Join Us: Design of PCIe 5.0 Physical Layer

ASU Class 2021 Graduation Project

In Collaboration With Mentor, A Siemens Business

Background

PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a computer expansion standard introduced by Intel in 2004. The latest generations introduced by the PCIe has various improvements over the older standards, including higher maximum bus throughput, lower I/O pin count and smaller physical footprint, better performance scaling for bus devices, and a more detailed error detection and reporting mechanism (Advanced Error Reporting, AER).

Who Can Apply?

Ain Shams University (ASU), Faculty of Engineering, BSc Graduation Project Students Only (Class 2021)

1. Electronics Engineering (ECE)

2. Computer Engineering (CSE)

Project Objectives

The project target is to implement the latest PCIe Physical layer with its features (like: Decoding/Encoding, Byte stripping/un-stripping, Link training, etc.) using Verilog, and verifying the design functionality using Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).

What Skills Should I have?

The project needs highly talented and self-motivated students who are highly interested in working in the digital design and verification field.
