I am not able to detect Electrical Idle signal in simulation while using Intel® Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY How to detect it ?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Thanks for your clarification. For your information, pipe_rx_elecidle only work for PCIe configuration. For non-PCIe mode, the signal would not work. In other words, the pipe_rx_elecidle will not assert in non-PCIe mode when the tx_pma_force_elecidle is asserted. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regarding your inquiry on how to detect elecidle signal in simulation for non PCIe mode ie USB 3.0, sorry as I do not have much insight into this and could not further comment on this. If you would like to further engage our Design Service partner for USB 3 related IP or design in A10 devices, you may try further look into the following link to see if it helpful. Note that there will be charges.
