<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 />
