SM Bus Controller Configuration

14.3.4smbhstcmd–SMBus Host Command Register (I/O)

I/O Address:

Base + (03h)

Default Value:

00h

Attribute:

Read/Write

This register is transmitted by the SMBus controller host interface in the command field of the SMBus protocol.

Bit

Description

7:0 SMBus Host Command (HST_CMD)–R/W. This field contains the data transmitted in the command field of SMBus host transaction.

14.3.5smbhstadd–SMBus Host Address Register (I/O)

I/O Address:

Base + (04h)

Default Value:

00h

Attribute:

Read/Write

This register is transmitted by the SMBus controller host interface in the slave address field of the SMBus protocol.

Bit

Description

7:1 SMBus Address (SMB_ADDRESS)–R/W.This field contains the 7-bit address of the targeted slave device.

0SMBus Read or Write (SMB_RW)–R/W.1 = Execute a READ command. 0 = Execute a WRITE command.

14.3.6smbhstdat0–SMBus Host Data 0 Register (I/O)

I/O Address:

Base + (05h)

Default Value:

00h

Attribute:

Read/Write

This register is transmitted by the SMBus controller host interface in the Data0 field of the SMBus protocol.

Bit

Description

7:0 SMBus Data 0 (SMBD0)–R/W.This register should be programmed with the value to be transmitted in the Data0 field of an SMBus host interface transaction. For a block write command, the count of the memory block should be stored in this field. The value of this register is loaded into the block transfer count field. This register must be programmed to a value between 1 and 32 for block command counts. A count of 0 or a count above 32 will result in unpredictable behavior. For block reads, the count received from the SMBus device is stored here.
