Table 16. STATUS_BYTE
immediately (either through the OPERATION command or the CONTROL pin), the TOFF_DELAY value is ignored. The
2 data bytes are in DIRECT format.
STATUS_BYTE (78h)
The STATUS_BYTE command returns 1 byte of information with a summary of the most critical faults. A value of 1 indi-
cates that a fault or warning event has occurred and a 0 indicates otherwise. Bits for unsupported features are reported
Table 17. STATUS_WORD
as 0. The STATUS_BYTE cannot be restored by the RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL command. The STATUS_BYTE message
content is described in Table 16. This command is read-only.
STATUS_WORD (79h)
BIT BIT NAME MEANING
7:6 0 These bits always return a 0.
5 VOUT_OV An overvoltage fault has occurred.
4 IOUT_OC An overcurrent fault has occurred.
3 0 This bit always returns a 0.
2 TEMPERATURE A temperature fault or warning has occurred.
1 CML A communication, memory, or logic fault has occurred.
0 NONE OF THE ABOVE A fault or warning not listed in bits [7:1] has occurred.
