The multi-channel PHY IP for PCI Express® 4.0 includes the high-speed, high-performance transceiver to meet today’s applications’ demands for higher bandwidth. The PHY provides a cost-effective solution that is designed to meet the needs of today’s high-speed chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and backplane interfaces while being extremely low in power and area.
Using leading-edge design, analysis, simulation, and measurement techniques, the vendor delivers exceptional signal integrity and jitter performance that exceeds the PCI Express standards electrical specifications. The high-margin, robust PHY architecture tolerates process, voltage and temperature (PVT) manufacturing variations and is implemented with standard CMOS digital process technologies.
The multi-tap transmitter and receiver equalizers, along with the advanced built-in diagnostics and ATE test vectors, enable customers to control, monitor and test for signal integrity without the need for expensive test equipment. This provides on-chip visibility into actual link and channel performance to quickly improve signal integrity. This capability reduces both product development cycles and the need for costly field support.
The vendor offers a portfolio of silicon-proven IP for PCI Express consisting of controllers, PHYs, verification IP, IP Prototyping Kits, Software Development Kits and Interface IP Subsystems. As the industry standard for PCI Express, the vendor's solution is in volume production and has been successfully implemented in a wide range of applications.
