Type Description
PERST_N 61 I, PU PCI Platform Reset.
Active low, indicates when the applied power is within the specified
tolerance and stable.
WAKE_N 60 O, OD PCI Wake-up.
An open-drain, active low signal that is driven low by a PCIe
function to reactivate the PCIe Link hierarchys main power rails
and reference clocks.+
Note: For applications that support a wake-up function, connect this
pin to the WAKE# signal of a PCIe card slot or system board. Connect
an external pull-up resistor from the PCIe card slot or system board to
the 3.3V auxiliary supply. For applications that do not support a
wake-up function, keep the WAKE_N pin on the 88SE9230 open.

88SE9230 R1.1 Two-Lane PCIe 2.0 to Four-Port SATA 6 Gbps RAID I/O Processor
Preliminary Datasheet
4-4 Layer Stack-up
Copyright 2013 Marvell CONFIDENTIAL Doc No. MV-S108075-00 Rev. C
J une 21, 2013 Document Classification: Proprietary
4.2 Layer Stack-up
The following layer stack up is recommended:
Layer 1Topside, Parts, Slow and High Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes
Layer 2Solid Ground Plane
Layer 3Power Plane
Layer 4Bottom Layer, Slow and High-Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes
5 mil traces and 5 mil spacing are the recommended minimum requirements.
4.2.1 Layer 1Topside, Parts, Slow and High Speed Signal Routes, and Power
Routes
All active parts are to be placed on the topside. Some of the differential pairs for SATA and
PCIe are routed on the top layer, differential 100 ohm impedance needs to be maintained for
those high speed signals.
4.2.2 Layer 2Solid Ground Plane
A solid ground plane should be located directly below the top layer of the PCB. This layer
should be a minimum distance below the top layer in order to reduce the amount of crosstalk
and EMI. There should be no cutouts in the ground plane. Use of 1 ounce copper is
recommended.
4.2.3 Layer 3Power Plane
Use solid planes on layer 3 to supply power to the ICs on the PCB. Avoid narrow traces and
necks on this plane.
4.2.4 Layer 4Bottom Layer, Slow and High-Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes
Some of the differential pairs for SATA and PCIe are routed on the top layer, differential 100
impedance needs to be maintained for those high speed signals. The high speed signals
have the return current on the third layer, which is the power plane. Make sure there is no
cut-out under the signal path.

Layout Guidelines
Power Supply 4-5
Copyright 2013 Marvell CONFIDENTIAL Doc No. MV-S108075-00 Rev. C
J une 21, 2013 Document Classification: Proprietary
4.3 Power Supply
The 88SE9230 operates using the following power supplies:
VDD Power (1.0V) for the digital core
Analog Power Supply (1.8V)
4.3.1 VDD Power (1.0V)
All digital power pins (VDD pins) must be connected directly to a VDD plane in the power
layer with short and wide traces to minimize digital power-trace inductances.
Use vias close to the VDD pins to connect to this plane and avoid using the traces on the top
layer. Marvell recommends placing capacitors around the three sides of the PCB near VDD
pins with the following dimensions:
1 F (1 capacitor)
0.1 F (2 capacitors)
2.2 F (1 ceramic capacitor)
The 2.2 F ceramic decoupling capacitor is needed to filter the lower frequency power-supply
noise.
To reduce system noise, the use of high-frequency surface-mount monolithic ceramic bypass
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the channel VDD pins. At least one
decoupling capacitor should be placed on each side of the IC package.
Short and wide copper traces should be used to minimize parasitic inductances. Low-value
capacitors (1,00010,000 pF) are preferable over higher values because they are more
effective at higher frequencies.
4.3.2 Analog Power Supply (1.8V)
The PCIe analog supply provides power for the PCIe links high speed serial signals. To
ensure high speed link operation, use a series of bypass capacitors for the supplies. A typical
capacitor value combination is 1 F, 0.1F, and 2.2 F.
4.3.3 Bias Current Resistor (RSET)
Connect a 6.04K (1%) resistor between the ISET pin and the adjacent top ground plane.
This resistor should lie as close as possible to the ISET pin.

Layout Guidelines
Recommended Layout 4-7
Copyright 2013 Marvell CONFIDENTIAL Doc No. MV-S108075-00 Rev. C
J une 21, 2013 Document Classification: Proprietary
4.5 Recommended Layout
Solid ground planes are recommended. However, special care should be taken when routing
VAA and VSS pins.
The following general tips describe what should be considered when determining your
stack-up and board routing. These tips are not meant to substitute for consulting with a
signal-integrity expert or doing your own simulations.
Note: Specific numbers or rules-of-thumb are not used here because they might not be applicable in
every situation.
Do not split ground planes.
Keep good spacing between possible sensitive analog circuitry on your board and the digital
signals to sufficiently isolate noise. A solid ground plane is necessary to provide a good return
path for routing layers. Try to provide at least one ground plane adjacent to all routing layers
(see Figure 4-2).
Keep trace layers as close as possible to the adjacent ground or power planes.
This helps minimize crosstalk and improve noise control on the planes.
Figure 4-2 Trace Has At Least One Solid Plane For Return Path
When routing adjacent to only a power plane, do not cross splits.
Route traces only over the power plane that supplies both the driver and the load. Otherwise,
provide a decoupling capacitor near the trace at the end that is not supplied by the adjacent
power plane.
Critical signals should avoid running parallel and close to or directly over a gap.
This would change the impedance of the trace.
Separate analog powers onto opposing planes.
This helps minimize the coupling area that an analog plane has with an adjacent digital plane.
For dual strip-line routing, traces should only cross at 90 degrees.
Avoid more than two routing layers in a row to minimize tandem crosstalk and to better control
impedance.
Planes should be evenly distributed in order to minimize warping.
Calculating or modeling impedance should be made prior to routing.
This helps ensure that a reasonable trace thickness is used and that the desired board
thickness is available. Consult with your board fabricator for accurate impedance.

4-8 Recommended Layout

Allow good separation between fast signals to avoid crosstalk.
Crosstalk increases as the parallel traces get longer.
When packages become smaller, route traces over a split power plane
Smaller packages force vias to become smaller, thereby reducing board thickness and layer
counts, which might create the need to route traces over a split power plane. Some
alternatives to provide return path for these signals are listed below.
Caution must be used when applying these techniques. Digital traces should not cross over
analog planes, and vice-versa. All of these rules must be followed closely to prevent noise
contamination problems that might arise due to routing over the wrong plane.
By tightly controlling the return path, control noise on the power and ground planes can be
controlled.
Place a ground layer close enough to the split power plane in order to couple enough to
provide buried capacitance, such as SIG-PWR-GND (see Figure 4-3). Return signals that
encounter splits in this situation simply jumps to the ground plane, over the split, and back
to the other power plane. Buried capacitance provides the benefit of adding low
inductance decoupling to your board. Your fabricator may charge for a special license fee
and special materials. To determine the amount of capacitance your planes provide, use
the following equation:
Where E
R
is the dielectric coefficient, L W represents the area of copper, and H is the
separation between planes.
Provide return-path capacitors that connect to both power planes and jumps the split.
Place them close to the traces so that there is one capacitor for every four or five traces.
The capacitors would then provide the return path (see Figure 4-4).
Allow only static or slow signals on layers where they are adjacent to split planes.
Figure 4-3 shows the ground layer close to the split power plane.
Figure 4-3 Close Power and Ground Planes Provide Coupling For Good Return Path
Figure 4-4 shows the thermal ground plane in relation to the return-path capacitor.

5-6 Thermal Data
Copyright 2013 Marvell CONFIDENTIAL Doc No. MV-S108075-00 Rev. C
J une 21, 2013 Document Classification: Proprietary
5.5 Thermal Data
It is recommended to read application note AN-63 Thermal Management for Selected
Marvell Products (Document Number MV-S300281-00) and the ThetaJC, ThetaJA, and
Temperature Calculations White Paper, available from Marvell, before designing a system.
These documents describe the basic understanding of thermal management of integrated
circuits (ICs) and guidelines to ensure optimal operating conditions for Marvell products.
Note: In additional to the airflow requirement, a heat sink is required to assist the thermal dissipation.
Table 5-5 provides the thermal data for the 88SE9230. The simulation was performed
according to J EDEC standards.
Table 5-5 shows the values for the package thermal parameters for the 76-lead Quad Flat
Non-Lead package (QFN 76) mounted on a 4-layer PCB.
