This application report describes the implementation of the system management bus (SMBus) using the MSP430™ hardware I2C peripheral. SMBus is used as a communication link for smart batteries, power-related devices, and a wide variety of other system devices. This report includes the support for master and slave protocols in a SMBus communication system.
The source code described in this application report is available from http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slaa249. For additional help enabling communication with SMBus devices, see the MSP430 SMBUS Library.
