The Intel(R) DMA SMBus Controller - 1BFF is a device driver for a System Management Bus (SMBus) controller that is typically integrated into Intel-based chipsets, especially those used in desktop or laptop motherboards. It is used to manage communication between the motherboard and various low-speed devices, such as temperature sensors, power management ICs, and battery controllers, through the SMBus protocol.

The DMA part refers to Direct Memory Access, which allows certain devices to access system memory directly without involving the CPU, improving efficiency for specific types of communication and data transfer.

If you're encountering the Intel(R) DMA SMBus Controller - 1BFF in Device Manager (likely under Other devices or System devices) with a yellow exclamation mark, it means that Windows is either missing the correct driver or the driver isn't functioning properly. To resolve this, you'll need to install the proper driver.
