Functional Description
218 Datasheet
I
2
C Read
This command allows the PCH to perform block reads to certain I
2
C devices, such as
serial E
2
PROMs. The SMBus Block Read supports the 7-bit addressing mode only.
However, this does not allow access to devices using the I
2
C “Combined Format” that
has data bytes after the address. Typically these data bytes correspond to an offset
(address) within the serial memory chips.
Note: This command is supported independent of the setting of the I2C_EN bit. The I
2
C Read
command with the PEC_EN bit set produces undefined results. Software must force
both the PEC_EN and AAC bit to 0 when running this command.
For I
2
C Read command, the value written into bit 0 of the Transmit Slave Address
Register (SMB I/O register, offset 04h) needs to be 0.
The format that is used for the command is shown in Table 5-44.
The PCH will continue reading data from the peripheral until the NAK is received.
