Abstract
A thunderbolt device module is provided. The thunderbolt device module of the invention includes a first interface protocol component, a thunderbolt controller and a second interface protocol component. A root complex of an electronic device is via a bus, conforming to a PCIe interface protocol, directly or indirectly electrically coupled to the second interface protocol component. The first interface protocol component and the second interface protocol component both conform to a predetermined interface protocol. In particular, the predetermined interface protocol is not the PCIe interface protocol, but supports the PCIe interface protocol. The thunderbolt controller is electrically coupled to the first interface protocol component. The second interface protocol component is electrically coupled to the first interface protocol component. The communication between the second interface protocol component and the first interface protocol component conforms to the predetermined interface protocol.
