I²C (pronounce: I squared C and written I2C in the kernel documentation) is
a protocol developed by Philips. It is a slow two-wire protocol (variable
speed, up to 400 kHz), with a high speed extension (3.4 MHz). It provides
speed, up to 400 kHz), with a high speed extension (3.4 MHz). It provides
an inexpensive bus for connecting many types of devices with infrequent or
low bandwidth communications needs. I2C is widely used with embedded
systems. Some systems use variants that don't meet branding requirements,
low bandwidth communications needs. I2C is widely used with embedded
systems. Some systems use variants that don't meet branding requirements,
and so are not advertised as being I2C but come under different names,
e.g. TWI (Two Wire Interface), IIC.

SMBus (System Management Bus) is based on the I2C protocol, and is mostly
a subset of I2C protocols and signaling. Many I2C devices will work on an
a subset of I2C protocols and signaling. Many I2C devices will work on an
SMBus, but some SMBus protocols add semantics beyond what is required to
achieve I2C branding. Modern PC mainboards rely on SMBus. The most common

devices connected through SMBus are RAM modules configured using I2C EEPROMs,
and hardware monitoring chips.
Because the SMBus is mostly a subset of the generalized I2C bus, we can
use its protocols on many I2C systems. However, there are systems that don't
use its protocols on many I2C systems. However, there are systems that don't
meet both SMBus and I2C electrical constraints; and others which can't
implement all the common SMBus protocol semantics or messages.
