SAN JOSE, Calif.: #WeConnect--Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (Credo) (NASDAQ: CRDO), an innovator in providing connectivity at scale through fast, reliable, and energy-efficient system solutions, today announced that its Toucan Gen6x16 PCI Express® (PCIe®) retimer has successfully achieved PCI-SIG® 6.x retimer compliance at 64.0 GT/s and is now listed on the PCI-SIG Integrators List.

Key points:

• Credo's Toucan Gen6x16 PCIe retimer successfully completed PCI-SIG 6.x retimer compliance testing at the recent PCI-SIG Compliance Workshop which concluded on July 31.
• Toucan is now listed on the PCI-SIG Integrators List, giving customers added confidence in standards-based PCIe 6.0 deployment.
• The compliance milestone validates Toucan across electrical compliance, interoperability, and expanded PCIe 6.0 retimer protocol requirements.
• Toucan combines PCIe 6.0 performance with DSP-based SerDes, low-power operation and deep diagnostics through PILOT software.

Purpose-Built for Next-Gen Platforms

Toucan retimers address integration challenges in AI, HPC, and accelerated compute environments with:

• PCIe 6.0 technology-compatible interoperability
• Low-power design for dense accelerator platforms
• Advanced debug and diagnostics through award-winning PILOT tool
• Architecture aligned with PCIe 7.0 technology roadmaps

“As AI infrastructure scales from individual servers to rack-scale and cluster-scale architectures, the role of PCIe architecture connectivity becomes increasingly important," said Vishal Shah, Vice President of Product at Credo. “Achieving PCIe 6.0 specification compliance and inclusion on the PCI-SIG Integrators List validates the ability of Credo’s PCIe retimer to deliver the signal integrity, interoperability, diagnostics, and power efficiency required by next-generation AI systems. This milestone gives customers confidence that Toucan is ready for production deployment in the most demanding accelerated computing environments.”

“We congratulate Credo on achieving PCI-SIG 6.x compliance for its Toucan retimers,” said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairperson. “Industry collaboration and adherence to open standards are essential to advancing the PCI Express technology ecosystem.”

Key Customer Benefits

• PCIe 6.0 specification x16 readiness for AI, HPC, cloud, and accelerated compute platforms.
• Reduced integration and qualification risk through standards-based validation.
• Faster platform bring-up and root-cause debug using PILOT diagnostics and telemetry.
• Reliable operation across complex high-speed topologies and high-loss channels.
• Low-power design for dense accelerator and server environments.

The successful completion of PCI-SIG 6.x retimer testing underscores Credo's continued execution in high-speed connectivity and reinforces Toucan as a key building block for reliable PCIe 6.0 technology deployment in modern AI infrastructure.
