Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a Modular PCIe Unit (MPU), which is a single-lane PCI Express endpoint that can act as either a Stand-Alone Single-Lane or as a (one) Lane in a Multilane Endpoint Unit, composed by cascaded-MPUs. The MPU will include a PCIe link, a PCIe transition, a SoC specific and a PCIe phy that are all unique to the individual MPU. The MPUs are scalable in that a single MPU may be used or, if more MPUs are desired for higher performance, additional MPUs, each of which can be unique, added to create the Multilane Endpoint Unit.

Claim (Index 10):
A device, comprising:\n a host device; a storage device; and an interface device coupled between the host device and the storage device, the interface device including a plurality of modular PCIe units, wherein:\n the plurality of modular PCIe units are coupled together with an interconnection bus; \n the interconnection bus is directly coupled to each modular PCIe unit; and \n at least one of the plurality of modular PCIe units is configured to:\n sequence all transaction layer packets (TLPs) that are generated by a PCIe transaction component; \n ensure reliable delivery of TLPs between two endpoints via an acknowledgement protocol that explicitly requires replay of unacknowledged/bad TLPs; and \n initialize and manage all flow control credits.
