Broadcom announced the availability of its end-to-end PCIe Gen 6 portfolio. Broadcom has further extended its multi-generational PCIe leadership by allowing early access to its PCIe Gen 6 Interop Development Platform (IDP), which simplifies interoperability and system design with its advanced telemetry and diagnostics capabilities. Broadcom, in collaboration with Micron and Teledyne LeCroy, also successfully tested its high-port switch and retimer for interoperability and compliance enablement to empower open AI infrastructure solutions.
The AI industry, including hyperscalers and system ODM/OEMs, is now designing next-generation AI rack solutions based on the Broadcom PCIe Gen 6 connectivity portfolio. The Broadcom connectivity portfolio utilizes its in-house SerDes, which is also used in custom XPUs. Additionally, the design features include extended reach, lower power dissipation, and simplified interop and end-to-end management. Together, this ensures that the open AI infrastructure ecosystem is powered by scalable and power efficient interconnect solutions.
By collaborating with PCIe industry leaders like Micron and Teledyne LeCroy for early enablement and testing, Broadcom assures customers of fully validated PCIe Gen 6 building blocks to meet the rigorous demands of AI platforms and workloads.
- Broadcom and Teledyne LeCroy have joined forces to provide the AI infrastructure ecosystem with a solid, reliable base for PCIe testing. Their deep collaboration and commitment has resulted in the enablement of compliance testing across a cutting-edge PCIe portfolio featuring their robust protocol analyzer/exerciser and PCIe switch.
- Micron is the first to develop PCIe Gen 6 NVMe SSD technology for ecosystem enablement. To advance this effort, the company collaborated with Broadcom and Teledyne LeCroy by providing an ultra-high-performance storage solution for testing. The tests validated functionality for a Gen 6 ecosystem comprised of switches, retimers, NVMe SSDs and protocol analyzers.
- At the PCI-SIG Developers Conference, all three companies successfully demonstrated PCIe 6.x interoperability and early compliance tests on their Gen 6 solutions marking a significant milestone as key PCIe Gen 6 ecosystem enablers become equipped to power AI innovations.
