Bits
Field
Description
[15]
PME_status
When set to 1, indicates that the function would normally assert
the
PME#
message independently of the state of the
PME_en
bit.
[14:13]
data_scale
This field indicates the scaling factor when interpreting the value
retrieved from the data register. This field is read-only.
[12:9]
data_select
This field indicates which data should be reported through the
data register and the
data_scale
field.
[8]
PME_EN
1: indicates that the function can assert PME#0: indicates that the
function cannot assert PME#

PM_state
Specifies the power management state of the operating condition
being described. The following encodings are defined:
• 2b’00 D0
• 2b’01 D1
• 2b’10 D2
• 2b’11 D3
A device returns 2b’11 in this field and
Aux
or
PME Aux
in the
type
register to specify the D3-Cold PM state. An encoding of
2b’11 along with any other
type
register value specifies the D3-
Hot state.
Figure 4-34: pme_to_sr and pme_to_cr in an Endpoint IP core
The following figure illustrates the behavior of
pme_to_sr
and
pme_to_cr
in an Endpoint. First, the Hard
IP receives the
PME_turn_off
message which causes
pme_to_sr
to assert. Then, the Application Layer
sends the
PME_to_ack
message to the Root Port by asserting
pme_to_cr
.

Physical Layer Interface Signals
Altera provides an integrated solution with the Transaction, Data Link and Physical Layers. The IP
Parameter Editor generates a SERDES variation file,
or .vhd , in addition to the Hard
IP variation file,
or
.vhd
. The SERDES entity is included in the library files for PCI Express.
