PCI-SIG specifications define standards driving the industry-wide compatibility of peripheral component interconnects. Members regularly review them, providing commentary and change requests when necessary. These requests are considered by technical workgroups and applied as appropriate, resulting in collaboratively devised specifications benefiting millions of platforms and add-in devices.
Engineering Change Request Process
PCI-SIG members may submit requests to change specifications here. The Engineering Change Request process and form can be found here.
Purchasing Specifications
PCI-SIG members may access specifications online, at no cost, using the Specification Library. Members may filter their search by technology type, revision, and the type of document. Select the appropriate filters and then select the Filter button to initiate your search. Alternatively, members may purchase a hard copy of the specifications, at a reduced member rate, here.
Non-members who are interested in purchasing specifications may submit their order here.
PCI Code & ID Assignment Specifications
The PCI Code & ID Assignment Specifications are accessible to non-members without charge here. PCI-SIG members can download these specifications directly from the Specifications Library below.
The M.2 form factor is intended for Mobile Adapters....view moreThe M.2 form factor is intended for Mobile Adapters. The M.2 is a natural transition from the Mini Card and Half-Mini Card (refer to the PCI Express Mini CEM Specification) to a smaller form factor in
both size and volume. The M.2 is a family of form factors that enables expansion, contraction, and higher integration of functions onto a single form factor module solution.

Form factors include, but are not limited to, those described in the SFF-8201 Form Factor Drive Dimensions Specification. Other form factors, such as PCI Express Card Electromechanical are documented in other independent specifications.

The primary focus of this specification is the implementation of cabled PCI Express®. No assumptions are made regarding the implementation of PCI Express-compliant Subsystems on either side of the cabled Link (PCI Express Card Electromechanical (CEM), ExpressCard™, ExpressModule™, PXI Express™, or any other form factor). Such form factors are covered in separate specifications

Device and Port types that do not have a link (e.g., Root Complex Integrated Endpoints, Root 10 Complex Event Collectors) are not tested under this test specification. While the test environment can accommodate the presence of a Retimer, it will not test the Retimer itself. At this point, this test specification does not describe the full set of PCI Express tests for all link layer or transaction layer requirements.
