The ET1310 is Agere's first Gigabit Ethernet Controller incorporating a PCI Express interface. It
takes advantage of the high-throughput, low latency capabilities of PCI Express to deliver true
gigabit performance. These enhanced capabilities allow for optimal sizing and utilization of onchip
memory, providing significant power and area savings. This paper discusses the integration
and system verification challenges encountered when integrating the DesignWare IP for PCI
Express into the Agere ET1310 Gigabit Ethernet design. Techniques for configuration of the
DesignWare PCI Express IP are presented that achieve the lowest power, lowest latency and
smallest memory size, as well as optimal system performance.
