Product description: Pineboards Hat uPclty Lite - PCI Express overlay with PCIe x4 slot for Raspberry Pi 5
Hat uPCIty Lite by Pineboards is a PCI Express overlay designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 5 . Thanks to the PCIe x4 slot and support for external power supply and solid security, you can connect even advanced graphics cards such as RTX 4090 to your minicomputer . The board can supply 12 V at 8 A to the card via a standard ATX power connector. You can also use a barrel jack for less demanding applications. The overlay is compatible with the PCIe x1 interface in the Gen2 and Gen3 standards , providing versatile connection options. Compact dimensions and complete equipment with necessary accessories make integrating the tile into any project simple and convenient. Hat uPCIty Lite is the perfect solution for makers and hobbyists who want to test new peripherals in their electronics projects.
The manufacturer recommends using the official 5V/5A power supply for Raspberry Pi 5.

Open ended PCIe x4 slot
PCIe is a modern interface standard for connecting various devices to a computer. The PCIe x4 slot uses four transmission lines to transfer data. Each line consists of a pair of wires, one for transmitting data and one for receiving it. In practice, this gives a total of eight data transmission cables. The more lines, the greater the bandwidth , which translates into faster data transfer. For the PCIe x4 slot, the bandwidth is four times greater than for the PCIe x1 slot, which allows for support for more demanding devices, such as graphics cards, network cards or fast SSD drives . In the context of an open-ended slot, this means that expansion cards with more than x4 lanes , such as x8 or x16, can be connected to the slot, using all or part of the available lanes. This gives you more flexibility in hardware selection and allows you to experiment with a variety of configurations using the Raspberry Pi 5.
