Abstract
In this paper, we design a PCI Express controller for future communication system The controller supports the full functionality of Transaction Layer and Data Link Layer of PCI Express. The designed controller has the proposed transmitter buffer architecture to obey Replay mechanism. This scheme merges the transmitting buffer and the replay buffer. The proposed buffer has the higher data transfer efficiency than the conventional buffer architecture because it can dynamically adjust size of a replay buffer space. We also design transmitter of Transmitter Transaction Layer to effectively support the proposed buffer, The receiver device of PCI Express must possess the buffer for three types of transaction to support Flow Control. And it must report the amount of the buffer space regularly to the Port at the opposite end of the link. We propose the simple receiver buffer scheme using only one buffer to easily support Flow Control. And the designed controller is verified under proposed test bench
