PMBus sessions to be held at APEC 2015
At this year’s APEC (Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition), which takes place from 15th to 19th March in Charlotte, North Carolina, the System Management Interface Forum (SMIF) will be presenting a number of papers centered around PMBus standards and applications. The SMIF will also use the event to launch PMBus revision 1.3.1, a revision to the PMBus standard.
PMBus is a protocol to support the digital management of power supplies. It is an open-standard optimised for simple, standard, flexible, extensible and easy programming. The protocol command language enables communication between the various components of a power system including CPUs, power supplies and power converters.
The seven PMBus industry sessions, scheduled to take place on Tuesday 17th March from 8.30am to 11.55am, are aimed at providing potential and existing adopters with insightful and practical information and guidance. The sessions will cover a broad range of topics around the standard, including the history and evolution of PMBus and papers on hardware and software considerations.
The current revision of the specification, 1.3 with Adaptive Voltage Scaling, includes higher speed communication to reduce latencies, a dedicated AVS bus to statically and dynamically control processor voltages and a range of other enhancements and improvements over version 1.2.
Those interested in attending the sessions can register on the APEC website. Early registration discounts are available until February 20th.
