BCM3814x60E15A3yzz
Where:
PMBus™ Interface
Refer to “PMBus Power System Management Protocol Specification
Revision 1.2, Part I and II” for complete PMBus specifications details
at http://pmbus.org.
X, is a “real world” value in units (A, V, °C, s)
Y, is a two’s complement integer received from the BCM controller
m, b and R are two’s complement integers defined as follows:

The PMBus address (ADDR Pin) should be set to one of the
predetermined 16 possible addresses shown in the table below
using a resistor between the ADDR pin and SGND pin.

The BCM accepts only a fixed and persistent address and does not
support SMBus address resolution protocol. At initial power up, the
BCM controller will sample the address pin voltage and will keep
this address until device power is removed.

No special formatting is required when lowering the supervisory
limits and warnings.
Reported DATA Formats
The BCM controller employs a direct data format where all
reported measurements are in Volts, Amperes, Degrees Celsius,
or Seconds. The host uses the following PMBus specification
to interpret received values metric prefixes. Note that the
COEFFICIENTS command is not supported:
