PCI Express Solutions

PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high performance, scalable, well defined standard for a wide variety of computing and communications platforms. It has been defined to provide software compatibility with existing PCI drivers and operating systems.

Lattice provides customers with low-cost and low-power programmable solutions that are ready-to-use right out of the box. For PCI Express a full suite of tested and interoperable solutions is available that includes:

• Silicon
• IP
• Development Kit, Boards & Demos
• Partner Solutions
• Test & Interop Reports
