Key Points
• PCIe offers scalable bandwidth, consistent
behavior, and cross-architecture compatibility.
• Industrial designers use PCIe 1.0 to PCIe 4.0
because they meet bandwidth requirements
without the cost or complexity of higher-speed
materials and retimers.
• Consolidating legacy interfaces through PCIe
simplifies embedded design within a single
expansion fabric.
• Microchip strengthens the embedded PCIe
ecosystem through compact switches with
integrated industrial endpoints.
