Chapter 3 System Management Bus Interface Protocol
3.1
System Management Bus Interface Protocol
The EMC1428 communicate with a host controller, such as an SMSC SIO, through the SMBus. The
SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1 SMBus Timing Diagram
The EMC1428 are SMBus 2.0 compatible and support Send Byte, Read Byte, Write Byte, Receive
Byte, and the Alert Response Address as valid protocols as shown below.
All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 3.1.

Attempting to communicate with the EMC1428 SMBus interface with an invalid slave address or invalid
protocol will result in no response from the device and will not affect its register contents. Stretching
of the SMCLK signal is supported, provided other devices on the SMBus control the timing.
3.2
Write Byte
The Write Byte is used to write one byte of data to the registers as shown below Table 3.2:
