3.5. Clocks

The PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 2.0 defines the input reference clock. It is a 100 MHz ±300 ppm. The motherboard drives this clock to the PCIe card. The PCIe card is not required to use the reference clock received from the connector. However, the PCIe card must provide a 100 MHz ±300 ppm to the refclk input pin. This input reference clock must be stable and free-running at device power-up for a successful configuration of the device.
