PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) is an interface standard for connecting high-speed components. Using PCIe slots one can add GPUs, RAID cards, Wi-Fi cards or SSD's (solid-state drive) add-on cards. PCIE controller supports PCIE Gen 7 backward compatible with earlier versions of Gen 6/5/4/3/2/1 with a lane width of x1/x2/x4/x8/x12/16/x32 and supporting Lane Bifurcation.
- PCIE is a layered protocol high speed interconnect interface supporting speeds up to 64GT/S multi lanes and links.
- Supports X16, X8, X4, X2, X1 Lane Configuration2
- The layers specified in PCIE specification Transport, Datalink, Physical layers (digital packet) are implemented in - -PRIMEXPRESS IP along with PIPE interface logic connecting to PHY and AXI Bridging logic to connect to applications.
