Hi all,
 
I performed signal integrity simualtions for PCI, GMII/RGMII, DDR & QDR 
interfaces. I simulated these interfaces on non-lossy transmission lines. I am 
doing timing analysis for these interfaces. I would like to know what 
parameters I should consider for timing analysis and the method the others 
following in tying their SI simulation results to timing analysis.
 
What I am following is that I take valid times I measured at Vih levels (at 
receivers) along with the clock periods I got from the SI simulations and 
perform timing analysis with reference to ideal valid times and ideal clock 
periods. Then I will be considering parameters like pcb delays, cross talk 
information on the simulated timings thus attempting to arrive at worst case 
margins for set up hold times at the receivers. 
 
Thanks, 
Murthy

David,
SerDes is typically referred to PMA layer of IEEE8023.3 that is re-sync and
serial/parallel (TBI) conversion,
after that on parallel side there is PCS layer in which 10B/8B decoding is
performed and Autonegotiation (if needed) obtaining the decoded GMII
interface (8 data bit + 2 controls).
usually PHY device include PCS giving out GMII interface while serdes only
PMA giving out TBI.
So if your serdes includes 8b/10B you are only missing Autonegotiation.

Hello,

I want to drive GigabitEthernet on fiber optics.

Parallel data format is RGMII.

Does anyone know, if I can use simple SerDes supporting RTBI format (having
8 to 10 bit encoding), instead of a Gigabit Ethernet PHY device ?

Are RTBI and RGMII compatable ?
If I use Serdes what functionality I would not be able to support ?

Thanks.
