System Management Bus (SMBus)
The SMBus is SMBus 2.0 compliant and is also compatible with most 2-wire
components that are I2C compatible. The host interface allows the EP80579 to
communicate via SMBus, the slave interface allows external microcontrollers to access
system resource in the IICH. The SMB does not support access to internal configuration
registers. Access to the external DIMMs is through the IICH, via I2C. This is used to
determine the nature of the DIMMs present in order to configure the memory
subsystem correctly, including the configuration of the D-unit.
This section describes the electrical characteristics of the System Management Bus
(SMBus) interface.

VIH and VIL for Intruder# is guaranteed by design. These values are typical values seen for this process, but
not measured during production testing.

Notes:
1.
VOH spec does not apply to signals that are open drain driver. Open drain signals must have an
external pull up resistor.

VOL for Intruder# is guaranteed by design. These values are typical values seen for this process, but not
measured during production testing.
