Small Form Factor Special Interest Group
The Small Form Factor Special Interest Group (SFF-SIG, pronounced ess-eff-eff-sig) is an international
History
SFF-SIG generally targets low power components and processors from VIA Technologies and Intel including the Nano and Atom processors, although products for RISC processors were discussed in some working groups. VIA, WinSystems, and Octagon Systems were founding members of SFF-SIG. It was created in 2007.[2] A logo and web site debuted in April 2008.[3]
SFF-SIG creates, promotes, and maintains
Specifications often use pre-existing interface buses and interconnects such as PCI Express, USB 2.0,[4] ExpressCard,[5] Low Pin Count (LPC) Bus,[6] SPI / uWire,[7] and I2C / SMBus,[8] with adaptations for modular and extensible usage. Some standards preserve the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus and legacy peripherals.
