PCIe 4.0 (Gen4) Plus Controller with AMBA bridge II

Overview

The configurable and scalable the Controller IP for PCI Express® (PCIe®) supports all required features of the PCI Express 5.0, 4.0, 3.1, 2.1, 1.1 and PHY Interface for PCI Express (PIPE) specifications, and can be configured by the user to support Endpoint (EP), Root Port, Dual Mode (DM), or Switch Port (SW) applications. The high-quality, synthesizable IP portfolio is available in your choice of datapath widths, PIPE interface widths, operating frequencies, and over 1200 configuration parameters, all working together to enable designers to optimize their applications for size, power, latency and throughput. The Controller IP portfolio for PCI Express integrates quickly and easily into system-on-chip (SoC) designs with a user-friendly application interface or an industry-standard AMBA interface, and conservative timing suitable for a wide range of ASIC and FPGA technologies.

The Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) Security Module for PCIe 5.0 is pre-verified with the Controller IP to help designers protect data transfer in their SoCs against tampering and physical attacks. The standards-compliant IDE Security Modules are designed and validated with the Controller IP for PCIe to accelerate SoC integration, offering efficient confidentiality, integrity, and replay protection. The Secure PCIe Controllers with IDE provide support for the TEE Device Interface Security Protocol (TDISP), an Engineering Change Notice (ECN) released by PCI-SIG. TDISP standardized framework defines how to secure the interconnect between virtual machine hosts and devices, regardless of where the data center resides or who has access to the servers inside. The PCIe Controllers with IDE enable designers to build full TDISP support in their hyperscale SoCs and mitigate against data and system attacks to address the challenges of virtualized cloud security. Learn about the broad portfolio of Security Solutions for Interfaces.

The Controller IP for PCI Express has been silicon validated in over 1800 designs with multiple hardware platforms, PHYs and PCIe verification suites, thereby reducing risk and improving time-to-market. As the industry standard for PCI Express, the vendor offers a comprehensive IP solution that is in volume production and has been successfully implemented in a wide range of applications.
