Parameter
Value
Description
Table Offset
[31:0]
Points to the base of the MSI-X Table. The lower 3 bits of the
table BAR indicator (BIR) are set to zero by software to form a
32-bit qword-aligned offset
(1)
. This field is read-only.
Table BAR
Indicator
[2:0]
Specifies which one of a function’s BARs, located beginning at
0x10 in Configuration Space, is used to map the MSI-X table
into memory space. This field is read-only. Legal range is 0–5.
Pending Bit
Array (PBA)
Offset
[31:0]
Used as an offset from the address contained in one of the
function’s Base Address registers to point to the base of the
MSI-X PBA. The lower 3 bits of the PBA BIR are set to zero by
software to form a 32-bit qword-aligned offset. This field is
read-only.
Pending BAR
Indicator
[2:0]
Specifies the function Base Address registers, located
beginning at 0x10 in Configuration Space, that maps the MSI-
X PBA into memory space. This field is read-only. Legal range
is 0–5.
Note:
1. Throughout this user guide, the terms word, dword and qword have the same meaning that they have
in the PCI Express Base Specification. A word is 16 bits, a dword is 32 bits, and a qword is 64 bits.

Maximum of 128 ns

Maximum of 512 ns
Maximum of 1 us
Maximum of 2 us
Maximum of 4 us
No limit
This design parameter specifies the maximum acceptable
latency that the device can tolerate to exit the L0s state for any
links between the device and the root complex. It sets the
read-only value of the Endpoint L0s acceptable latency field of
the
Device Capabilities Register
(0x084).
This Endpoint does not support the L0s or L1 states. However,
in a switched system there may be links connected to switches
that have L0s and L1 enabled. This parameter is set to allow
system configuration software to read the acceptable latencies
for all devices in the system and the exit latencies for each link
to determine which links can enable Active State Power
Management (ASPM). This setting is disabled for Root Ports.
The default value of this parameter is 64 ns. This is the safest
setting for most designs.
