COM Express Interfaces

Figure 14:

PCIe Mini Card Reference Circuitry

A PCI Express Mini Card schematic example is shown in Figure 14 above. The reference clock
pair is sourced from the zero delay clock buffer shown earlier in Figure 6 'PCIe Reference Clock
Buffer'
on page 35 above. The clock pair is enabled when the PCI Express Mini-Card pulls its
CLKREQ# pin low.

The example shows COM Express PCIe lane 1 and USB port 0 used, but other assignments
may be made depending on Module capabilities and the system configuration.

If Suspend mode operation is not required, then the 3.3VAUX pin may be tied to VCC_3V3. The
WAKE# pin should be left open in this case.

ExpressCard
ExpressCards are small form factor hot-swappable peripheral cards designed primarily for
mobile computing. The card’s electrical interface is through either a x1 PCIe link or a USB 2.0
link. Per the ExpressCard source specification, the host interface should support both the PCIe
and USB links. The ExpressCard device may utilize one or the other or both interfaces.

There are several form factors defined, including: 34mm x 75mm; 54mm x 75mm; 34mm x
100mm, and 54mm x 100mm. All of the form factors use the same electrical and physical socket
interface.
ExpressCards are the successor to Card Bus Cards (which are PCI-based). Card Bus cards, in
turn, are the successors to PCMCIA cards. All three formats are defined by the PCMCIA
Consortium.

The source specification document for ExpressCards is the ExpressCard Standard.
COM Express includes four signals that are designated for the support of two ExpressCard slots:
