Achronix declares PCI-SIG(R) compliance for Hardened PCI Express

Achronix Semiconductor Corporation has announced that its 22nm Speedster22i devices have achieved PCI-SIG compliance with the PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 Specification for x8 lanes. The Speedster22i devices successfully passed the PCI-SIG Compliance and Interoperability Tests at the PCI-SIG workshop and are now included in the PCI-SIG integrators list. Based on Intel's 22nm Tri-gate technology, Speedster22i devices are the only FPGAs shipping today that contain a wide range of embedded hard IP, including PCI Express Gen3 with integrated DMA Engine, DDR3, 100G Ethernet and Interlaken.

"We embedded the Northwest Logic PCI Express IP because it is an industry-leading, silicon-proven solution. Our customers require fully proven functional solutions and that is what we are delivering with the embedded IP in our 22nm Speedster22i devices," said Steve Mensor, Vice-President – Marketing, Achronix.

The Speedster22i HD1000 and HD680 devices are shipping from May 6, 2014 and have the following embedded hard IP: PCIe Gen3 x8 controllers, DDR 2/3 controllers, 10/40/100G Ethernet controllers and 12x10G Interlaken controllers.
