I think there are more experts on uk.d-i-y than here on this subject!
SMBus is the System Management Bus defined by Intel Corporation in
1995. It is used in mobile and desktop personal computers for low-speed communication in the system. The I2C bus and the SMBus are popular 2-wire buses that are essentially compatible with each other. Complete compatibility between both buses is ensured only below 100kHz.
