Description

Automatic tuning system for Ethernet receiving end equalizer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of network equipment, in particular to an automatic tuning system for an equalizer at an Ethernet receiving end.
Background
In an ethernet communication system, due to different capabilities of transmitting ends of devices or different conditions of media connected between ports, various losses or distortions may exist in signals acquired by a receiving end SerDes compared with original signals, and if the loss is large to a certain extent, the receiving end cannot recover data signals, which may cause error codes or loss of data. Therefore, the receiving-side SerDes is required to have the capability of compensating for signal loss. This is the task that the equalizer at the receiving end performs. Common equalizers include VGA/CTLE/DFE, etc.
In an Ethernet link with a lower speed (lower than 10.3125G), requirements on a transmitting end, a channel and the like are not high, and correct clock data can be recovered in Serdes only by roughly adjusting a corresponding receiving end equalizer or even without equalizing. However, in an ethernet link of ten-thousand megabits or more, a receiving end is very dependent on an equalizer, and whether the equalizer can reasonably compensate loss directly affects the error rate of the system. Especially, in some connecting lines of non-optical media, such as DAC or PCB backplane wiring, even some ethernet devices that need to adapt to temperature-varying environment, since the characteristics of the media may have great difference at high temperature and low temperature, the equalizer is required to adapt to the change of the channel and perform automatic tuning, thereby reducing the error rate of the system and improving the reliability of the device.
FIG. 1 is a prior art system diagram. Firstly, requiring the opposite terminal device to continuously send PRBS code type data, after the signal enters the receiving terminal, the signal is sequentially processed by two equalizers of CTLE/DFE to recover the PRBS code, and the error code statistics is carried out. And respectively controlling the CTLE/DFE according to the current error code condition, increasing the compensation force until a group of configurations meeting the PRBS error code rate requirement are found, and finishing the adjustment. This approach has the disadvantages of:
1) the system has strict requirements on the data format of the transmitting end. The PRBS is a pseudo-random sequence and is generated by an algorithm, and a receiving end can work out a modular sequence through the algorithm as long as the receiving end uses the same pattern as the sending end, so that wrong code words can be compared. In practice, however, not all devices are able to transmit the PRBS code.
2) And the PRBS is sent to mean that the user data cannot be transmitted, which shows that the system cannot be re-optimized in the process that the link is established and the user data starts to be transmitted, and only can satisfy the connection with quite stable link characteristics and is once optimized when the establishment is started. This risks scene adaptation to temperature variations.
3) The PRBS statistics of error conditions need to be accumulated for a certain time. Too short a PRBS detection does not accurately reflect the system error rate. The system does not indicate how long a process takes. However, from practical experience, it is common that only 1 false statistic occurs within a few seconds. If the detection is in milliseconds, this error is probably missed, and the current equalization is deemed ok, but the actual effect is poor. If the detection requires seconds, the error can be detected, but the time is too long.
In other prior art techniques, a way to adjust the CTLE based on eye height openness is provided. Firstly, a lookup table of the CTLE is correspondingly found based on an estimated signal intensity, then, configurations which can enable the CDR to be locked are searched in a traversing mode in the table, and then, the CTLE value is sequentially traversed to find the optimal configuration. This approach has the disadvantages of:
1) only aiming at the adjustment mode of the CTLE equalizer, and not adjusting the VGA;
2) if abnormal processing is lacked, for example, a transmission code pattern mutation occurs in the adjustment process, and a large number of signals are connected with 0 to 1, the CDR may not be locked normally, and thus the optimal configuration of the CTLE cannot be found.
Disclosure of Invention
First, terms appearing in the present invention are explained:
1. eye pattern: the receiving end signal is superposed with a displayed graph on the oscilloscope, so that the overall characteristic of the signal is reflected, the quality degree of the system signal can be estimated, the horizontal axis represents the period/time, and the vertical axis represents the amplitude

The gigabit ethernet commonly uses SerDes technology to complete the transmission of signals.

Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, a specific embodiment of the system for automatically tuning an equalizer at a receiving end of an ethernet according to the present invention is described. In this embodiment, the system 30 includes a receiving-end equalizer 301, a clock data recovery module 302, an eye scan module 303, and an equalization adjustment module 304.
The receiving end equalizer 301 is used for receiving an original signal and performing signal compensation. Specifically, the receiving-end equalizer 301 may include a continuous-time linear equalizer CTLE, a voltage gain amplifier VGA, and a decision feedback equalizer DFE, and the original signal is subjected to the CTLE, VGA, and DFE in sequence to complete signal compensation.
The clock data recovery module 302 is configured to receive the original signal compensated by the receiving end equalizer and recover clock data. The recovered clock data is divided into two paths, and the clock data recovery module can send the recovered clock data to the eye pattern scanning module and can also send the recovered clock data to the user side. Therefore, when automatic tuning is carried out, the transmission of user data can not be interrupted, and the re-tuning in the user data transmission process can be realized.
The eye pattern scanning module 303 is configured to sample the clock data to obtain eye pattern data; the equalization adjustment module 304 is configured to obtain a parameter adjustment result based on the eye diagram data, and configure the receiving end equalizer using the parameter adjustment result.
The whole set of receiving end equalizer CTLE/VGA/DFE, wherein the DFE is a decision feedback equalizer and comprises 5 TAPs, the self-adaptive adjustment of the DFE is completed by ASIC logic inside the module, and the DFE can be enabled or closed by the outside or be provided with a forced value to bypass the self-adaptation. The values of the CTLE and the VGA are configured by a balance adjusting module and can also be configured by the outside, wherein the CTLE comprises two taps of C and R which respectively compensate the high-frequency part and the low-frequency part of a signal, and the VGA only has one Tap. The value ranges of the VGA/CTLE _ C/CTLE _ R are all 0-15, and the larger the value is, the larger the compensation force is. The clock data recovery module is used for completing the work of locking the clock signal by the ASIC logic.
Referring to fig. 4, the equalization adjustment module is specifically configured to:
and S51, presetting the initial condition of the receiving end equalizer.
Referring to fig. 5, because the eye scan module has different adaptability to different code patterns, and the more random signal is more stable and reliable, to ensure the adjustment effect, the signal code pattern of the transmitting end should be continuous and sufficiently random, and the long-connection 0-connection 1 condition is avoided. In this embodiment, the reliable code pattern includes an ethernet PCS IDLE code, a user random ethernet packet, and a PRBS.
In a specific presetting process, firstly configuring a universal initial value for the equalizer at the receiving end, and judging whether the eye pattern is opened at the moment; if yes, the following step S52 is executed; if not, the initial value is modified and then whether the eye pattern is opened or not is continuously verified.
In this embodiment, the values configured for the receiving end equalizer include a CTLE high frequency compensation value, a CTLE low frequency compensation value, a VGA value, and a DFE value, and the clock data recovery module 302 can normally operate by presetting these values, and the eye diagram at this time is slightly opened.
In one embodiment, the initial value setting: VGA =5 CTLE _ C =8 CTLE _ R =10 DFE enables adaptation, which enables the clock data recovery module to work normally for signals with link attenuation in the range of 0-25 dB.
And S52, performing coarse adjustment and insertion loss estimation on the initial conditions.
Referring to fig. 6, the steps of coarse tuning and loss estimation specifically include:
firstly, configuring a plurality of groups of preset equalization compensation values according to the size of the insertion loss. For example,
according to application scenes, dividing link insertion loss into 5 grades according to the size:
1, gear 1: 0 to 12dB
2, gear: 12-15 dB
3, gear 3: 15-18 dB
4, gear 4: 18-20 dB
5, gear: >20dB
The insertion loss refers to the insertion loss of Bump-Bump, namely, the insertion loss starts from a pin of a sender serdes in a chip, passes through chip packaging, PCB routing, a connector and a cable, and reaches a connector of an opposite end, the PCB routing, the chip packaging and the pin of the serdes in the chip, and the sum of all losses on the same line.
For the 5 th gear, the compensation force of the equalizer is increasingly greater, and it is determined through experiments that specific configuration values are shown in table 1, where table 1 is a specific configuration value:
serial number Attenuation range {VGA, CTLE_C, CTLE_R} DFE {Tap 1~5}
1 0~12dB {6 , 14, 4 } {0 , 0, 0, 0, 0}
2 12~15dB {6 , 14, 10} {0 , 0, 0, 0, 0}
3 15~18dB {4 , 14, 12} {0 , 0, 0, 0, 0}
4 18~20dB {4 , 14, 12} {10, 0, 0, 0, 0}
5 >20dB {4 , 14, 12} {20, 5, 0, 0, 0}
In the coarse adjustment stage, because the self-adaptation of the DFE is not controlled by the balance adjustment module, 5 taps of the DFE are configured into fixed values in order to avoid the influence of the self-adaptation of the DFE on the quality judgment of the VGA and the CTLE. All the DFEs of 1-3 groups are 0, namely, enough gain can be obtained only by VGA and CTLE for smaller attenuation. For larger attenuation, only VGA and CTLE are not enough, so 4-5 groups of DFEs have some compensation effects, and then the 5 groups of preset equalization compensation values are stored.
Next, the eye diagram data is initialized:
the index i =0, the eye maximum max-eye =0, the eye maximum is the index max-idx =0, and the current eye cur-eye = 0.
Thirdly, configuring the equalizer at the receiving end according to the preset equalization compensation value, and calling the eye pattern scanning module to acquire current eye pattern data; and after traversing the multiple groups of preset equalization compensation values to configure the eye diagram data after the eye diagram data is validated, determining a group of preset equalization compensation values corresponding to the maximum eye diagram data.
The traversal method is to judge whether i is equal to 5, if so, the value of the equalizer is configured to be the maximum eye value; if not, configuring the value of the equalizer to the ith group; reading the eye height and the eye width, and recording the current eye value cur-eye; judging whether the current eye value cur-eye is larger than the maximum eye value max-eye, if so, taking the current eye value cur-eye as the maximum eye value max-eye, and if not, i + +;
and circulating the traversal until i =5, and ending the traversal.
And setting and configuring 1-5 equalizers to take effect in sequence, and calling an eye pattern scanning module to obtain and record the current eye height and eye width after each configuration is completed. After 5 sets of traversal are completed, find the set of eye diagram data (i.e., the value of eye height + eye width) that is the largest, and reset the equalizer to the set of values. By this method, it is possible to determine the range where the current insertion loss is roughly located, while the equalizer configuration is also matched to the current link conditions.
And finally, configuring the equalizer at the receiving end according to a group of preset equalization compensation values when the eye pattern data is maximum.
S53, determining the state of the DFE.
Referring to fig. 7, specifically, the DFE is first turned off and eye pattern data is obtained; judging whether the eye pattern data are larger than an eye pattern preset value or not; if not, opening the DFE and setting the DFE to be in a self-adaptive state; and if so, executing a step of finely adjusting the CTLE.
For links with particularly desirable signal quality, sufficient gain can be obtained by only VGA and CTLE without introducing DFE compensation. So a decision needs to be made to turn off the DFE if the eye quality after coarse tuning is good enough not to let it participate in the equalization. Instead, the DFE is left in an adaptive state for subsequent adjustments.
In the above determination process, the predetermined value of the eye pattern compared after turning off the DFE needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the system. In one embodiment, the eye height values in the eye diagram data may be compared, for example, the eye height of the whole eye is about 360 mv.
And S54, performing fine adjustment on the CTLE.
Referring to fig. 8, in the fine adjustment process, specifically, after the VGA value and the CTLE high-frequency compensation value are fixed, the eye diagram data when the CTLE low-frequency compensation value CTLE fluctuates in a preset range near the current value is traversed; and configuring the CTLE according to the CTLE low-frequency compensation value corresponding to the obtained maximum eye diagram data.
In an exemplary adjustment process, the CTLE high frequency compensation value is defined as CTLE _ C and the CTLE low frequency compensation value is defined as CTLE _ R. The adjustment method is to make a traversal of the CTLE _ R in the range of plus or minus 3 of the current value, each time adding a value, and then reading and recording the current (eye height + eye width). This finds the group where (eye height + eye width) is the largest and resets CTLE _ R to this value. Thus, one-time automatic tuning of the equalizer is completed, and the tuning process does not affect normal data transmission to the user. The detailed steps are as follows:
step S81: initializing a local variable;
fine tuning start value = (current CTRE-R-3), fine tuning end value end = (current CTRE-R + 3), value of CTRE-R = start, eye maximum value max-eye =0, value of CTLE-R with maximum eye value-max = 0.
Step S82: judging value>end
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
If not, the step S83 is operated; if yes, step S88 is executed.
Step S83: and (5) making the CTLE-R into value.
Step S84: read (eye height + eye width) and record cur-eye.
Step S85: judging cur-eye>max-eye
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
If so, step S86 is executed, and if not, step S87 is executed.
Step S86: cur-eye = max-eye, value-max = value.
Step S87: value + +.
Step S88: and the CTLE-R is configured to be value-max.
The automatic tuning system of the Ethernet receiving end equalizer provided by the invention determines the tuning parameter result of the receiving end equalizer by using the eye diagram data, and automatically tunes the serdes receiving end equalizer by combining the coarse tuning and fine tuning modes, so that the signal transmission loss is properly compensated and the receiving end data is correctly recovered under the condition that the current link condition is uncertain, thereby reducing the error rate of the gigabit Ethernet communication and improving the system reliability.
