  2. Peripheral Component Interconnect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_Component...

    Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) [ 3 ] is a local computer bus for attaching hardware devices in a computer and is part of the PCI Local Bus standard. The PCI bus supports the functions found on a processor bus but in a standardized format that is independent of any given processor 's native bus. Devices connected to the PCI bus appear ...

    PCI Express x16. PCI Express x1. PCI Express x16. Conventional PCI (32-bit, 5 V) PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), officially abbreviated as PCIe or PCI-e, [2] is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard, designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X and AGP bus standards.

  4. Expansion card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_card

    The CardBus expansion card standard is an evolution of the PC card standard to make it into a compact version of the PCI bus. The original ExpressCard standard acts like it is either a USB 2.0 peripheral or a PCI Express 1.x x1 device. ExpressCard 2.0 adds SuperSpeed USB as another type of interface the card can use.

  5. PCI configuration space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_configuration_space

    One of the major improvements the PCI Local Bus had over other I/O architectures was its configuration mechanism. In addition to the normal memory-mapped and I/O port spaces, each device function on the bus has a configuration space, which is 256 bytes long, addressable by knowing the eight-bit PCI bus, five-bit device, and three-bit function numbers for the device (commonly referred to as the ...
