5.10.3.4 PCI Express Topology #2 and #3 – Device Down Routing
Both the ExpressCard and the docking topologies allow a maximum of 10 inches
from SOM-Express pin to the pin of the down device. This maximum length takes into
account all routing, including the breakout region, which should not exceed 0.25
inches per device. The TX and RX pairs must be routed interleaved, such that the
pairs alternate between TX and RX on the carrier board to reduce crosstalk for
microstrip and stripline topologies.
