Introduction 

This Product serves as an interface adapter or a bridge between a host PC 
(IBM™ compatible) and one or multiple PMBus design/evaluation boards via a 
standard type-A to mini-B USB cable. The communication between the USB-
PMBus adapter and the host PC is via USB, while the communication between 
the USB-PMBus adapter and PMBus design/evaluation board(s) is via an inter-
integrated circuit (I2C) and/or general-purpose inputs/outputs GPIOs. The bridge 
converts communication transactions between the USB and PMBus.
