The PMBus-USB Adapter enables communication with the PMBus® interface of Vicor power modules using a Host PC. The PMBus control interface provides digital management capabilities and access to the telemetry monitoring and status reporting offered by the product.

The PMBus-USB Adapter converts the PMBus interface to a USB communication protocol using an internal isolated controller, allowing users to easily connect to a Host PC (no driver installation is required with Windows operating systems). The Power System Configurator GUI, available from Vicor, provides a convenient means for monitoring and control of the power module.
