PCI Express for Avant FPGAs

Flexible, High-Performance, Easy-to-use Transaction Layer Interface to the PCI Express Bus

The Lattice PCIe x8 IP Core provides a flexible, high-performance, easy-to-use Transaction Layer Interface to the PCI Express Bus. The Lattice PCIe x8 IP Core implementation is a hardened IP with soft logic provided for interface conversion options. The hardened IP is an integration of PHY and Link Layer blocks.

Resource Utilization details are available in the IP Core User Guide.

The Hard IP PHY key features include:

  • Aggregation and bifurcation up to x4 lanes and x8 lanes PHY configuration
  • Data rates of 2.5 Gbps, 5.0 Gbps, 8.0 Gbps, and 16.0 Gbps
  • Selectable parallel data widths such as 8, 16, 32, 64
  • 8b/10b encoding at 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps, and 128b/130b encoding at 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps

The Hard IP Link Layer key features include:

  • PCI Express Base Specification Revision 4.0 compliant including compliance with earlier PCI Express Specifications.
  • Backward compatible with PCI Express 3.x, 2.x, 1.x
  • x8 PCI Express Lanes with support for bifurcation. Supported lane configurations:
    • Radiant 2023.2 – 1 × 4, 1 × 2, 1 × 1
    • Radiant 2024.1 and future Radiant releases – 1 × 8, 1 × 4, 1 × 2, 1 × 1
  • 16.0GT/s, 8.0GT/s, 5.0 GT/s, and 2.5 GT/s line rate support

The Soft IP features include:

  • TLP Data Interface
  • AXI4-Stream Data Interface Option
  • LMMI Register Interfaces
  • AXI-L Register Interface
