Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
Synopsys IP Solutions for PCI Express® (PCIe®) consist of digital controllers, Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) Security Modules, PHYs and verification IP. The IP solutions are designed to support all required features of the PCIe 6.0 64GT/s (Gen6), PCIe 5.0 32GT/s (Gen5), PCIe 4.0 16GT/s (Gen4), 3.1 8GT/s (Gen3), 2.1 5GT/s (Gen2) and 1.1 2.5GT/s (Gen1), and latest PIPE specifications.
As the leading supplier of PCIe IP, Synopsys offers silicon-proven IP solutions for PCIe that provide high-throughput, low-latency, and power-efficient external connectivity in SoCs for mobile, networking, storage, cloud computing, AI, and automotive applications. Extensive interoperability testing with third-party products and strict quality measures combined with an expert technical support team enables designers to accelerate time-to-market and reduce integration risk.
PCIe, the most popular interconnect in compute, AI and storage systems, is now offering faster data rate, higher performance, lower power and lower latency than the previous generation. Because of these reasons and the addition of PAM-4 signaling, challenges such as signal integrity, power integrity, implementation, IP integration and more must be considered when designing 64GT/s systems.
This DesignCon 2022 video features Synopsys PHY IP for PCIe 6.0 showing wide open PAM-4 eyes, good jitter breakdown decomposition on the Keysight oscilloscope, excellent receiver performance, and simulation-to-silicon correlation.
As the leading supplier of IP solutions for PCIe, Synopsys IP solutions for PCIe 5.0, including digital controllers and PHYs, have officially passed PCI-SIG 5.0 Compliance Testing and are the first IP to be listed on the 5.0 Integrators List.
