PCI Express 

The Carrier board is designed to fit entirely into a PC motherboard with PCI Express Gen3 x4 via 

Thunderbolt 3 Port. Utilizing built-in transceivers on a Stratix 10 device, it is able to provide a fully 

integrated PCI Express-compliant solution for multi-lane (x1, x4) applications. With the PCI Express 

hard IP block incorporated in the Stratix 10 device, it will allow users to implement simple and fast 

protocol,  as  well  as  saving  logic  resources  for  logic  application. 

Figure  2-10

  presents  the  pin 

connection established between the Stratix 10 and PCI Express. 

 

The  PCI  Express  interface  supports  complete  PCI  Express  Gen1  at  2.5Gbps/lane,  Gen2  at 

5.0Gbps/lane,  and  Gen3  at  8.0Gbps/lane  protocol  stack  solution  compliant  to  PCI  Express  base 

specification 3.0 that includes PHY-MAC, data Link, and transaction layer circuitry embedded in PCI 

Express hard IP blocks.
