PMBus
The BCM400y500x1K8A31 bus converter provides accurate telemetry monitoring and reporting, threshold and warning limits
adjustment, in addition to corresponding status flags.
The BCM internal µC is referenced to primary ground. The Digital Isolator allows UART communication interface with the host Digital
Supervisor at typical speed of 750 KHz across the isolation barrier. One of the advantages of the Digital Isolator is its low power
consumption. Each transmission channel is able to draw its internal bias circuitry directly from the input signal being transmitted to
the output with minimal to no signal distortion.
The Digital Supervisor provides the host system µC with access to an array of up to 4 BCMs. This array is constantly polled for status
by the Digital Supervisor. Direct communication to individual BCM is enabled by a page command. For example, the page (0x00) prior
to a telemetry inquiry points to the Digital Supervisor data and pages (0x01 – 0x04) prior to a telemetry inquiry points to the array of
BCMs connected data. The Digital Supervisor constantly polls the BCM data through the UART interface.
The Digital Supervisor enables the PMBus^TM compatible host interface with an operating bus speed of up to 400 kHz. The Digital
Supervisor follows the PMBus command structure and specification.
Please refer to the Digital Supervisor data sheet for more details.
