Synopsys’ DesignWare LE IP for PCI Express (PCIe) is optimized for ASIC and FPGA designs that utilize a single lane (x1) PCI Express endpoint interface. This cost-effective solution provides ease-of- use features to simplify the complexities of transitioning to PCI Express for applications requiring a single lane, such as existing PCI/PCI-X designs, ExpressCards, Ethernet controllers, SATA controllers and wireless hubs. By maintaining interface compatibility, designers can upgrade to a full-featured version when future designs require additional functionality. The silicon-proven DesignWare LE IP is a part of Synopsys' complete PCI Express IP portfolio and has successfully passed the PCI Express compliance testing at the PCI-SIG interoperability workshops.
