♦ 400kbps I C-Compatible, 2-Wire Serial Interface
The MAX6621 PECI-to-I C translator provides an effi-
cient, low-cost solution for PECI-to-SMBusTM/I2C proto-
col conversion. The PECI-compliant host reads
temperature data directly from up to four PECI-enabled
CPUs. Interrupts are generated when the measured
temperature exceeds the high-temperature limit and
causes ALERT to assert. The RESET input allows the

munication channel to communicate synchronously with
peripheral devices in a multiple master or multiple slave
system. This interface allows a maximum serial-data
rate of 400kbps.
