PRODUCTION DATA.
Figure 44 shows a typical application in which the receiver is off-board. The PCIe Specification (CEM2.0) requires that all source termination is on the motherboard (not on the daughter card). For this reason, the termination resistors are placed as shown. Additionally, source resistors are employed to eliminate ringing. In this case, ZL can vary between 40 Ω and 60 Ω and RS can range from 22 Ω to 33 Ω.
Figure 45 shows a typical application in which the receiver is on-board. In this case, series resistors are not required to eliminate ringing as proper termination is achieved. In this case, two termination resistors, ZL = 49.9 Ω, are placed close to the receiver.
