Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention The present invention relates to an electronic device and a computer system with a fast serial interface. Various notebook personal computers (hereinafter referred to as notebook PCs) have been developed so that users can easily carry them and operate on batteries. Some notes PC are assembled as an expansion unit to expand their functionality if needed. In order to allow the notebook PC host to effectively use the resources of the expansion unit, it is important to connect the bus of the notebook PC host to the bus of the expansion unit. This bus connection enables the devices on the expansion unit bus to be processed similar to the devices in the notebook PC host. Many personal computers use a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus. Therefore, a note host and an expansion unit typically take notes via a docking connector provided with a group of pins having a signal line such as a PCI bus. The buses of the PC host and the expansion unit are connected together so that the two PCI buses can be completely connected together via a docking connector. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs -------------- Moi I (Please read the L notice on the back ★ Fill in β page) This configuration, however, is for assembly The connector requires a large area and is therefore a disadvantage in reducing the size and thickness of the notebook PC host. Further, the mounting position of the connector on the PC host must be compatible with the mounting position of the connector on the expansion unit, so that the actual housing structure is limited in the development of new products. Therefore, there is a growing need to connect the PCI bus through a fast serial interface. The fast serial interface allows the notebook PC host and the expansion unit to be connected together via a thin and flexible serial cable. However, the production of a fast serial interface needs to be about 10 times the size of the PCI paper. Applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ^ 548532 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) High frequency sends multiple signals to the note PC. Strict conditions are expected to be required for maintenance. For example, transmission between 1 and the expansion unit, because each signal is connected through the expansion unit through the cable is usually used as a connector. Or something similar for convenience. This is because the connectors have terminals with different internal structures. If the signal has a low-frequency sub-structure, the anti-rose fruit grows more clockwise. Therefore, to make a serial transmission system between the host and the expansion unit, it is necessary that the difference in delay between signals (skew) is less than OOP S. To prevent skewing around the connector on the note PC host is a special repeater transmission, which allows the note PC host to be together. The signal pin designation is typically based on production, but for this method it is difficult to fully prevent crooked terminals. Maybe they have different internal structures and because of different contact lengths, inductance, or capacitance are not so bad, but with increasing frequency band End addition makes sense.
