Today's and tomorrow's processors and I/O devices are demanding much higher I/O bandwidth than PCI 2.3 or PCI-X can deliver and it is time to engineer a new generation of PCI to serve as a standard I/O bus for future generation platforms. According to this demand the PCI SIG proposed PCI Express. This paper describes about the design of PCI Express Behavioral Model. A Behavioral Model enables the designers to test whether the design specifications are met by performing computer simulations rather than experiments on the physical prototype. In the proposed Model, we can verify whether our design concept satisfies the PCI Express functional protocol.

In this paper, we propose design of PCI Express Physical Layer for IP. The proposed design is compatible with PCI Express Base specification Revision 1.0a. and supports only single Lane. The best feature of this design is that Physical Layer includes Power Management block. Therefor, the entire design of PCI Express component is simplified. In the near future, as optimizing this design and extending Lane, we will redesign Physical Layer.

In this paper, we propose a novel PCI bus based parallel fuzzy inference system for transferring and inferencing the large volumes of fuzzy data in high speed. For this, the PCI 9050 interface chip is used to connect a local bus design as a PCI target core using FPGA to the PCI bus. We design and implement the PCI target core by using VHDL to be processed in parallel by considering the points of parallelyzing each element of the membership functions and each block of the condition and/or consequent parts. The proposed system can be used in a system requiring a rapid inference time in a real-time system or pattern recognition on the large volume of satellite images that have many inference variables in the condition and consequent parts.

When a PCI 2.2 bus master requests data using Memory Read command, a target device may hold PCI bus without data to be transferred for long time because a target device needs time to prepare data infernally. Because the usage efficiency of the PCI bus and the data transfer efficiency are decreased due to this situation, the PCI specification recommends to use the Delayed Transaction mechanism to improve the system performance. But the mechanism cann't fully improve performance because a target device doesn't know the exact size of prefetched data. In the previous work, we propose a new method called Prefetch Request when a bus master intends to read data from the target device. In this paper, we design PCI 2.2 controller and local device that support the proposed method. The designed PCI 2.2 controller has simple local interface and it is used to convert the PCI protocol into the local protocol. So the typical users, who don't know the PCI protocol, can easily design the PCI target device using the proposed PCI controller. We propose the basic behavioral verification, hardware design verification, and random test verification to verify the designed hardware. We also build the test bench and define assembler instructions. And we propose random testing environment, which consist of reference model, random generator ,and compare engine, to efficiently verify corner case. This verification environment is excellent to find error which is not detected by general test vector. Also, the simulation under the proposed test environment shows that the proposed method has the higher data transfer efficiency than the Delayed Transaction about $9\%$.

본 논문에서는 차세대 통신 플랫폼을 위한 PCI 익스프레스의 전송계층과 데이터 연결계층의 모든 기능을 지원하는 PCI 익스프레스 컨트롤러를 설계하였다. 설계된 컨트롤러를 효과적으로 제어하기 위해 8051 마이크로프로세서를 이용하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 PCI 익스프레스 컨트롤러와 8051 마이크로프로세서의 통합 검증을 위한 방법으로 벡터 생성 부분, 테스트 벤치, 그리고 메모리로 구성된 테스트 벤치를 하나의 가상 마이크로프로세서로 가정하였다. 그리고 PCI 익스프레스의 모든 프로토콜을 지원할 수 있는 어셈블리 수준의 명령어들을 테스트 벤치에 적용되도록 하였다. 특히 일반적인 기본 동작 검증과 설계 기반 검증에서 찾지 못한 특수 경우의 에러를 찾기 위한 검증을 위해 랜덤 검증 환경 및 테스트 파라미터를 정의 하였다. 제안된 검증 환경과 명령어를 통해 설계된 PCI 컨트롤러의 검증 결과 랜덤 테스트 검증을 통해 효과적으로 오류를 찾을 수 있었다.

The performance of peripheral devices is improving rapidly to meet the needs of users for multimedia data. Therefore, the peripheral interface with wide bandwidth and high transmission rate becomes necessary to handle large amounts of data in real time for multiple high-performance devices. PCI Express is a fast serial interface with the use of packets that are compatible with previous PCI and PCI-X. In this paper, we design and verify general peripheral interface using serial link. It includes two kinds of traffic class (TC) labels which are mapped to virtual channels (VC). The design adopts TC/VC mapping and the scheme of arbitration by priority. The design uses a packet which can be transmitted through up to four transmission lanes. The design of general peripheral interface is described in Verilog HDL and verified using ModelSim. For FPGA verification, Xilinx ISE and SPARTAN XC3S400 are used.We used Synopsys Design Compiler as a synthesis tool and the used library was MagnaChip 0.35um technology.

In this paper, a verification method and model for a PCI-Express device are described. PCI-Express technology is one of new I/O interconnection technologies which is intended to replace conventional PCI based technology, and is introduced by PCI-SIG in 2002. For a fast prototyping, a verification suite which includes a behavioral model and stimuli is needed before actual design is finished. And also it should be simple in structure and accurate enough to verify the design. In this paper, an Early Verification Suite (EVS) which complies with PCI-Express protocol is developed and tested.

PCI Express is high-speed point-to-point serial protocol, the system is designed by analysing loss and jitter through Eye Diagram. It is necessarily analyzing high speed serial signals when the PCI Express Gen3 which has 8Gbps physical signal speed is designed especially. This paper deals with topology extraction, channel analysis, extraction of s-parameters and system signal integrity simulation within transceiver buffer models through PCI Express Gen3 server connecting switch system design. Optimal parameters of transmitter buffer equalizer are found through solution space simulation of de-emphasis and preshoot parameters to compensate channel loss.
