AB18-PCIeX16

Cross-connect PCIe host and device lanes to build loopbacks and custom topologies for NVMe and PCIe evaluation.

AB18-PCIeX16 provides two x16 PCIe sockets with internal TX and RX crossover so you can connect an FPGA board to a PCIe device or to another board. It supports 1, 4, 8, and 16 lane configurations for flexible prototyping.

Highlights

  • Two PCIe x16 sockets with internal crossover routing
  • Supports x1, x4, x8, and x16 link widths
  • Simplifies host to device, device to device, and loopback topologies
  • Useful for NVMe-IP bring up and PCIe path debugging
