PCIe 6.1 Controller
Overview
The Rambus PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.1 Controller is a configurable and scalable design for ASIC implementations. It is backward compatible to the PCIe 5.0, 4.0 and 3.1/3.0, as well as version 6.x PHY Interface for PCI Express (PIPE) specification.
Key Features
- Designed to the latest PCI Express 6.1 (64 GT/s), 5.0 (32 GT/s), 4.0 (16 GT/s), 3.1/3.0 (8 GT/s), and PIPE 6.x (8-, 16-, 32-, 64- and 128-bit) specifications
- Supports SerDes Architecture PIPE 10b/20b/40b/80b width
- Compliant with PCI-SIG Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Specification
- Supports multiple virtual channels (VCs) in FLIT and non-FLIT modes
- Supports Endpoint, Root-Port, Dual-mode, Switch port configurations
- Supports x1 to x16 architectures at PCIe 6.1 to PCIe 1.0 speeds
- Supports Forward Error Correction (FEC) - Lightweight algorithm for low latency
- Supports L0p Low Power mode
- Supports AER, ECRC, ECC, MSI, MSI-X, Multifunction, crosslink, and other optional features
- Up to 4-bit parity protection for data path
- Supports Clock Gating and Power Gating
- RAS features include LTSSM timers override, ACK/NAK/Replay/UpdateFC timers override, unscrambled PIPE interface access, error injection on Rx and Tx paths, recovery detailed status and much more, allowing for safe and reliable deployment of IP in mission-critical SoCs
