Command set layered on SMBus for digital power converters: voltage setpoints, telemetry, sequencing, and fault logs. Transaction types (write byte, read word, block) and STATUS_* registers are the usual debug surface. Vendors extend the standard with MFR_* commands that still use the same framing and optional PEC.
