PCI Express
The Cyclone Vdevices have PCIe Hard IP that is designed for performance, ease-of-use, and increased
functionality. The Hard IP consists of the media access control (MAC) lane, data link, and transaction layers.
The PCIe Hard IP supports the PCIe Gen1 end point and root port up to x4 lane configurations. The PCIe
endpoint support includes multifunction support for up to eight functions and Gen2 x4 lane configurations.

The Cyclone V PCIe Hard IP operates independently from the core logic, which allows the PCIe link to
wake up and complete link training in less than 100 ms while the Cyclone V device completes loading the
programming file for the rest of the device.
In addition, the Cyclone V device PCIe Hard IP has improved end-to-end datapath protection using error
correction code (ECC).
