Hi teams,

Customer is considering following IC.
・TPS65400

Customer will be able to collectively manage the I2C control IC and PMBus control IC?
Should customer to be prepared individually Bus line?
Please let me know if there is documentation on PMbus.

  • The two TPS65xxx devices are both PMBus so they should have no problem co-existing on the same communications link.  PMBus was derived from SMBus which is a superset of I2C.  Many I2C devices can be placed on the same bus as PMBus devices.  I am not specifically familiar with these devices.

    General PMBus specifications can be found here:

    http://pmbus.org/Specifications/CurrentSpecifications

    Device specific PMBus information such as supported commands and definition of any manufacturer specific commands are usually documented on the product page.

    If EVMs are available then I might suggest that the three boards be daisy-chained on a single cable and see if you can successfully communicate, I suspect the answer is yes if the host has the capability to communicate to both protocols.
