SMBus Device Addressing
Of the addresses broadcast across the SMBus, the memory components claim those of
the form “1010XXYZb”. The “XX” and “Y” bits are used to enable the devices on the
processor at adjacent addresses. The Y bit is hard-wired on the processor to GND (‘0’)
for the Scratch EEPROM and pulled to 3.3 V (‘1’) for the processor information ROM.
The “XX” bits are defined by the processor socket via the SMA0 and SMA1 pins on the
processor connector. These address pins have a weak pull-down (10 kΩ) to ensure that

processor at adjacent addresses. The Y bit is hard-wired on the processor to GND (‘0’)

The “XX” bits are defined by the processor socket via the SMA0 and SMA1 pins on the
processor connector. These address pins have a weak pull-down (10 kΩ) to ensure that
the memory components are in a known state in systems which do not support the
SMBus, or only support a partial implementation. The “Z” bit is the read/write bit for
the serial bus transaction.

the serial bus transaction.
The thermal sensing device internally decodes one of three upper address patterns
from the bus of the form “0011XXXZb”, “1001XXXZb” or “0101XXXZb”. The device’s
addressing, as implemented, uses SMA2 and SMA1 and includes a Hi-Z state for the
SMA2 address pin. Therefore, the thermal sensing device supports six unique resulting
addresses. To set the Hi-Z state for SMA2, the pin must be left floating. The system
should drive SMA1 and SMA0, and will be pulled low (if not driven) by the 10 kΩ pull-

a Hi-Z state would cause ambiguity in the memory device address decode, possibly
resulting in the devices not responding, thus timing out or hanging the SMBus. As

Note:
Addresses of the form “0000XXXXb” are Reserved and should not be generated by an
SMBus master. Also, system management software must be aware of the processor
