The standard is highly suitable for industrial automation and test in vehicle, mobile, or any other shock / vibration sensitive application. Unlike the original PCI Express bus, Mini PCIe provides both the standard PCI Express and USB 2.0 signals, allowing flexibility in peripheral design.
Designed with the older Mini PCI standard in mind they are the same basic form-factor (commonly used in small-form-factor devices like laptops and other portables) but lack the retention clips of Mini PCI. Suitable for industrial automation and test in vehicle, mobile, or any other shock / vibration sensitive application, mPCIe is a third generation small form factor flexible interface designed for the modern mobile world, leveraging the mature and ubiquitous PCI Express and USB buses.Ĭommonly referred to as mPCIe or Mini PCIe, these devices are a smaller form-factor for PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).
