NVMe-IP

NVMe IP core is standalone NVMe Host Controller with built-in optimized PCIe Bridge and Internal Memory Buffer, designed to handle NVMe Protocol without need CPU/OS and External DDR memory. It’s recommended for the application which requires high performance, high storage capacity, very compact system size and easily to support multiple NVMe SSDs.

NVMeG4 IP including PCIe Gen4 Soft IP inside enable the NVMe SSD interface for non-embedded PCIe Gen4 Hard IP Devices. Break the barriers of NVMe interface, Allow to build multi-channel RAID system with very high performance and lowest possible FPGA resources consumption. Learn more about NVMeG4 IP
This IP core license includes the reference design for Xilinx FPGA boards. It helps you to reduce development time and cost.

raNVMe-IP (Random Access) is the new generation of NVMe-IP series which is intentionally optimized for random access and low latency time. raNVMe-IP can achieve more than 500K IOPS for random write access on high performance NVMe SSD without CPU intervention. Ideal for the application which requires multiple access to NVMe SSD with best performance. Learn more about raNVMe IP
