GPEX-AS is a highly flexible and configurable end point controller IP targeted for both PCIExpress and Advanced Switching technology implementations in compute and communication applications. GPEX-AS is part of GDA's PCIExpress (GPEX) family of IP solutions, which includes End Point (GPEX-EP) and Root Complex (GPEX-RC) designs. GPEX-AS supports both PCI-Express and AS protocols. It supports PCI-express end-point and root complex functions, and AS port controller logic for a wide range of applications such as native AS node, leaf bridge, root bridge and switch. The controller architecture is tailored to address the needs of different market segments with highly configurable system PIs and support for PI-8, SLS, SQ and SDT. GPEX-AS architecture offers High performance, High link utilization, Low latency, Low power consumption and Small silicon footprint. It's simple, configurable, layered architecture is independent of application logic, PHY designs, implementation tools and the target technology.

It can be easily used in FPGA, Gate Array and Standard Cell technologies optimally.
