Overview

The IP for PCI Express® to ARM® AMBA® 3 AXI/4 AXI Bridge enables designers who use the AMBA 3 AXI or 4 AXI interconnect on-chip bus to easily add external connectivity via PCI Express to their system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The IP for PCI Express to AMBA 3 AXI/4 AXI Bridge is an add-on product that works in conjunction with the portfolio of silicon-proven IP for PCI Express, including Endpoint, Root Complex and Dual Mode controllers.

The IP for PCI Express to AMBA 3 AXI/4 AXI Bridge is configurable and scalable to meet the multiple application requirements of today’s demanding high-bandwidth, low latency designs and is compliant to the PCI Express Base, PHY Interface for PCI Express (PIPE), and AMBA 3 AXI/4 AXI interconnects specifications. The IP for PCI Express to AMBA 3 AXI/4 AXI Bridge manages the AXI and PCI Express protocols, including their different ordering models, freeing the designer to concentrate on application design instead of the details of complex interface standards. The high-quality, synthesizable IP is available in a variety of datapath widths and operating frequencies for optimizing size, power, and throughput specifically to an application. The IP for PCI Express to AMBA 3 AXI/4 AXI Bridge integrates quickly and easily into SoC designs with a user-friendly application interface and conservative timing suitable for a wide range of ASIC and FPGA technologies.

The silicon-proven IP for PCI Express to AMBA 3 AXI/4 AXI Bridge has been extensively validated with multiple hardware platforms, PHYs, and PCIe verification suites, thereby reducing risk and improving time-to-market. As the IP technology leader for PCI Express, the vendor offers a comprehensive IP solution that is in volume production and has been successfully implemented in a wide range of applications.

Maximizing Performance & Reliability for Flash Applications with Synopsys xSPI Solution

Systems using SoCs designed in advanced processes generally rely on external Flash devices that use NOR/NAND Flash memory technology for non-volatile storage. NOR Flash memory offers many benefits for device manufacturers and consumers, such as faster reading, low power consumption, and smaller area. In contrast, NAND Flash memories are ideal for applications such as data storage, where higher memory capacity and faster write and erase operations are required.
