DC blocking capacitors are required for data lanes and should be implemented on the TX end.
Routing must support 5 GBaud operation.
Differential pairs must be length matched.
The PCIe differential TX and RX buffers contain on-chip termination resistors, so an external termination is not needed.
If the PCIe interface is not required, the PCIe regulator power pin must still be connected to the correct supply rail with the appropriate decoupling capacitance applied.
