READING AND WRITING TELEMETRY DATA AND WARNING THRESHOLDS
All measured telemetry data and user programmed warning thresholds are communicated in 12-bit two’s
compliment binary numbers read/written in 2 byte increments conforming to the Direct format as described in
section 8.3.3 of the PMBus Power System Management Protocol Specification 1.1 (Part II). The organization of
the bits in the telemetry or warning word is shown in Table 40, where Bit_11 is the most significant bit (MSB) and
Bit_0 is the least significant bit (LSB). The decimal equivalent of all warning and telemetry words are constrained
to be within the range of 0 to 4095, with the exception of temperature. The decimal equivalent value of the
temperature word ranges from 0 to 65535.

Conversion from direct format to real-world dimensions of current, voltage, power, and temperature is
accomplished by determining appropriate coefficients as described in section 7.2.1 of the PMBus Power System
Management Protocol Specification 1.1 (Part II). According to this specification, the host system converts the
values received into a reading of volts, amperes, watts, or other units using the following relationship:
(37)
Where:
X: the calculated "real-world" value (volts, amps, watt, etc.)
m: the slope coefficient
Y: a two byte two's complement integer received from device
b: the offset, a two byte, two's complement integer
R: the exponent, a one byte two's complement integer
R is only necessary in systems where m is required to be an integer (for example, where m may be stored in a
register in an integrated circuit). In those cases, R only needs to be large enough to yield the desired accuracy.

) value of
1mΩ. In general, the current/power coefficients can be calculated using the relationships shown in Table 42.
