PCI-Express

closed account (zb0S216C)
Who here has knowledge of the PCI-Express component?

I already know that a PCI-E has lanes( which depend on x1, x4, etc... ) which consist of 2 wires. One wire receives while the other transmits. Each wire can transfer 1-bit each cycle simultaneously. However, the lane is a full-duplex system.

I need clarification from you guys. Is this information correct?
It looks good so far. Wikipedia has a nice article on PCI-E: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Architecture

According to the article each "lane" has 4 wires, they signal based on the differential between the two wires so those four wires form two pairs giving the lane a full duplex capability.
