Peripheral component interconnect express interface device and operating method thereof

Abstract

A Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface device coupled to an external device through a link including a plurality of lanes according to the present disclosure includes an EQ controller controlling the PCIe interface device to perform an equalization operation for determining a transmitter or receiver setting of each of the plurality of lanes, and an EQ information storage storing log information indicating a number of equalization operation attempts with respect to each of a plurality of EQ coefficients and storing error information about an error occurring in an LO state with respect to each of the plurality of EQ coefficients, which includes a transmitter coefficient or a receiver coefficient, wherein the EQ controller determines a final EQ coefficient using the log information and the error information.
