PCIe3.0 Controller

Overview

The Innosilicon Gen1/2/3 PCI Express Controller provides a PCI Express Root Complex (RC) and Endpoint (EP) application. It’s a high performance, high reliability, low latency, low area, low power and easy to integrate PCI Express solution. This Controller supports Up to x8 Gen1 (2.5Gb/s), Gen2 (5.0Gb/s), Gen3 (8.0Gb/s), full compliant with PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 3.0.
