APPENDIX A

SIMILARITY BETWEEN PMBUS, SMBUS AND I2C

2-WIRE INTERFACE

The PMBus 2-wire interface is an incremental extension

of the SMBus. SMBus is built upon I2C with some minor

differences in timing, DC parameters and protocol. The

PMBus/SMBus protocols are more robust than simple I2C

byte commands because PMBus/SMBus provide time-

outs to prevent bus errors and optional packet error check-

ing (PEC) to ensure data integrity. In general, a master

device that can be configured for I2C communication can

be used for PMBus communication with little or no change

to hardware or firmware. Repeat start (restart) is not

supported by all I2C controllers but is required for SMBus/

PMBus reads. If a general purpose I2C controller is used,

check that repeat start is supported.

For a description of the minor extensions and exceptions

PMBus makes to SMBus, refer to PMBus Specification

Part 1 Revision 1.2: Paragraph 5: Transport.

For a description of the differences between SMBus

and I2C, refer to System Management Bus (SMBus)

Specification Version 2.0: Appendix B—Differences

Between SMBus and I2C.
