ON_OFF_CONFIG 
Reference: 
Standard Command 
Lockable: 
Yes 
Command Code: 
0x02 
Format: 
Bit field 
Data Bytes: 
1 
Units: 
N/A 
Transfer: 
Read/Write Byte 
Factory Value: 
0x16 (see Description table) 
Description/Notes: 
See Section 12.2 of the PMBus Specification Part II. 
Useful Values for the ON_OFF_CONFIG command: 
0x00  Output always enabled (note: same as 0x01-0x0F) 
0x10  Output always disabled (note: same as 0x11-0x13) 
0x14  Ignore bit 7 of OPERATION
, require EN low to run, soft-off on loss of EN 
0x15  Ignore bit 7 of OPERATION, require EN low to run, immediate-off on loss of EN 
0x16  Ignore bit 7 of OPERATION, require EN high to run, soft-off on loss of EN (factory setting) 
0x17  Ignore bit 7 of OPERATION, require EN high to run, immediate-off on loss of EN 
0x18  Require bit 7 of OPERATION to run, ignore EN (note: same as 0x19-0x1B) 
0x1C  Require bit 7 of OPERATION and EN low to run, soft-off on loss of EN 
0x1D  Require bit 7 of OPERATION and EN low to run, immediate-off on loss of EN 
0x1E  Require bit 7 of OPERATION and EN high to run, soft-off on loss of EN 
0x1F  Require bit 7 of OPERATION and EN high to run, immediate-off on loss of EN 
In general, odd values of ON_OFF_CONFIG that require a valid EN signal will have an immediate-off 
shutdown when EN is not valid. Even values that require EN will have a soft-off shutdown when EN is 
not valid. 
After writing the ON_OFF_CONFIG command to enable the output, the PMBus master must either 
wait for a time equal to (TON_DELAY + TON_RISE + 50ms), or wait for PG to assert, before sending 
additional PMBus commands. 
VIN_ON 
Reference: 
Standard Command 
Lockable: 
Yes 
Command Code: 
0x35 
Format: 
Linear 
Data Bytes: 
2 
Units: 
V 
Transfer: 
Read/Write Word 
Factory Value: 
0xCB00 (6.0V) 
Description/Notes: 
See Section 14.5 of the PMBus Specification Part II. 
The MAX15303 hardware has 8-bit resolution for the minimum input voltage required for regulation, 
to a maximum value of ≈14.75V. 
The desired value of VIN_ON is retained in memory, regardless limitations imposed by the 8-bit fault 
limit resolution, but the read-back value is based on actual hardware register settings. 
VIN_OFF 
Reference: 
Standard Command 
Lockable: 
Yes 
Command Code: 
0x36 
Format: 
Linear 
Data Bytes: 
2 
Units: 
V 
Transfer: 
Read/Write Word 
Factory Value: 
0xCAC0 (5.5V)
