PCIe 7.0 Controller

Overview

The PCI Express® (PCIe®) 7.0 Controller is a configurable and scalable design for ASIC implementations. Optimized for high-bandwidth efficiency at data rates up to 128 GT/s, the controller delivers maximum performance for Data Center, Edge, AI/ML and HPC applications. It is backward compatible to the PCIe 6.0 and 5.0, as well as version 6.2.1 PHY Interface for PCI Express (PIPE) specification.

How the PCIe 7.0 Controller Works

The PCIe 7.0 Controller exposes a highly efficient transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) interface with configurable bus widths. The controller can be configured to support endpoint, root port, switch port, and dual-mode topologies, allowing for a variety of use models. The provided Graphical User Interface (GUI) Wizard allows designers to tailor the IP to their exact requirements, by enabling, disabling, and adjusting a vast array of parameters. Its flexible architecture supports a variety of use cases, tailored to unique customer needs.
