Description/Notes: 
Several commands in the MAX15301 can be set directly by resistor value connected to a device pin, 
or are set indirectly according to the value of other pin-configurable commands. Of these “pin-
configurable” commands, the STRAP_DISABLE command keeps track of those that have been directly 
altered by a user through the SMBus serial interface. 
When one of the commands in the table below is  edited, the corresponding bit-
flag in 
STRAP_DISABLE is set, and this flag prevents the device from automatically setting the value of that 
command in the future, preserving the user-set value instead. 
Note that the STRAP_DISABLE command can be saved in the USER and DEFAULT nonvolatile stores. In 
order to disable pin-configuration of a command, the flag for that command must be 1, and a 
STORE_USER_ALL
 operation must have been performed, to ensure that the device powers up with 
the flag set in the working-memory version of STRAP_DISABLE. (This process is handled automatically 
without need for special user interaction in most situations.) 
To restore pin-configuration capability for a command, clear the corresponding bit in STRAP_DISABLE 
and send the STORE_USER_ALL command.

Comments 
15  INTERLEAVE 
Command set indirectly by the SMBus slave address, from 
R
ADDR0
 and R
ADDR1
 resistor values. (Note that this STRAP_DISABLE 
bit is not actually used in the INTERLEAVE pin-strapping 
decision; any non-zero value of INTERLEAVE cancels the 
determination of phase relationship based on the PMBus 
address.) 
14  COMP_MODEL 
The F

process
