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.

PCIe Device links as expected (L0 in x8-Gen4) but is not detected by the system

XpressSWITCH Embedded Switch IP for PCIe running on a Bittware 250S+ Near Storage Accelerator card and allowing up to 4 NVMe SSDs to be accessed simultaneously at full PCIe speed.

The combination of PLDA XpressSWITCH Switch IP for PCIe and Bittware 250s+ Storage FPGA card is the ideal solution for building intelligent storage accelerators integrating multiple NVMe SSDs in a compact PCIe form factor.

PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express® IP and interconnect solutions, today announced a major PCIe 5.0 design win on cutting edge 5nm process node. PLDA’s PCIe 5.0 Controller IP was selected not only for its solid design and unmatched compatibility with popular PCIe PHYs, but also for PLDA’s best-in-class tech support, its ease of customization and PLDA’s integration expertise.
