MoSys, PLDA to deliver complete PCI Express 2.0 and 3.0 IP solutions

SUNNYVALE, USA: MoSys Inc., a leading provider of differentiated, high-density memory and high-speed interface (I/O) intellectual property (IP), and PLDA, the leader in high speed bus IP, have partnered to deliver complete PCI Express 2.0 and 3.0 PHY and controller IP solutions.

The first integrated offering will combine MoSys’ PCI Express 2.0 PHY with PLDA’s XpressRich2 controller. The companies are also working together to provide an integrated PCI Express 3.0 solution.
