information.
IIC/SMBus Interface
Introduction to IIC/SMBus
The Inter Integrated Circuit (IIC) bus provides the connection from the CPU to peripherals.
It is a serial bus with a data signal, SDA, and a clock signal, SCL, both of which are
bidirectional. The interface is designed to serve as an interface with multiple different
devices, with one master device and multiple slave devices. The interface is designed to
operate in the range of 100 KHz to 400 KHz.
The Systems Management Bus (SMBus) also provides connectivity from the CPU to
peripherals. The SMBus is also a two wire serial bus through which simple power related
devices can communicate with the rest of the system. SMBus uses IIC as its backbone.The
EDK kit provides IP that integrates the IIC interface with a microprocessor system, please
review the EDK Processor IP reference Guide for more details.
IIC/SMBus Signaling
There are two main signals on the IIC Bus, the data signal and the clock signal. Both of
these signals operate as open-drain, by default pulled high to 5 Volts, although some
devices support lower voltages. Either the master device or a slave device can drive either
of the signals low to transmit data or clock signals.
IIC/SMBus on ML310 Board
Table 2-22 provides a listing of the function, part number and addresses of the IIC devices
on the ML310. These devices include EEPROM, temperature sensors, power monitors and
Real Time Clock.
