3.9. PCIe Interface
RM500Q-AE&RM502Q-AE modules provide one integrated PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express) interface which complies with the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 3.0 and supports up
to 8 Gbps per lane.
⚫ PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.0 compliant
⚫ Data rate up to 8 Gbps per lane
The following table shows the pin definition of PCIe interface.
