ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

System Management Bus

The System Management Bus (SMBus) is like a secret messenger that helps different parts of a computer talk to each other.

Imagine you are playing with blocks and you need to give a block to your friend. But instead of just handing it to them, you have to go find a special friend who knows where your friend is and will tell them to come get the block. That special friend is like the SMBus.

The SMBus helps different parts of the computer, such as the processor, memory, and sensors, to talk to each other and share information. It makes sure everyone is on the same page and knows what's going on.

The SMBus is like a traffic cop, directing the flow of information and making sure everything runs smoothly. It helps the computer work efficiently and quickly, so you can play your favorite games or do homework without any problems.
