ADVANCE INFORMATION
According to the SMBus specification, block commands are transmitted across the PMBus interface in ascending order. The description below shows the convention this document follows for documenting block commands.
When block values are listed as register map tables, block values are listed in byte order from top to bottom starting with Byte N and ending with Byte 1.
When block values are listed as text in hexadecimal, block values are listed in byte order, from left to right, starting with Byte N and ending with Byte 1 with a space between each byte of the value. For example, in block 00 28 4C 54 49 54h, the byte order returned in response to a Block Read is:
47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 |
RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
Byte N | |||||||
39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 |
RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
Byte … | |||||||
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 |
RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
Byte 4 | |||||||
23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 |
RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
Byte 3 | |||||||
15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 |
RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
Byte 2 | |||||||
7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW | RW |
Byte 1 |
