Following the recent Announcement of MoU between the CXL Consortium™ and the Gen-Z Consortium™, PLDA Launches their XpressLINK™ CXL IP, providing an immediate Compute Express Link solution for SoC developers

100% of PLDA employees in Aix-en-Provence, Hsinchu, San Jose, Shanghai and Sofia are fully operational and are working  remotely. For some activities that sometimes require an absolute presence at the office, such as administration and laboratory tasks, strict rules have been put in place to keep PLDA’s collaborators safe, along with their families and other people from our communities.

In this video, we walk through the PLDA XpressRICH-AXI™ IP wizard.
PLDA XpressRICH-AXI Controller IP is the #1 choice for ASIC, SoC and FPGA designers looking for an enterprise-class PCIe interface solution with a high-performance, reliable, and scalable AMBA 3 AXI/AMBA 4 AXI interconnect. 

PLDA’s controller IP with AXI interconnect passed all Gold and Interoperability tests as an endpoint device at PCIe® 4.0 architecture speed (16 GT/s)

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® (PCIe®) IP and data interconnect solutions, today announced that their XpressRICH-AXI™ PCIe Controller IP passed all Gold and Interoperability tests at the PCI-SIG® Compliance Workshop, held in December 2019 in Burlingame, CA. PLDA’s XpressRICH-AXI Controller IP for the PCIe 4.0 specification was tested running on an FPGA based add-in card Gen4ENDPOINT.

PLDA’s INSPECTOR diagnostic and debug tool for PCIe 4.0 ​that successfully passed the PCIe 4.0 PCI-SIG compliance has two new major features:

• Analog monitoring: The Inspector V2.2 allows now to measure in live the DUT power consumption (3.3V / 12V) and the Inspector temperature. These indications are displayed using dynamic and easily readable charts. This can help SDDs vendors to quickly characterize the impact of PCI-Express low power modes or high throughputs for example.

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® and high-speed  interconnect solutions, today announced an augmented presence in the APAC region, focused on expanding their R&D, Sales and Support staff, and on the launch of a new, Chinese-language version of the PLDA website.

According to market research firm IC Insights, fabless chip companies based in China accounted for 13% of the world’s $109.4 billion in 2018 IC sales, up from 5% in 2010, while Taiwan was maintaining 2nd place on the IC sales rankings with 16% of fabless revenue in 2018. In addition, China and the APAC region manufactures 80% of the world’s PCIe based products. It makes obvious sense, therefore, for PLDA to enhance its presence in the region. 

PLDA’s INSPECTOR diagnostic and debug tool for PCIe 4.0 passed all Gold and Interoperability tests for systems with CEM slots

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology and high-speed interconnect solutions, today announced that their PCIe 4.0 INSPECTOR™ diagnostic and debug platform passed all Gold and Interoperability tests for the PCIe 4.0 root port systems performed by the PCI-SIG® during their Compliance Workshop, held in October 2019 in Taiwan.

In this video, we talk about the PLDA XpressRICH IP wizard which has been designed to enable PCIe designers to easily configure their PCIe controller as required for their application.
