  • Patent number: 11251576
    Abstract: Apparatuses and systems associated with expansion card design with a coherent connector to provide for coherent communication are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a circuit card may comprise an integrated circuit (IC), a first connector to couple the IC to a processor of a computer device, the first connector to provide for non-coherent communication between the IC and the processor, and a second connector to couple the IC to the processor, the second connector to provide for coherent communication between the IC and the processor. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20190034372
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for multiple device Peripheral Component Interface Express (PCIe) card having a single slot connector and each device interfaces with the single slot connector using distinct, unshared, data lane terminals of the single slot connector. In an example, a PCIe card can include a first device mounted to a circuit board and a second device mounted to the circuit board. The first device can be connected to a first plurality of data lane terminals of a single slot connector of the circuit board. The second device can be connected to a second plurality of data lane terminals of the single slot connector. The first plurality of data lane terminals can be distinct from the second plurality of data lane terminals.
