AMD offers two PCIe® integrated blocks in the AMD UltraScale+™ architecture. The PCIe4 block is found in all UltraScale+ devices that support the PCIe IP. AMD Virtex UltraScale+ devices with high bandwidth memory (HBM) contain a mixture of the PCIE4 blocks as well as enhanced PCIE4C blocks. The PCIE4C integrated blocks are functionally equivalent to PCIE4 and also support PCIe Gen3 x16 in the -2LV speed grade. The minimum device requirements for the core are as follows:

Table 1. Minimum Device Requirements for PCIE4
Capability Link Speed Capability Link Widths Supported Speed Grades
Gen1/Gen2 x16 -1, -1L, -1LV, -2, -2L, -2LV, -3
Gen3 x16 -1, -1L, -2, -2L, -3
x8 NL 1 -1, -1L, -1LV, -2, -2L, -2LV, -3
x8 LL 2 -1, -1L, -2, -2L, -3
  1. x8 NL = Gen3 x8 Normal Latency (core_clock = 250 MHz).
  2. x8 LL = Gen3 x8 Low Latency (core_clock = 500 MHz).

Gen1/Gen2 x16 -1, -2, -2L, -2LV, -3
Gen3 x16 -1, -2, -2L, -2LV, -3
x8 NL -1, -2, -2L, -2LV, -3
x8 LL -1, -2, -2L, -3
Gen4 x8 -2, -2L, -3
