MAXSMBus is an interface between an IBM®-compatible
PC and System Management Bus (SMBus™) compatible
serial-interface devices such as temperature
monitors, voltage regulators, or A/D converters
(ADCs). The MAXSMBus interface board is connected
between the PC parallel port and the device under test,
converting parallel data into two-wire, open-drain serial
data. The board is provided for use with selected
Maxim products and is not intended to replace commercially
available SMBus hardware. MAXSMBus is
shipped with a companion EV kit board, including all
relevant software.
Note that the MAXSMBus board, combined with a PC, is intended only for the functional evaluation of Maxim SMBus-interfaced devices. The PC functions as the only bus master, and does not yield to any other SMBus master. The SMBus emulation system is not designed to meet all of the SMBus specifications.
* Some packages have variations, listed on the drawing. "PkgCode/Variation" tells which variation the product uses. Note that "+", "#", "-" in the part number suffix describes RoHS status. Package drawings may show a different suffix character.
