PCIe 5.0 digital controller supports up to 32 GT/sec data rates

Rambus Inc. announced that Rambus has demonstrated its PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 digital controller IP on leading FPGA platforms. PCIe 5.0 performance at 32 GT/s in FPGAs using a soft controller is an industry first, and another demonstration of technical leadership from Rambus. This capability expands the use models of FPGAs by enabling multi-instance, switching, and bridging applications and accelerates the performance of FPGAs used in defense, networking, and test and measurement markets.

Features of the Rambus PCIe 5.0 Digital Controller: Verified on leading FPGA platforms; Supports up to 32 GT/s data rates; Backward compatible to PCIe 4.0 and 3.1/3.0; Supports Endpoint, Root-port, Dual-mode, and Switch-port configurations; Supports up to 64 Physical Functions (PF), 512 Virtual Functions (VF); Supports AER, ECRC, ECC, MSI, MSI-X, multi-function, crosslink, DOE, CMA over DOE, and other optional features and ECNs;
