PECI Bus Architecture

The PECI architecture is based on a wired-OR bus that the clients (as processor PECI) can pull up (with the strong drive).

The idle state on the bus is ‘0’ (logical low) and near zero (Logical voltage level).

Note:PECI supported frequency range is 3.2 kHz - 1 MHz.

The following figures demonstrate PECI design and connectivity:

  • PECI Host-Clients Connection: While the host/originator can be third party PECI host and one of the PECI client is a processor PECI device.
  • PECI EC Connection.
