The SoC has up to 16 PCI Express* ports depending on product SKU. Each port consists 

of a Transmitter differential pair and a Receiver differential pair which are in the 1.0-

Volt Core power well of the SoC.

• PCIE_TXP[15:0], PCIE_TXN[15:0] (Low Voltage Differential)
• PCIE_RXP[15:0], PCIE_RXN[15:0] (Low Voltage Differential)

See Section 4.3. Electrical Sub-Block of the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 

2.1 for DC and AC timing specifications for the host Transmitter and Receiver channels. 

The SoC supports devices with 5.0 GT/s and 2.5 GT/s capabilities.

The SoC electrical requirements for the PCIe* differential reference clock inputs are in 

.

The SoC provides an integrated SMBus controller and interface that can be used in a 

PCI Express* interface design. The electrical characteristics are in 

The SoC provides a Platform Reset output signal pin, PMU_PLTRST_B, and a 

PMU_WAKE_B input signal pin that can be used by the platform board design to create 

the PCIe interface signals PERST# and WAKE# respectively. The electrical 

characteristics for these signals are in 

.

The SoC provides two general-purpose clock output pins from the SoC clock control 

unit. The signals are called FLEX_CLK_SE0 and FLEX_CLK_SE1. The electrical 

characteristics are in
