The Snowbush integrated solution for PCI Express consists of PHYs, configurable digital controllers, and high performance AMBA 3 AXI or AMBA 2 AHB bridges - all integrated together to provide end-to-end solutions.

By providing integrated deliverables, Snowbush IP reduces the integration risks to a minimum and facilitates the adoption of design for testability (DFT), and the inclusion of mobile features such as ClkReq as well as power management features. The solution has been silicon-tested for compliance and interoperability, and is targeted for high performance ASIC/SoCs. The integrated solution is supported by superior documentation and application notes, and our customers receive the highest quality of support directly from our team of design engineers during the IP integration and silicon bring-up stages.

The integrated PCI Express IP block-PHY and Controller-delivers the following benefits:

• Validated integration of the PCI Express power management
• Minimizes time, effort and risk associated with customer integration
• Streamlined testability and debugability features
• Non-PIPE signals of the PHY are well defined and controlled at the toplevel
