8.2 PWOK (Power OK)

STATUS

Required

PWOK is a power OK signal and will be pulled HIGH by the power supply to indicate that all the outputs are within
the regulation limits of the power supply. When any output voltage falls below regulation limits or when AC power
has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will
be deasserted to a LOW state. See Figure 4 for a representation of the timing characteristics of PWOK. The
start of the PWOK delay time shall be inhibited as long as any power supply output is in current limit.

8.3 SMBus

Communication

STATUS

Optional

The serial bus communication devices for PSMI and FRU data in the power supply shall be compatible with both
SMBus 2.0 ‘high power’ and I

based power and drive. This bus shall operate at 3.3V but tolerant of 5V

signaling. The SMBus pull-ups are located on the motherboard and may be connected to 3.3V or 5V.

Two pins are allocated on the power supply. One pin is the Serial Clock (PSM Clock). The second pin is used for
Serial Data (PSM Data). Both pins are bi-directional and are used to form a serial bus. The device(s) in the
power supply shall be located at an address(s) determined by addressing pins A0 and A1 on the power supply
module. The circuits inside the power supply shall derive their power from the 5VSB bus. Device(s) shall be
powered from the system side of the 5VSB or’ing device. No pull-up resistors shall be on SCL or SDA inside the
power supply. These pull-up resistors should be located external to the power supply.

8.4 Power Supply Management Interface

STATUS

Optional

The PSMI device in the power supply shall derive its power off of the 5VSB output on the system side of the or’ing
device and grounded to ReturnS. It shall be located at an address set by the A0 and A1 pins. Refer to the PSMI
specification posted on the

www.ssiforum.org

website for details on the Power Supply Monitoring Interface

requirements. PSMI is a SMBus interface used to communicate power management information to the system.
