Key Points
• PCIe advances from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 7.0
by increasing bandwidth and shifting to
PAM4 signaling.
• PAM4 changes how embedded systems
approach material choices, routing strategies,
and channel budgets.
• Retimers, redrivers, and high-speed switches
extend PCIe reach and unlock datacenter-class
topologies for embedded platforms.
• Microchip strengthens this push with switches,
retimers, and diagnostic capabilities that
help designers adopt higher PCIe generations
without increasing system complexity.
