Cadence Achieves PCIe 5.0 Specification Compliance for PHY and Controller IP in TSMC Advanced Technologies
June 21 2022 - 10:45AM
Business Wire
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
its PHY and Controller IP for the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 5.0
specification in the TSMC N7, N6 and N5 process technologies have
passed certification tests from PCI-SIG® at the industry’s first
event for PCIe 5.0 specification compliance held in April. The
Cadence® solutions were tested to their full potential and complied
with the full speed of 32GT/s for PCIe 5.0 technology. The
compliance program provides designers with testing procedures to
assess that the PCIe 5.0 interfaces on their system-on-chip (SoC)
designs will operate as expected.
The Cadence IP for PCIe 5.0 technology consists of a PHY,
companion controller and Verification IP (VIP) targeted at SoC
designs for very high-bandwidth hyperscale computing, networking
and storage applications. With Cadence’s PHY and Controller
Subsystem for PCIe 5.0 architecture, customers can design extremely
power-efficient SoCs while accelerating time to market.
“We are pleased Cadence has certified its comprehensive IP
family for compliance with the PCIe 5.0 protocol on TSMC’s advanced
processes,” said Suk Lee, vice president of the Design
Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “Our continued close
collaboration with Cadence is helping our mutual customers meet the
stringent power and performance requirements and accelerate silicon
innovation with leading-edge design solutions benefiting from
TSMC’s advanced technologies.”
“With the lowest power consumption in the market as validated by
our customers, Cadence’s certified PHY and Controller IP for PCIe
5.0 enables them to develop extremely power-efficient SoCs,” said
Sanjive Agarwala, corporate vice president and general manager of
the IP Group at Cadence. “With our multi-lane subsystem-on-a-chip
solution, our customers can see IP compliance being achieved in
form factors that match their target applications.”
“Consistent with previous testing, Cadence’s PHY and controller
test chips for the PCIe 5.0 specification showed robust performance
in compliance tests on our Xgig exerciser and analyzer platform,”
said Tom Fawcett, senior vice president and general manager, Lab
& Production Business Unit, VIAVI Solutions. “Cadence is at the
leading edge of high-bandwidth hyperscale SoC IP, and their
successful track record in PCI-SIG compliance events should project
continued confidence in their solutions and the technology as a
whole.”
“Intel is dedicated to industry-wide innovation and rigorous
compatibility testing through the open PCI Express standard,” said
Jim Pappas, director of Technology Initiatives, Intel Corporation.
“Cadence’s latest PHY and Controller IP demonstrate their
commitment to PCIe 5.0 performance and interoperability with our
12th Gen Intel Core and 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable platforms.”
“As a long-standing PCI-SIG member, Cadence plays a role in the
advancement of PCIe technology,” said Al Yanes, President and
Chairperson of PCI-SIG. “By participating in the compliance
program, Cadence is helping to further the continued adoption of
the PCIe architecture.”
The Cadence IP for PCIe 5.0 architecture supports the company’s
Intelligent System Design™ strategy, which enables advanced-node
SoC design excellence. The PCIe 5.0 Design Kits for TSMC’s N7, N6
and N5 process technologies are available for licensing and
delivery now. Cadence’s comprehensive portfolio of design IP
solutions in the TSMC advanced processes also includes 112G, 56G,
die-to-die (D2D) and advanced memory IP solutions.
