CXL IP Cores

What is CXL IP?

CXL IP is a reusable interface block that implements CXL-based communication inside SoCs and ASICs.

It provides a proven path to add standards-compliant serial connectivity in advanced SoC and ASIC designs.

Main functions of CXL IP

Protocol implementation

CXL IP provides the state machines, framing, signaling, and control behavior needed to comply with the target standard.

System integration

It connects processors, controllers, peripherals, or external devices using a verified interface architecture.

Performance and robustness

CXL IP is selected based on throughput, latency, interoperability, and reliability needs in the target product.

Verification and reuse

Using interface IP helps reduce bring-up risk and shortens integration time versus building protocol logic from scratch.
