User manual QUATECH PCI EXPRESS DATASHEET

[. . . ] PCI Express Connectivity Products PX series - Serial, Parallel Product Lines dedicated to the device while multiple PCI Express devices can be active without interfering with each other. [. . . ] In addition to the bus technology upgrades, such as faster speeds and deeper FIFO rates, PCI Express touts many advantages over the traditional PCI card including point-to-point link dedicated to each device, instead of PCI shared bus; lower latency in server architectures due to a more direct connection to the chip set; small connectors with easier implementation for system designers and advanced features via isochronous channels for guaranteed bandwidth delivery, advanced power management and hot swap support. Support for real-time data traffic Hot plug and hot swap Data integrity and error handling Compliant with PCI Express Base Specification 1. 0a Variety of configurations: serial, parallel, serial and parallel 2, 4 or 6 port configurations Advanced architecture making use of point-to-point technologies Data bus transfer rate of up to 2. 5Gbps under one-lane operation 1. 5 times faster compared to existing 32 bit PCI bus Broad product offering with multiple serial/parallel I/O configurations PCI Express vs. Universal PCI Although PCI and UPCI Cards can be used in a variety of platforms, PCI Express reflects an industry trend to replace legacy shared parallel buses with high-speed serial buses. They both have the same dimensions and are equipped with rear brackets, the difference lies in the I/O connectors. PCI Express has 36 pins versus the 120 pins on a standard PCI connector. Model Selection Guide Model No. Description PCI Express Technology PCI Express cards are available in 2, 4 or 6 port serial card configurations and offer high-speed, serial I/O bus that maintains backward compatibility with PCI applications and drivers.
