Accelerate Your Pre-Silicon Verification

Today’s complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs and high-performance solutions demand robust, high-speed interfaces that keep pace with evolving market needs. As adopting the PCI Express (PCIe) 6.0 standard gains momentum, design teams face new challenges in ensuring reliable, high-throughput communication for data centers, edge devices, automotive systems, and beyond. That’s where our new ICE PCIe 6.0 speed adapter steps in—providing the ultimate bridge between the Veloce Strato/Strato+ emulation platform and the real world.

Why PCIe 6.0 Matters

PCIe 6.0 represents a significant leap in throughput, doubling the data rate over PCIe 5.0 to 64 GT/s per lane. This breakthrough efficiency supports the exponential growth in data-intensive applications like:

• AI Acceleration and Machine Learning
• High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Center Workloads
• Ultra-Fast Storage (e.g., NVMe SSDs)
• Networking and Cloud Infrastructure
• Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) in automotive

As speeds increase, verification complexity skyrockets. Testing and validating PCIe 6.0 capabilities early in the development cycle is critical to avoid costly silicon re-spins and unexpected integration issues.

iSolve PCIe 6.0: Turnkey Speed Bridge Tailored for Veloce Strato Emulator

By connecting to your existing Veloce Strato or Veloce Strato+ emulator, the iSolve PCIe 6.0 speed adapter offers cycle-accurate and protocol-compliant signals at emulation speeds. Veloce Strato capacity and execution speed enable customers to boot OS, run firmware, and connect real hardware to test thoroughly:

• Upstream or downstream facing designs
• PIPE 6.2.1 Device-Under-Test interface (up to 16 PCIe lanes)
• Gen1 to Gen5 switching with and without equalization
• Fast-side and Slow-side capture of TLPs/DLLPs via USB 3.0 link

You get comprehensive visibility into every handshake, packet, and transaction—ensuring your SoC passes real-world compliance with flying colors.

Early and accurate verification is non-negotiable as we innovate for the PCIe 6.0 era. The Siemens EDA Veloce Strato emulator coupled with the iSolve PCIe 6.0 speed adapter eliminates guesswork by giving you real-world validation at a stage where design changes are still cost-effective. It’s a must-have tool for de-risking your next-generation SoC or system product. Ready to supercharge your emulation environment? Join the PCIe 6.0 revolution with confidence—start emulating today for a tomorrow free of costly re-spins.
