols do not contain data and are thrown away by the Rx.
1.8 SerDes眼图
SerDes接收端眼图闭合的原因，不是由于高频的损耗太大，而是由于高低频的损耗差异过大，导致码间干扰严重，因此不能张开眼睛。

SS.Disabled - 产生中断
SS.Inactive - 产生中断
Compliance Mode - 不产生中断

2.2 Tx - Compliance mode
CP0 is sent by DUT Tx+/- firstly, when trigger device sends Ping.LFPS to DUT Rx+, then DUT will toggle CP1/CP7/CP8 to oscilloscope via Tx+/-.
CP1: SSC，调制三角波（30～33kHz）
Enter compliance mode :
1) Plug in USB host cable w/o fixture connected
2) Disable any power management features:
a. echo on > /sys/bus/usb/usb1/power/control
b. echo on > /sys/bus/usb/usb2/power/control
3) /system/bin/r 0xA800430 0x10340
4) Plug in the USB test fixture
5) Compliance pattern is generated on the scope
2.3 Rx - Loopback mode

USB BH reset：Bigger Hammer or Brad Hosler，表示warm reset；you may be confused why the USB 3.0 spec calls the same type of reset "warm reset" in some places and "BH reset" in other places. "BH" reset is supposed to stand for "Big Hammer" reset, but it also stands for "Brad Hosler". Brad died shortly after the USB 3.0 bus specification was started, and they decided to name the reset after him. The suggestion was made shortly before the spec was finalized, so the wording is a bit inconsistent.
