Is the SMBus interface on the DS160PT801 compatible with the more general I2C protocol standard and thus I2C controllers that do not allow changes to conform to the stricter SMBus standard?
This, as opposed to only supporting SMBus controllers or SMBus/I2C over direct I/O?
Can you site specific applications where this has been achieved?
My question arises from the various difference in the two protocols such as CNT, clock stretching, supported modes, ACK/NACK differences, SMDAT hold times, response time to start bit, minimum rise/fall times etc. etc.
