4.3.4 PCI Clock Buffer
The COM Express Specification only supports a single PCI clock signal called
'PCI_CLK' to be used on the carrier board. If there are multiple devices or slots
implemented on the carrier board, a zero delay clock buffer is required to expand the
number of PCI clocks so that each device or each bus slot will be provided with a
separate clock signal.

4.3.5 PCI Routing Guideline
Particular attention must be paid to the PCI clock routing. The PCI Local Bus
specification requires a maximum propagation delay for the clock signals of 10ns
within a propagation skew of 2ns @ 33MHz between the several clock signals. The
COM Express Specification allows 1.6ns ± 0.1ns @ 33MHz propagation delay for the
PCI clock signal beginning from the module pin to the destination pin of the PCI device.
The propagation delay is dependent on the trace geometries, PCB stack-up and the
PCB dielectric constant. Calculating using a typical propagation delay value of
180ps/inch for an internal layer clock trace of the carrier board, a maximum trace
length of 8.88 inches is allowed.
The clock trace from the COM Express module to a PCI bus slot should be 2.5 inches
shorter because PCI cards are specified to have 2.5 inches of clock trace length on
the card itself. PCI clock signals should be routed as a single ended trace with a trace
impedance of 55Ω. To reduce EMI, a single ground referenced internal layer is
recommended. The clock traces should be separated as far as possible from other
