PCI Express Bus
PCI Identification
Grablink Base is identified on the PCI Express system as follows:
PCI Vendor ID |
0x1805 |
PCI Device ID (Normal mode) |
0x030E (782) |
PCI Device ID (Recovery mode) |
0x030F (783) |
PCI Sub-Vendor ID |
0x0000 |
PCI Sub-Device ID |
0x0001 |
Standard Compliance
Grablink Base implements a single-lane PCI Express end point interface.
The PCI Express end point interface is compliant with the PCI Express Card Electromechanical specification Rev. 1.1. A PCI Express lane is composed of two unidirectional 2.5 gigabits per second serial links.
PCI Express Bus Compatibility
Grablink Base can be inserted in a PCI Express slot inside a PC. It is compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification 1.1.
- 1-lane PCI Express
- The PCIe edge connector is 1-lane wide. It operates at 2.5 GHz.
- Grablink Base can be used in any 1-lane or larger PCIe slot.The board can be installed in a 1-lane, 4-lane or 8-lane PCIe slot. It can be used in a 16-lane PCIe slot that is not reserved for a graphical board.
Payload Size
During the configuration of the PCI Express fabric, the PCI Express end point interface negotiates the payload size of the TLP packets. The maximum payload size of the end point interface is 1024 bytes.
The negotiated payload size is reported through the MultiCam PCIePayloadSize parameter. Possible values are 128, 256, 512 and 1024.
64-bit Addressing Bus Master
The PCI Express end point interface supports 64-bit addressing for bus master access.
PCIe End Point Interface Revision Number
The revision number of the PCI Express end point interface is reported through the MultiCam PCIeEndpointRevisionID parameter.
PCI Express Bus Power Supplies
Grablink Base draws power exclusively from both the +3.3 and +12V rails of the PCI Express connector.

- The typical supply current values are measured during normal board operation at 25°C ambient temperature and nominal supply voltages.
- The maximum current on each supply rail are below the limits allowed for a 10W slot.
- The power consumption is below the 10W maximum power dissipation allowed for a low profile x1 PCI Express add-in card.
- Refer to Environmental for details on heat dissipation.
