About PICMG 1.3

PICMG 1.3 is the latest in a series of System Host Board (SHB) specifications from the PCI Industrial Manufacturers Group that adapts the popular desktop PC format to passive backplane implementations required in more demanding environments such as industrial automation, military, medical, and telecom.

The original PICMG 1.0 defined pinouts for the ISA (original PC/AT bus) and parallel PCI buses to the backplane. PICMG 1.2 added support for PCI-X. PICMG 1.3 addresses the bandwidth issues created by contemporary processors, by substituting PCI Express for the parallel buses.


PICMG 1.3 defines four backplane connectorsm, labeled A through D in the above photo:
  • A -- 164 pins -- PCI Express up to 16 lanes
  • B -- 98 pins -- PCI Express up to 8 lanes
  • C -- 164 pins -- SATA, USB, IPMB, SMBUS, Geographic addressing, Power management
  • D -- 98 pins (optional) -- PCI or PCI-X parallel bus.
PICMG 1.3 was ratified in August of last year.
