Overview

PMBUS Master interface provides full support for the two-wire PMBUS Master synchronous serial interface, compatible with version 1.3.1 Part II of PMBus Bus Specification. Through its PMBUS Master compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. PMBUS Master IIP is proven in FPGA environment. The host interface of the PMBUS Master can be simple interface or can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AHB-Lite, AMBA AXI, AMBA AXI-Lite, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.

PMBUS Master IIP is supported natively in Verilog and VHDL

VolTune: A Fine-Grained Runtime Voltage Control Architecture for FPGA Systems

This paper presents VolTune, an open-source runtime voltage control architecture that enables runtime tuning of FPGA supply voltages through FPGA-integrated control logic that abstracts low-level PMBus operations. VolTune provides both hardware-based and software-based control paths, allowing designers to balance deterministic low-latency operation against programmability.
