<strong>PCIe</strong> Lane Attributes<br />
n<br />
Key design attributes for a <strong>PCIe</strong> Lane are:<br />
l<br />
Basic Lane<br />
– Dual unidirectional differential Links (Transmit and Receive)<br />
– Data clock embedded using 8B/10B encoding<br />
• Maximum data throughput is 2 Gbps (enhancements planned)<br />
l<br />
Signaling<br />
– Once initialized, each <strong>PCIe</strong> Link must operate at one of the<br />
supported signaling levels<br />
• Only currently defined signaling level is 2.5 Gbps/Lane/direction<br />
of raw bandwidth (enhancements planned)<br />
n<br />
A <strong>PCIe</strong> Link is composed of one or more lanes<br />
