A PCIe Gen3 x8 FMC Module (or PCIe Gen3 x8 FMC Carrier Card) is a specialized hardware component designed for high-performance computing, data acquisition, and rapid prototyping. It bridges two key industry standards:
-
PCI Express Gen3 x8: A bus standard delivering theoretical transfer rates of roughly 8.0 GB/s (64 Gbps aggregate) across 8 bi-directional lanes.
-
FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card / VITA 57.1): An ANSI/VITA standard defining compact mezzanine expansion cards that connect directly to host FPGA boards via High Pin Count (HPC) or Low Pin Count (LPC) connectors.
