  • 3. System Management Bus
    Input/Output Systems and Peripheral Devices 1 3. SYSTEM MANAGEMENT BUS This laboratory work presents the System Management Bus (SMBus). After an over- view of SMBus, bit and data transfers are described, the bus arbitration procedure is present- ed, the differences between SMBus and the I2C bus are highlighted, and several command protocols are detailed. Next, the Intel SMBus controller is presented, including its registers and commands, as well as its use with I2C devices. The applications aim to detect the devices connected to the computer’s SMBus, read the contents of SPD memories present in the sys- tem, and decode the contents of these memories. 3.1. Overview of SMBus System Management Bus (SMBus) is a simple serial bus with only two signal lines. This bus can be used for communication between various system devices and between these devices and the rest of a system. The operating principles of SMBus are similar to those of the I2C bus. There are, however, several differences between the two buses, differences which will be presented later. SMBus represents a control bus for system management and power management op- erations. A system may use the SMBus to transfer messages to and from various devices in- stead of using individual control lines, which allows to reduce pin count and interconnection wires. A device may use the SMBus to provide manufacturer information, provide the device model number, report different types of errors, accept control parameters, and return the de- vice status. SMBus was initially proposed by Intel as a link between an intelligent battery, a charger for the battery and a microcontroller that communicates with the rest of the system.

  • Hello, and Welcome to This Presentation of the STM32 I²C Interface
    Hello, and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 I²C interface. It covers the main features of this communication interface, which is widely used to connect devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, and serial interface memories. 1 The I²C interface is compliant with the NXP I2C-bus specification and user manual, Revision 3; the SMBus System Management Bus Specification, Revision 2; and the PMBus Power System Management Protocol Specification, Revision 1.1. This peripheral provides an easy-to-use interface, with very simple software programming, and full timing flexibility. Additionally, the I²C peripheral is functional in low-power stop modes. 2 The I²C peripheral supports multi-master and slave modes. The I²C IO pins must be configured in open-drain mode. The logic high level is driven by an external pull-up. The I²C alternate functions are available on IO pins supplied by VDD, which can be from 1.71 to 3.6 volts, and on IO pins supplied by VDDIO2, which can be from 1.08 to 3.6 volts. This allows communication with external chips at voltages different from the STM32L4 main power supply. A typical use case is communication with an application processor in sensor hub applications. The IO pins support the 20 mA output drive required for Fast mode Plus. The peripheral controls all I²C bus-specific sequencing, protocol, arbitration and timing values. 7- and 10-bit addressing modes are supported, and multiple 7-bit addresses can be supported in the same 3 application. The peripheral supports slave clock stretching and clock stretching from slave can be disabled by software.
