PCI Express*
PCI Express increases signaling speed and bandwidth of the PCI interface for today’s
desktop and server applications.
PCI Express is a third generation I/O architecture. PCI-SIG recently released the PCI Express
specification to move the PCI interface to faster signaling speeds and provide greater bandwidth. PCI
Express incorporates point-to-point signaling using low voltage differential pairs operating at 2.5
Gbps each direction. This version of PCI Express is expected to be used in desktop PCs, workstations
and servers.
PCI Express provides scaleable bandwidth. A 1-lane (1X) connector can support many of the
conventional PCI functions found in client systems, while a 16-lane (16X) connector provides the
bandwidth needed for supporting graphics processing, InfiniBand† and 10G Fibre Channel.
Features and Benefits
■ Complies with the PCI-SIG specification for
seamless desktop PCI Express
implementation
■ Supports 2.5 Gbps data transfer for faster
signaling
■ Scaleable design maximizes card
interoperability, allowing customers to plug
add-in cards of smaller or equal bandwidth
into the edgecard connector
■
■
Enable hotswap add-in cards for plug-andplay applications
Simple through hole layout for easy PCB
processing
