System Management Bus Interface

System Management Bus Interface

8

The SMBus interface allows the Intel® 41210 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge (called hereafter the 41210 Bridge or 41210) to serve as a slave device residing on the SMBus for system management functions and provides for full access to the configuration registers in each function. The SMBus implementation has the following characteristics:

Is based on the System Management Bus Specification, Revision 2.0 (SMBus)

Allows for slave-mode operation only

Provides full read/write access to internal configuration and memory spaces

The SMBus address is set up on PERST# by sampling the SMBUS pins. When the pins are sampled, the resulting address is assigned as shown in Table 25:
