System Management Bus Interface Protocol
The EMC1403 and EMC1404 communicate with a host controller, such as an SIO, through the SMBus.
The SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 4.1.
For the first 15ms after power-up the device may not respond to SMBus communications.
Figure 4.1 SMBus Timing Diagram
The EMC1403 and EMC1404 are SMBus 2.0 compatible and support Send Byte, Read Byte, Write
Byte, Receive Byte, and the Alert Response Address as valid protocols as shown below.
All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 4.1.

Attempting to communicate with the EMC1403 and EMC1404 SMBus interface with an invalid slave
address or invalid protocol will result in no response from the device and will not affect its register
contents. Stretching of the SMCLK signal is supported, provided other devices on the SMBus control
the timing.
