PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT EXPRESS (PCI-E) SIGNAL TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

A PCI-E signal transmission apparatus and an image forming apparatus using the same are provided. The PCI-E signal transmission apparatus includes a controller board, and at least one unit board which is connected to the controller board through a differential signal transmission cable, which uses a PCI-E protocol, to transceive data. Therefore, it is possible to transmit a signal using an inexpensive cable at a high speed.
