System Management Bus Circuit Interconnect
System Management Bus
The SMbus is a two wire interface which is based on the I2C bus. The two
SMbus lines are called SMBCLK, and SMBDAT and operate at a frequency of
100KHz. Both SMBCLK, and SMBDAT are bidirectional, and pulled high via a
resistor [Rp]. Resistor Rs is optional, and used for ESD protection for
'Hot-Swap' devices. VDD may be between 2.7 volts and 5 volts.
VIL (Voltage Input Low) is 0.8 volts, and VIH
(Voltage Input High) is 2.1 volts. The SMbus link may have multiple
Masters and Slaves on the bus, but only one Master may be active at any
one time. Slaves may receive or transmit data to the master.
The SMbus is used to communicate between ICs, Temperature Sensors,
Smart Battery Charges, and 'Smart' batteries.
Two pins have also been allowed on the PCI
bus to support SMbus. Version 2.0 of SMbus, and an ECR to version 2.2 of
the PCI specification added the pins.
