Will next generation Mobile Devices support PCI Express? M-PCIe is coming fast!
Those who have read the numerous articles I have written about MIPI, or PCIe, or the fusion of both named “Mobile Express” know my position: the question is not “Will Mobile devices support PCI Express?” but “When will we see Mobile devices integrating Mobile Express?” I was not really surprised by the Press Release that Cadence has launched yesterday (07 March 2013), claiming the company support for Mobile PCIe Express (M-PCIe) solution, made of MIPI M-PHY IP, PCIe Controller IP and Verification IP for both, as MIPI M-PHY IP was part of Cosmic Circuit port-folio.
The surprise comes from the fast turnaround time between Cosmic Circuit acquisition and this announcement of M-PCIe support: exactly one month! If, like me, you hate the management posture which is to discuss forever before taking a decision, in fact discuss for such a long time that when the decision is taken it’s too late to get the entire benefit from the decision, you will appreciate this fast move, too!
