Overview
The PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.2 Switch is a customizable, multiport embedded switch for PCIe designed for ASIC implementations. It enables the connection of one upstream port and multiple downstream ports as a fully configurable interface subsystem. It is backward compatible to PCIe 5.0.
How the PCIe 6.2 Switch Works
The PCIe 6.2 Switch is the first embedded switch IP available on the market architected to be physically aware. The switch IP leverages configurable pipeline stages and a fully non-blocking multi-stage routing crossbar to enable implementation of embedded switch logic even in large chips with large physical separation between ports.
The PCIe switch IP transparently manages upstream-downstream data flow as well as peer-to-peer transfers between downstream ports, delivering the flexibility, scalability and configurability required for connecting multiple devices, including NVMe SSDs.

This paper describes challenges involved in realizing the maximum performance of a configurable interconnect IP (GPEX - Rambus PCI Express Digital Controller). The following sections describe how various performance metrics such as roundtrip latency and bandwidth can be used to characterize a PCI Express IP performance and its impact on the system. The ideas presented can also be applied to other high speed interconnect architectures like RapidIO and Hypertransport
UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.
In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
