1 Introduction
This Product serves as an interface adapter or a bridge between a host PC

standard type-A to mini-B USB cable. The communication between the USBPMBus adapter and the host PC is via USB, while the communication between
the USB-PMBus adapter and PMBus design/evaluation board(s) is via an interintegrated circuit (I2C) and/or general-purpose inputs/outputs GPIOs. The bridge
