With the ever-growing importance of security, we continue to see strong industry interest in Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE). As with any new technology, questions have been raised and addressed through new errata.

The PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification will provide multiple features, including Transaction Layer Packet (TLP) payload, encoding and decoding, shared credit pooling, Forward Error Correction (FEC), CRC error correction, and more.

Wow, 2020 sure has transformed the ways we connect, learn and innovate in industries around the world, and in our daily lives!

The SD Association (SDA) recently announced SD Express, which adds the PCI Express^® and NVMe™ interfaces to the SD interface. The PCIe^® interface delivers transfer rates up to 985 megabytes per second (MB/s) and supports backward compatibility with existing SD hosts.

PCI Express^® – also known as PCIe – used to get a bad rap for being power hungry on servers and PCs. But I’m happy to say that this is no longer the case. Are you aware that PCIe today is extremely power efficient with built-in low power features?
