Engineering:PCI-SIG
The PCI-SIG or Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group is an electronics industry consortium responsible for specifying the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), PCI-X, and PCI Express (PCIe) computer buses. It is based in Beaverton, Oregon.[1] The PCI-SIG is distinct from the similarly named and adjacently-focused PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group. The PCI Special Interest Group was formed in 1992, initially as a "compliance program" to help computer manufacturers implement the Intel specification.[2] The organization became a nonprofit corporation, officially named "PCI-SIG" in the year 2000.
The PCI-SIG has more than 800 member companies that develop differentiated, interoperable products based on its specifications. It has produced the PCI, PCI-X and PCI Express specifications.
As of 2022, the board of directors of the PCI-SIG has representatives from: AMD, ARM, Dell EMC, IBM, Intel, Synopsys, Keysight, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm. The chairman and president of the PCI-SIG is Al Yanes, a "Distinguished Engineer" from IBM. The executive director of the PCI-SIG is Reen Presnell, president of VTM Group.
PCI-SIG specifications are available to members of the organization as free downloads.[3] Non-members can purchase hard-copy specifications.[4]
