SM Bus Exerciser and Protocol Analyzer
Product no.: PGY-SM Bus-EX-PD
SMBus Protocol Exerciser and Analyzer (PGY-SMBus-EX-PD) is the Protocol Analyzer with multiple features to capture and debug communication between the host and the design under test. PGY-SMBus-EX-PD is the leading instrument that enables the design and test engineers to test the respective SMBus designs for their specifications by configuring the PGY-SMBus-EX-PD as Master/Slave, generating SMBus traffic, and decoding the SMBus protocol decode packets.
SMBus (System Management Bus) is one of the known low-speed serial protocols widely used for communication between various components in computer systems such as motherboards, batteries, temperature sensors, power management devices, sideband communication in PCIe, etc.
PGY-SMBus-EX-PD is the leading SMBus Protocol exerciser and analyzer that enables the design and test engineers to test their SMBus designs against SMBus specifications by configuring PGY-SMBus-EX-PD as master/slave, generating SMBus traffic with error injection capability and decoding SMBus Protocol packets.
