Parameter

Value

Description

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.

PBA 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.

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.
