High-bandwidth applications can avail advantage of PCIe 3.0 PHY IP's high performance, multi-lane scalability, and low-power layout. A full variety of PCIe 3.0 Base applications are supported by the PCIe 3.0 IP, which also complies with the PIPE 4.3 specification. To enable PCIe 3.0 traffic at 8Gbps, the IP combines highspeed mixed signal circuits. Both the 2.5Gbps PCIe 1.0 data rate and the 5.0Gbps PCIe 2.0 data rate are backward compatible with it. The PCIe 3.0 IP may satisfy the needs for various channel circumstances since it supports both TX and RX equalization approaches.
