PMBus COMMAND DETAILS
MFR_COMMON. Either bit is low if the part is busy. If this wait time is not met, and the VOUT_COMMAND is modified
above the old overvoltage limit, an OV condition might temporarily be detected resulting in undesirable behavior and
possible damage to the switcher.
If VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE is set to OV_PULLDOWN, the GPIO pin will not assert if VOUT_OV_FAULT is propa
-
gated. The LTC3880 will pull the TG low and assert the BG bit as soon as the overvoltage condition is detected.
This command has two data bytes and is formatted in Linear_16u format.
VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT
The VOUT_OV_W
ARN_LIMIT command sets the value of the output voltage measured at the sense pins, in volts, which
causes an output voltage high warning. The READ_VOUT value will be used to determine if this limit has been exceeded.
In response to the VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT being exceeded, the device:
• Sets the NONE_OF_THE_ABOVE bit in the STATUS_BYTE
• Sets the VOUT bit in the STATUS_WORD
• Sets the VOUT Overvoltage Warning bit in the STATUS_VOUT command
• Notifies the host by asserting ALERT pin
This condition is detected by the ADC so the response time may be up to 100ms.
This command has two data bytes and is formatted in Linear_16u format.
VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH
The VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH command loads the unit with the voltage to which the output is to be changed, in volts,
when the OPERATION command is set to “Margin High”. The value must be greater than VOUT_COMMAND.
This command will not be acted on during TON_RISE and TOFF_FALL output sequencing. The VOUT_TRANSITION_RATE
will be used if this command is modified while the output is active and in a steady-state condition.
This command has two data bytes and is formatted in Linear_16u format.
VOUT_COMMAND
The VOUT_COMMAND consists of two bytes and is used to set the output voltage, in volts.
This command will not be acted on during TON_RISE and TOFF_FALL output sequencing. The VOUT_TRANSITION_RATE
will be used if this command is modified while the output is active and in a steady-state condition.
This command has two data bytes and is formatted in Linear_16u format.
VOUT_MARGIN_LOW
The VOUT_MARGIN_LOW command loads the unit with the voltage to which the output is to be changed, in volts,
when the OPERATION command is set to “Margin Low”. The value must be less than VOUT_COMMAND.
This command will not be acted on during TON_RISE and TOFF_FALL output sequencing. The VOUT_TRANSITION_RATE
will be used if this command is modified while the output is active and in a steady-state condition.
This command has two data bytes and is formatted in Linear_16u format.
