    Web site: www.picmg.org. There is a fee for the document. Understanding ETXexpress Functionality The ETXexpress-WPM Type 3 Module contains two mounting connectors, each of which has two rows. The primary connector holds Row A and Row B. The secondary connector holds Row C and D.

  • Page 19: Etxexpress Reference Documents

    Initial bit rates for PCI Express reach 2.5Gb/s per lane direction, which equate to data transfer rates of approximately 200MB/s. A group of companies, headed by Kontron, developed the COM Express™ Specification so that high-speed interconnects such as USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet would have an I/O architecture suitable for their high...
