SmartDV’s PCIe 2.1 Controller IP is a silicon-proven, fully featured PCI Express interconnect solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity across embedded, automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. Fully compliant with the PCI-SIG PCIe 2.1 specification, it delivers complete Root Complex and Endpoint controller functionality at 5 GT/s per lane with support for link widths up to x16, providing a proven, production-ready PCIe interconnect foundation for a wide range of storage, networking, and peripheral connectivity applications.
Designed to address the full breadth of PCIe 2.1 system integration requirements, the IP implements the complete LTSSM state machine, full link speed and width negotiation, lane polarity inversion and reversal detection and correction, and a comprehensive transaction layer supporting up to 8 Virtual Channels and 8 Traffic Classes with configurable TC to VC queue mapping. Its silicon-proven status across multiple customer designs gives SoC teams the integration confidence and production readiness that reduces design risk and accelerates time to market.
Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its PIPE interface compatibility, configurable timers, and clean host interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
