Data Center Solutions PCI Express Solutions Field-Proven, Interoperable and Standards-Compliant Portfolio www.microchip.com PCI Express Solutions PCI Express (PCIe) is a widely deployed bus interconnect interface that is commonly used in server platforms. Increasingly, it is also used as a storage and GPU interconnect solution. PCIe Gen3 supports 8 GT/s of throughput per PCIe lane and Gen4 sup- ports 16 GT/s. Typical implementations utilize 2, 4, 8 and 16 lane width interconnect configurationsdirectly from the host root complex or through PCIe switches to endpoint PCIe devices. Microchip is a leader in PCIe, having introduced multiple industry firsts. Highlights include: PCIe Gen3 SAS/SATA RAID controller The industrys highest-density and lowest-power Gen3 PCIe switches, Switchtec PSX and PFX PCIe Gen3 NVMe Flash controller (Flashtec ), followed by a second-generation introduction of the industrys fastest PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD controllers PCIe Gen3 redriver with EQNOX adaptive equalization Flash-based FPGAs and SoCs used in CPLD functions with integrated PCIe endpoint implementations Microchip offers a flexible product portfolio to intelligently design your PCIe system for data center, communications, defense and industrial applications.
