Special Symbols n Framing and Link management use special ‘K’ coded symbols l l l l l l l l l COM (comma) – used for Lane and Link initialization and management STP (start TLP) – marks the start of a TLP packet SDP (start DLLP) – marks the start of a DLLP packet END (end) – marks the end of a TLP or DLLP packet EDB (end bad) – marks the end of a nullified TLP PAD (pad) – used in framing, Link Width, and Lane ordering negotiations SKP (skip) – used for compensating for different bit rates for two communicating ports FTS (fast training sequence) – used within an ordered set to exit from L0s to L0 IDL (idle) – used in electrical ordered set Copyright by Dashcourses, Inc. 2009 4-129
