PCIe PHY and controller solution

Brite 16Gbps PCIe PHY and controller solution provide high efficient interconnection that is optimized for PPA performance. The System can support short-reach or long-reach channels for plenty application scenarios. Besides the high performance of the PHY with its high line rate, low latency operation is a key feature of the PCIe PHY. The PHY supports data rate from 2.5Gbps to 16Gbps to cover PCIe Gen4.0/3.0/2.0/1.0.  The common high-speed LC-PLL clock generation can supply clock up to 8+ lanes depending on jitter requirement, so that flexible macro configuration of e.g. 1x,2x,4x,8x are possible.

Brite PCIe controller to AXI architecture provides a high-performance, easy-to-use interconnect solution between PCI Express and the latest version of the AXI protocol. It inherits the leading architecture and features an AXI user interface with built-in DMA, compliant with the AMBA® AXI3 and AXI4 specifications.
