Specifications

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.

The Socket 2 Key B PCIe/USB3.1 Gen1-based WWAN Adapter Pinout was not updated to reflect the addition of 1.8V sideband support like the other tables. The affected portion is highlighted in Table 33 Socket 2 Key B PCIe/USB3.1 Gen1-based WWAN Adapter Pinout. show less

Enable PCIe and USB 3.1 Gen1 on M.2 Card Key B ECN
M.2 Key B (WWAN) is modified to enable PCIe and USB ...view more M.2 Key B (WWAN) is modified to enable PCIe and USB 3.1 Gen1 signals to be simultaneously present on the connector. This enables support for a single SKU M.2 card that supports both PCIe and USB 3.1 Gen1. There are two implementation options enabled: 1. State #14 in the “Socket 2 Add-in Card Configuration Table” is re-defined to indicate an Add-in Card built to the PCI Express M.2 Specification, Revision 1.1 or later where both PCIe and USB 3.1 Gen1 are both present on the connector. The choice of Port Configuration is vendor defined. This enables the host to unambiguously determine that PCIe and USB 3.1 Gen1 are present on the connector. 2. States #4, 5, 6, 7 in the “Socket 2 Add-in Card Configuration Table” are re-defined to indicate that in addition to USB 3.1 Gen1, PCIe may be present on the connector. This definition was used by M.2 cards built to the PCI Express M.2 Specification, Revision 1.0 (USB 3.1 Gen1 on connector; PCIe is “no connect”). This definition is now also permitted to be used by M.2 cards built to PCI Express M.2 Specification, Revision 1.1 or later to indicate that PCIe and USB 3.1 Gen1 are both present on the connector. This allows GPIO port configurations to remain consistent with all other existing states. show less
