6.3.1. Host Interface
Note: FN990 M.2 data card supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 and PCIe Gen 4
respectively. This means USB 3.1 and PCIe 4.0 interface cannot be
used at the same time.
Basically, the host interface operates as USB 3.1 Gen 2: if the
application requires to use PCIe Gen 4.0 host interface switch must
be used.

Table 29: Host Interface Switch Pin
FN990 Family M.2 Card determines the host interface by checking the status of
USB_PCIE_SWITCH pin at the beginning of the power on sequences.
High(Default): USB 3.1 or USB 2.0
Low: PCIe 3.0 + (USB 3.1 or USB 2.0)*
