PCI Express (PCIe) 2.1 Controller

Overview

Application-optimized, high-performance controller IP for PCIe

The Cadence® Controller IP for PCIe® 2.0 is a solution created for less demanding designs. It has the logic required to integrate a Root Complex (RC), Endpoint (EP), or Dual Mode (DM) controller into any system on chip (SoC). Compliant with PCI Express® 2.1 and 1.1 specifications, the Controller IP has over then 100 configuration features, and 1500+ input parameters, to customize the controller to the specific needs of any application. The Controller IP is architected to quickly and easily integrate into any SoC, and connect seamlessly to a Cadence or third-party PIPE 4.2-compliant PHY. Client applications access the controller through an industry-standard Arm® AMBA® 4 or 3 AXI interface or through Cadence's native Host Adaptation Layer (HAL) interface.
