The Power Management Bus (PMBus®) is an open standard digital power-management protocol: simple, robust, and extensible. About 40 PMBus member companies adopt, promote, and improve the standard. Benefits are efficiency, interoperability, reduced design complexity, and shorter time-to-market for power products.

The Power Management Bus (PMBus) is a variant of the System Management Bus (SMBus) which is targeted at digital management of power supplies. Like SMBus, it is a relatively slow speed two wire communications protocol based on I²C.

Some Basic PMBus Requirements • PMBus Devices Must Start Up Safely Without Bus Communication • PMBus Devices Can Be Used With Or Without A Power System Manager/Controller • PMBus Devices Support “Set And Forget” – Can Be Programmed Once At Time Of Manufacture – Then Operate Forevermore Without Bus Communication • Defaults …

The current published revision of the Power Management Bus (PMBus®) specification is revision 1.4, available upon request. The current published revision of the Adaptive Voltage Scaling Bus (AVSBus™) specification is revision 2.0, available upon request.

From the fundamentals of I 2 C, we’ll walk through the availability of its variant subsets, System Management Bus (SMBus) and Power Management Bus (PMBus), and their differences. Each of the three has dedicated functions intended to address different customer requirements.

If you have not already designed a power supply using the PMBus™ digital interface or have not yet been exposed to PMBus, you may wonder what it’s all about. Here are some common questions and answers about PMBus. Q: What is PMBus? A: PMBus is an I2C-based communication standard for power-supply management. It’s owned and regulated by

This topic provides a brief high-level introduction to the PMBus Standard for controlling a power supply using an enhanced serial interface, and then describes the more common and basic PMBus commands.

2021年2月10日 · PMBus is a low cost, two-wire interface that is an extension of the SMBus standard, which is built from the I2C protocol. Similar to SMBus, PMBus requires a minimum of two wires for communication, including the clock signal, SMBCLK, and data signal, SMBDAT.

2016年10月12日 · PMBus is a natural complement to the age of digital power, and is suitable for communicating with all types of digital converters including AC/DC front-end power supplies, isolated DC/DC regulators like Intermediate Bus Converters (IBC) and …

2023年2月28日 · PMBus® provides a physical interface layer and command language, making power management easy to implement. The system controller can digitally command target addressable devices over PMBus® to perform an array of tasks.
