PCI
Peripheral Component Interconnect—A high-performance expansion
bus architecture originally developed by Intel to replace ISA and
EISA. It achieved widespread acceptance as a standard for PCs and
workstations; it offers a theoretical maximum transfer rate of
132 Mbytes/s.
PCI card edge
connector
The PCI card edge connector is the row of metal contacts along the
bottom edge of a PCI plug-in card. The details for this connector are
defined by the
PCI Specification
.
PCI Express
A scalable full-simplex serial bus standard that operates at 2.5 Gbps
and offers both asynchronous and isochronous data transfers. Also
known as PCIe.
PCI Express-to-PCI
bridge
The
PCI Express Base Specification
defines a PCI Express-to-PCI
bridge as a device that connects a PCI Express fabric and a PCI
hierarchy. A PCI Express-to-PCI bridge enables certain MXI-Express
x1 products to interface with PCI or PXI slots.
PCI Express x1 card
edge connector
The card edge connector allows you to use the PCIe-8361/8362/8363 in
a x1 or wider PCI Express slot in a PC. The
PCI Express Card
Electromechanical Specification
defines this connector.
