9DBV0231 DATASHEET
General SMBus Serial Interface Information
How to Write
• Controller (host) sends a start bit
• Controller (host) sends the write address
• IDT clock will acknowledge
• Controller (host) sends the beginning byte location = N
• IDT clock will acknowledge
• Controller (host) sends the byte count = X
• IDT clock will acknowledge
• Controller (host) starts sending Byte N through Byte
N+X-1
• IDT clock will acknowledge each byte one at a time
• Controller (host) sends a Stop bit
Note: SMBus Address is 1101101x, where x is the
read/write bit.
How to Read
• Controller (host) will send a start bit
• Controller (host) sends the write address
• IDT clock will acknowledge
• Controller (host) sends the beginning byte location = N
• IDT clock will acknowledge
• Controller (host) will send a separate start bit
• Controller (host) sends the read address
• IDT clock will acknowledge
• IDT clock will send the data byte count = X
• IDT clock sends Byte N+X-1
• IDT clock sends Byte 0 through Byte X (if X
(H)
was
written to Byte 8)
• Controller (host) will need to acknowledge each byte
• Controller (host) will send a not acknowledge bit
• Controller (host) will send a stop bit
