MFR_DAC
This command register allows the user to directly program the 10-bit DAC. Manual DAC writes require the channel
to be in the ON state,TON_RISE to have expired and MFR_CONFIG_LTC2978 b[5:4] = 10b or 11b. Writing MFR_
CONFIG_LTC2978 b[5:4] = 10b commands the DAC to hard-connect with the value in Mfr_dac_direct_val. Writing
b[5:4] = 11b commands the DAC to soft-connect. Once the DAC has soft-connected, Mfr_dac_direct_val returns the
value that allowed the DAC to be connected without perturbing the power supply. MFR_DAC writes are ignored when
MFR_CONFIG_LTC2978 b[5:4] = 00b or 01b.
MFR_DAC Data Contents
BIT(S) SYMBOL OPERATION
b[15:10] Reserved Read only, always returns 0.
b[9:0] Mfr_dac_direct_val DAC code value.
MFR_POWERGOOD_ASSERTION_DELAY
This command register allows the user to program the delay from when the internal power good signal becomes valid
until the power good output is asserted. This delay is counted using SHARE_CLK if available, otherwise the internal
oscillator is used. This delay is internally limited to 13.1 seconds, and rounded to the nearest 200µs. The read value
of this command always returns what was last written and does not reflect internal limiting.
MFR_POWERGOOD_ASSERTION_DELAY Data Contents
BIT(S) SYMBOL OPERATION
b[15:0] Mfr_powergood_assertion_delay The data uses the L11 format.
This delay is counted using SHARE_CLK if available, otherwise the internal oscillator is used.
Delays are rounded to the nearest 200µs.
Units: ms. Max delay is 13.1 sec.
WATCHDOG OPERATION
A non zero write to the MFR_WATCHDOG_T register will reset the watchdog timer. Low-to-high transitions on the
WDI/RESETB pin also reset the watchdog timer. If the timer expires, ALERTB is asserted and the PWRGD output
is optionally deasserted and then reasserted after MFR_PWRGD_ASSERTION_DELAY ms. Writing 0 to either the
MFR_WATCH_DOG_T or MFR_WATCHDOG_T_FIRST registers will disable the timer.
MFR_WATCHDOG_T_FIRST and MFR_WATCHDOG_T
The MFR_WATCHDOG_T_FIRST register allows the user to program the duration of the first watchdog timer interval
following assertion of the PWRGD pin, assuming the PWRGD pin reflects the status of the watchdog timer. If assertion
of PWRGD is not conditioned by the watchdog timer’s status, then MFR_WATCHDOG_T_FIRST applies to the first
timing interval after the timer is enabled. Writing a value of 0ms to the MFR_WATCHDOG_
T_FIRST register disables
the watchdog timer.
The MFR_WATCHDOG_T register allows the user to program watchdog time intervals subsequent to the MFR_
WATCHDOG_T_FIRST timing interval. Writing a value of 0ms to the MFR_WATCHDOG_T register disables the
watchdog timer. A non-zero write to MFR_WATCHDOG_T will reset the watchdog timer.
