About PCI Express

Synopsys Verification IP (VIP) for PCIe provides verification of design implementations based on all PCIe specifications (PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) which can be used in SoCs and System Level Desings to accelerate verification closure. Synopsys VIP provides support for various Interfaces- Serial, PIPE, PIE8, and SerDes. Synopsys PCIe VIP provides verification for Root Complex and End Point device configurations.
