Description
PCI Express (PCIe)
Peripheral Component Interface Express – next-generation high speed Serialized I/O bus
PCI Express Lane
One PCI Express Lane is a set of 4 signals that contains two differential lines for
Transmitter and two differential lines for Receiver. Clocking information is embedded into the data stream.
x1, x2, x4, x16
x1 refers to one PCI Express Lane of basic bandwidth; x2 to a collection of two PCI Express Lanes; etc.. Also referred to as x1, x2, x4 or x16 link.
PCI Express Mini Card
PCI Express Mini Card add-in card is a small size unique form factor optimized for mobile computing platforms.
MMCplus
MMCplus was defined for first time in MMC System Specification v4.0. MMCplus is backward compatible with MMC. MMCplus has 13 pins.
