SC18IM700 PMBus Support

[rfyan]

PMBus is based on I2C interface.

Does SC18IM700 support PMBus communication over I2C master?

I want to use SC18IM700 as PMBus master (to read power status information from several PMBus slaves) and communicate with upstream MCU by UART interface (or By RS485 with additional RS485 transceiver IC). Is it ok for this device?

From SC18IM700 datasheet, SC18IM700IPW/S8 will be EOL in the 2024-2025 timeframe, is it correct?

Does NXP plan with have an alternative for this device, i.e. a UART-I2C master controller?

Thank you.

Hi

If PMbus timing and parameters are compatible with IIC,SC18IM700 can support this PMbus.

SC18IM700IPW/S8HP is normally supply to customer no plan to have EOL.
