ETASIS ELECTRONICS has signed PMBus adopter agreement and became a full member of the Power Management Bus Implementers Forum (PMBus-IF).
Under System Management Interface Forum (SMIF), the PMBus protocol was defined by a coalition of leading power supply and semiconductor manufactures that recognized lack of standards for all-digital power management solution. With more than 38 adopters, PMBus is rapidly gaining industry acceptance.
PMBus is an open-standard digital power management protocol that fully defines transport and physical interface, and command language needed for communicating with power converters and other devices. It is derived from System Management Bus (SMBus), which is a refined version of industry-standard I2C bus with added host notification features. The rich command sets of PMBus protocol enables system integrator to implement scheme easily, and change operating parameters at any point during product’s life cycle to accommodate engineering changes. Thus, PMBus offers cost-effective and real-time power management solution.
To further increase flexibility for system integrator or administrator, ETASIS has developed a power monitoring software SMARTWARE ready to be used, customized, or incorporated into user’s administrative applications to monitor and control PMBus enabled power supply.
All ETASIS current products that incorporate PMBus support are able to monitor:
• Input Power Reading • Input Voltage Reading • Input Current Reading • Output Power Reading • Output Voltage Reading • Output Current Reading • FAN Speed Control • LED Control • Temperature Monitor  Figure 1: SMARTWARE monitoring power supply on server system.

ETASIS has already incorporated PMBus technology into most of newly developed high efficiency models ranging from ERP1U, EPS1U, to SBB form factors with IPC, workstation, server, storage, and networking applications. Click here to see a list of PMBus enabled power supplies.
As a PMBus adopter, ETASIS ELECTRONICS is devoted to deliver not only power supply units but total power management solutions suitable for system integrator and administrator that require great flexibility, cost-effective, and high-availability features.
