TMS320F280025C: ABOUT pmbus pins

Part Number: TMS320F280025C

Now we use TMS320F280025C to build our new power project, and need to use PMBus to communicate with other devices .

but we didn't know what PMBus is ?

about the the 4 pin : ALERT, CTL, SCL, SDA, 

for the master mode : when F280025C chip sends byte to slave , how are the ALERT or CTL working ?  when slave device send byte to F280025C chip , how are the  ALERT or CTL working ?

and for the slave mode: when F280025 chip sends byte to master device, how is the ALERT or CTL working ?  when master device send byte to F280025C chip , how are the  ALERT or CTL working ?

please kindly give us advices , thank you !

    Serena,

    PMBus pin description:

    ALERT              -   This pin will be used by slave device to request attention from master

    CONTROL        -   This pin will be used by master device to tell slave device to shutdown

    SCL                   -   Clock pin

    SDA                   -   Data pin

    When PMBus is Master, ALERT pin is input pin and CONTROL pin is output pin

    When PMBus is Slave, ALERT pin is output pin and CONTROL pin is input pin

    Whats All This PMBus Stuff About, Anyhow?

    Regards,

    Hello Manoj, 

    Thanks for your kindly response.

    we can't open youtube webpage in China . and do you have other solution to show me this useful PMBus video ?

    Now our project will use PMBus Slave -> Master mode . 

    and about setting GPIO for CONTROL pin and ALERT pin , there are same function to set them same both for Slave or Master Mode , 

     GPIO_setPinConfig(GPIO_12_PMBUSA_CTL);           //SlaveMode下，CTL为输入

     GPIO_setPinConfig(GPIO_13_PMBUSA_ALERT);       //SlaveMode下，ALERT为输出

    is it enough just use this Pin setting function for PMBUSA_CTL or PMBUSA_ALERT ?

    thank you

    Yes, CTL and ALERT pin settings are same with respect to master / slave.
