Hello!
We are designing our own PCB and use i210IS chip.
So, we need to know what type of differential input clock does PECLKp/n signals use? LVDS? HCSL or another?
Thank you!
Looking forward your answer!
Sergej.

Hello, @SergejDziuba
If you check the Intel I210 datasheet: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/i210-cs-cl-ethernet-controller-datasheet.pdf?asset=14546
Section 9.6.2.6, you can read the following:
The input clock for PCIe must be a differential input clock in frequency of 100 MHz. For full specifications please check the PCI Express* 2.0 Card Electro-Mechanical (CEM) Specification (refclk specifications for Gen 1 ).
So the answer to your question is on the PECLKp/n signals follow the PCI Express® Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.1 for the Refclk.
Now, you will have to confirm this on your side, but at least for Revision 2.0 of the CEM specification: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~djm202/pdf/specifications/pcie/PCI_Express_CEM_r2.0.pdf the Refclk is stated to be low voltage swing differential clocks.
If you need more details, as mentioned earlier, access to the Intel Resource and Design Center is recommended.
Best Regards,
