Detailed Description

Overview

The TPS53667 device is a DCAP+ mode adaptive on-time controller.

The output voltage is set using a DAC that outputs a reference in accordance with the 8-bit VID code defined in Table 1. In adaptive on-time converters, the controller varies the on-time as a function of input and output voltage to maintain a nearly constant frequency during steady-state conditions. In conventional voltage-mode constant on-time converters, each cycle begins when the output voltage crosses to a fixed reference level. However, in the TPS53667 device, the cycle begins when the current feedback reaches an error voltage level which corresponds to the amplified voltage difference between the DAC voltage and the feedback output voltage with droop. In the case of multi-phase operations, the current feedback from all the phases is summed, and is amplified using the ISUM pin to adjust the load-line. Also zero-load line operation can be easily configured with external resistor or internal NVM selection.

Feature Description

V3R3 LDO

V3R3 is an LDO output generated from V5. It is used as internal digital circuit supply and 1-uF to 4.7-uF ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND pin is recommended.

When V5 exceeds VV5UVLOH (4.25 V typically), V3R3 begins to ramp up. The startup time for V3R3 is approximately 600 µs as shown in Figure 7.

TPS53667 v3r3_startup_slusc39.gif Figure 7. V3R3 Startup Waveform

After V3R3 has reached its operational level, the TPS53667 begins to initialize the internal circuit and reads the pinstrap configurations. This pinstrap reading completes in approximately 1.2 ms, and can communicate to the PMBus 1.5 ms after V3R3 powers up.

NOTE

This device does not require a high ENABLE signal in order for the V3R3 LDO to start up.

Use V3R3 as pull-up voltage for CSPx (to disable phases), ENABLE, VR_RDY, VR_HOT, and VR_FAULT. Because the V3R3 maximum current capability is approximately 5 mA, choose pull-up resistances carefully.

Directly tie CSP6,CSP5, CSP4, CSP3 or CSP2 to the V3R3 pin according to to disable the corresponding phase.

PWM Operation

As shown in the Functional Block Diagram, in 6-phase continuous conduction mode, the device operates as described in Figure 8.

TPS53667 dcap_waveforms_sluscc6.gif Figure 8. D-CAP+ Mode Basic Waveforms

Starting with the condition that the high-side FETs are off and the low-side FETs are on, the summed current feedback (VISUM) is higher than the summed error amplifier output (VCOMP) and the internal ramp signal (VRAMP). ISUM falls until it hits VCOMP+VRAMP, which contains a component of the output ripple voltage. The PWM comparator senses where the two waveforms cross and triggers the on-time generator. This generates the internal SW_CLK. Each SW_CLK corresponds to one switching ON pulse for one phase.

In case of single-phase operation, every SW_CLK generates a switching pulse on the same phase. Also, VISUM corresponds to just a single-phase inductor current.

In case of multi-phase operation, the SW_CLK gets distributed to each of the phases in a cycle. This approach of using the summed inductor current and cyclically distributing the ON pulses to each phase automatically gives the required interleaving of 360 / n, where n is the number of phases.

Current Sense and IMON Calculation

The TPS53667 device provides independent channels of current feedback for every phase to increase the system accuracy and reduce the dependence of circuit performance on layout compared to an externally summed architecture. The current sensing signals are from TI smart power stages (at 5mV/A) (ex: CSD9549x) and are already temperature-compensated. The pins CSP1, CSP2, CSP3, CSP4, CSP5, and CSP6 are used for the individual phases of the phase current sensing.

The sensed currents are then summed together and generate a current output to IMON pin. A resistor is connected to IMON pin to generate the VIMON voltage.

Equation 1. TPS53667 q_vimon2_slusc39.gif

where

  • VCSPx is the voltage of CSPx pin
  • n is the number of active phases
  • RIMON is the value of resistor between the IMON pin and GND in kΩ

Then the VIMON voltage translates to a digital IMON reading as shown in Equation 2.

Equation 2. TPS53667 q_imon_slusc39.gif

where

  • 0.85 is the voltage correlated to IMAX

When VIMON is 0.85 V, the IMON reading should be equal to IMAX.

The digital IMON then can be reported to the system by using PMBus command READ_IOUT.

Setting the Load-Line (DROOP)

TPS53667 loadline_droop_slusc39.gif Figure 9. Load Line

A resistor between the ISUM pin and the VREF pin sets the load line in non-zero load line mode.

Equation 3. TPS53667 q_vdroop_slusc39.gif

where

  • gM(isum) is the gain of the internal ISUM amplifier, (500 µS typical)
  • RISUM is the value of resistor between the ISUM pin and the VREF pin to adjust the load line
  • RCS is the effective current sense resistance of TI smart power stages, (5 mΩ for CSD9549x)
  • IOUT is the load current

A desired zero load-line can be implemented by putting a 0 Ω between ISUM and VREF pins or by shorting the ISUM and VREF pins directly.

Load Transitions

When there is a sudden load increase, the output voltage immediately drops. The TPS53667 device reacts to this drop in a rising voltage on the COMP pin. This rise forces the PWM pulses to come in sooner and more frequently which causes the inductor current to rapidly increase. As the inductor current reaches the new load current, the device reaches a steady-state operating condition and the PWM switching resumes the steady-state frequency.

When there is a sudden load release, the output voltage flies high. The TPS53667 device reacts to this rise in a falling voltage on the COMP pin. This drop forces the PWM pulses to be delayed until the inductor current reaches the new load current. At that point, the switching resumes and steady-state switching continues.

Please note in Figure 10 and Figure 11, the ripples on VOUT, VRAMP, and VCOMP voltages are not shown for simplicity.

TPS53667 load_release_sluscc6.gif Figure 11. Load Release

Overshoot Reduction (OSR)

The problem of overshoot in low duty-cycle synchronous buck converters is well known, and results from the output inductor having a small voltage (VOUT) with which to respond to a transient load release.

For simplicity, Figure 12 shows a single phase converter. In an ideal converter, with typical input voltage of 12 V and a 1.0-V output, the inductor has 11.0 V (12 V – 1.0 V) to respond to a transient load increase, but only 1.0 V to respond once the load releases.

TPS53667 sync_converter_slusc39.gif Figure 12. Representative Schematic of Synchronous Buck Converter Circuit

With the Overshoot Reduction (OSR) feature enabled, when the summed voltage of VOUT and VDROOP exceeds the DAC voltage VDAC by the OSR value specified in the Electrical Characteristics table, the PWM pulses immediately become tri-state to turn off both the high-side and low-side FETs. When the low-side FETs are turned OFF, the energy in the inductor is partially dissipated by the body diodes. Please note the ON pulse width can be also truncated immediately regardless of the load transient timing, and this feature can further reduce the overshoot when compared to the conventional constant on-time controllers as shown in Figure 13 .

TPS53667 osr_sluscc6.gif Figure 13. Performance for a Load Transient Release with OSR Enabled

Undershoot Reduction (USR)

When the transient load increase becomes quite large, it becomes difficult to meet the energy demanded by the load especially at lower input voltages. Then it is necessary to quickly increase the energy in the inductors during the transient load increase. This is achieved in TPS53667 by enabling pulse overlapping. In order to maintain the interleaving of the multi-phase configuration and yet be able to have pulse-overlapping during load-insertion, the Undershoot Reduction (USR) mode is entered only when necessary. This mode is entered when the difference between DAC voltage and the summed voltage of VOUT and VDROOP exceeds the USR voltage level specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.

The waveforms in Figure 14 indicate the performance with USR. It can be seen that it is possible to eliminate undershoot by enabling USR. This allows reduced output capacitance to be used and still meets the specification.

When the transient condition is over, the interleaving of the phases is resumed.

AutoBalance™ Current Sharing

The basic mechanism for current sharing is to sense the average phase current, then adjust the pulse width of each phase to equalize the current in each phase as shown in Figure 15. The PWM comparator (not shown) starts a pulse when the feedback voltage meets the reference. The VIN voltage charges Ct(on) through Rt(on). The pulse terminates when the voltage at Ct(on) matches the on-time reference, which normally equals the DAC voltage (VDAC).

The circuit operates in the following fashion. First assume that the 5-µs averaged value from each phase current are equal. In this case, the PWM modulator terminates at VDAC, and the normal pulse width is delivered to the system. If instead, I1 > IAVG, then an offset is subtracted from VDAC, and the pulse width for Phase 1 is shortened to reduce the phase current in Phase 1 for balancing. If I1 < IAVG, then a longer pulse is generated to increase the phase current in Phase 1 to achieve current balancing.

Phase Overlap

In TPS53667, phase overlap is allowed during both steady state and transient operation. The duty cycle is not limited to 1/n (where n is the phase number) unlike TPS53647

VID

The DAC voltage VDAC can be changed according to Table 1.

The slew rate for a change is set by the resistor at SLEW-MODE pin, as defined in the Electrical Characteristics table.

PWM and SKIP Signals

The PWM and SKIP-NVM signals are output from the controller to drive the TI smart power stages. Both signals are 3.3-V logic based. The PWM signal is logic high to turn on the high-side MOSFET and logic low to turn on the low-side MOSFET. When both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are expected to be OFF, the PWM signal is driven to tri-state condition (1.7 V). The SKIP-NVM pin is asserted low during the soft-start period.

TSEN (Thermal Sense) Pin

TI smart power stage (ex: CSD9549x) senses the die temperature and sends out the temperature information as a voltage through the TAO pin. In a multi-phase application, the TAO pin of the TI smart power stages are connected and then tied to the TSEN pin of the TPS53667 device. In this case, the device reports the temperature of the hottest power stage. The reported temperature can be calculated as shown in Equation 4.

Equation 4. TPS53667 q_temp_slusc39.gif

where

  • TEMP is the sensed temperature in °C
  • VTSEN is the voltage at TSEN pin

NOTE

The maximum temperature that can be sensed is 127.9 °C. If the TSEN voltage (VTSEN ) is higher than the voltage associated to 127.9 °C, the device continues to report 127.9 °C.

TSEN signal is also used as an indicator for power stage fault. When an internal fault occurs in the TI smart power stage (CSD9549x), the power stage pulls the TAO pin high. In the default configuration, if the TSEN voltage is higher than 2.5 V, the TPS53667 device senses the fault and turns off both the high-side and the low-side MOSFETS. There is also an option to disable power stage fault as described in MFR_SPECIFIC_07[3].

TPS53667 tempsense_slusc40.gif Figure 16. Temperature Sense

RESET Function

During adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) operation, the voltage may become falsely adjusted to be out of ASIC operating range. The RESET function returns the voltage to the VBOOT voltage. When the voltage is out of ASIC operating range, the ASIC issues a RESET signal to the TPS53667 device, as shown in Figure 17. The device senses this signal and after a delay of greater than 1 µs, it sets an internal RESET_FAULT signal and sets VOUT_COMMAND to VBOOT. The device pulls the output voltage to the VBOOT level with the slew rate set by SLEW-MODE pin, as shown in Figure 18.

When the RESET pin signal goes high, the internal RESET_FAULT signal goes low.

TPS53667 reset_delay_wave_slusc40.gif Figure 18. Reset Function

Input UVLO

The TPS53667 device continuously monitors the input voltage through the VIN pin. If the input voltage is lower than the UVLO low threshold, the device turns off. If VIN rises higher than the UVLO high threshold, the controller turns on again (if both V5 and ENABLE are high). The hysteresis is approximately 1.05 V.

Table 2. Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

VIN UVLO SETTING TURN-ON VOLTAGE (V) TURN-OFF VOLTAGE (V)
MFR_SPEC_16[1:0] = 00 4.5 3.5
MFR_SPEC_16[1:0] = 01 (Default) 7.25 6.25
MFR_SPEC_16[1:0] = 10 7.9 6.9
MFR_SPEC_16[1:0] = 11 10.3 9.3

V5 Pin Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The TPS53667 device also monitors V5 pin voltage. If the voltage is lower than VV5UVLOL (4.05 V typical), the controller turns off. If V5 voltage comes back to be higher than VV5UVLOH (4.25 V typical), the controller turns back on (if both VIN and ENABLE are high).

Output Undervoltage Protection (UVP)

The output undervoltage protection in the TPS53667 device is called tracking UVP. When the output voltage drops below (VDAC–VDROOP–VRDYL), the controller drives the PWM into a tri-state condition so that both high-side and low-side MOSFETs turn off. After a hiccup delay (22-ms typical), the device attempts to restart to VBOOT voltage. If the UVP condition continues, the UVP occurs again and the process repeats.

Overvoltage Protection (OVP)

The OVP condition is detected when the output voltage VOUT > VDAC + tracking OVP offset (VOVPT5 for VR12.5 or VOVPT0 for VR12.0) , which is called tracking OVP. In this case the controller drives the VR_RDY pin to inactive (low state) and drives all PWM signals to logic low which turns on the low-side MOSFET to discharge the output. However the OVP threshold is blanked during a VDAC change. In order to continually protect the load, there is second OVP level (fixed OVP). The second OVP level is fixed at VOVPH5 (VR12.5) or VOVPH0 (VR12.0) is active during VDAC change. If the fixed OVP condition is detected, the device drives the VR_RDY pin to inactive (logic low) and drives the PWM signals to logic low in order to turn on the low-side MOSFET. The controller remains in this state until the ENABLE or V5 is re-cycled.

For both tracking OVP and fixed OVP, the controller will try to restart after a hiccup delay (~22ms). If the OV condition still exists, the controller will pull PWM signal to logic low and enter into anther hiccup cycle. If after 3 hiccup cycles, the OV condition still exists, the controller will latch PWM signal to logic low until ENABLE or V5 is re-cycled.

When ENABLE is low, and output voltage is higher than VOVPFP (2.75 V typical), the OVP condition is detected, which is called Pre-bias OVP. The device then drives the PWM signals to logic low. The device latches the pre-bias OVP. The latch can be cleared only by recycling V5.

Overcurrent Limit (OCL) and Overcurrent Protection (OCP)

The TPS53667 device includes a valley-current-based limit function by using a per-phase OCL comparator. A resistor connected between the OCL-R pin and the VREF pin generates the OCL comparison threshold.

Using the valley current limit, the OCL current level can be selected using Equation 5. To set the per-phase OCL threshold, subtract half of the ripple current from the maximum average current and select the OCL threshold specified in the table equal or slight lower than IOCL.

Equation 5. TPS53667 q_iocl_lusbz3.gif

where

  • K is the maximum operating margin percentage
  • n is the number of active phases
  • IRIPPLE is the ripple current

This instantaneous current sense voltage VCSPx is compared to the OCL threshold. If the current sense voltage at OCL comparator goes above the OCL threshold, the device delays the next ON pulse until the current sense voltage drops below the OCL threshold. In this case, the output voltage continues to drop until the UVP threshold is reached.

Another overcurrent protection (OCP) is based on the current sensed through IMON pin of the device. When the digitized IMON is higher than OC_FAULT_LIMIT (1.25× IMAX by default), the controller turns off both high-side and low-side MOSFETS and enters into hiccup mode until the overcurrent condition is removed.

Current Sharing Warning and Phase Fault Detect

TPS53667 can detect faulty phases with the current sharing warning feature. If the current of a certain phase is lower than the average current by certain threshold (set by MFR_SPECiFIC_19, default is 8A), the controller can turn off the faulty phase while keeping the other phases in operation (This is also configurable by MFR_SPECIFIC_19[7]). The faulty phase can be read from STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC[5:3].

The phase interleaving is not adjusted when the faulty phase is turned off. The controller phase interleaving operates as if the faulty phase still is still operating. This behavior has the affect of slightly increasing the output voltage ripple.

When there are only two phases in operation, this feature is disabled. For example, even if one of the phases has current lower than average, it does not turn off.

Turn off Individual Phase by PMBus

Individual phases can also be turned off by using the PMBus command MFR_SPECIFIC_24(0xE8). Please see MFR_SPECIFIC_24 (E8h)section for more details.

The MFR_SPECIFIC_24 setting can be effective before the controller is enabled. For example, when a certain phase is turned off by MFR_SPECIFIC_24 before Enable goes high, this phase does not turn on after Enable.

Phase Shedding

Phase Shedding is enabled with MFR_SPECIFIC_13[4]. Phase shedding allows the user to optimize efficiency over a wider range of loads. Using only one or two phases is often more efficient when the load is drawing a smaller amount of current, than using all six phases.

The points at which phases are shed can be set by MFR_SPECIFIC_15 (Dynamic Phase Shedding Thresholds) (DFh).

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

When the sensed temperature through TSEN pin is higher than the over temperature fault threshold OTPTHLD(125°C by default), the controller turns off high-side and low-side MOSFETS. The power stages cool down and TSEN voltage drops. When the sensed temperature is 15°C (OTPHYS) lower than the over temperature fault threshold, the controller restarts to the VBOOT voltage.

VR_HOT and VR_FAULT Indication

When the sensed temperature is higher than the maximim temperature specification TMAX, (110°C by default), the device pulls the VR_HOT pin low. This adjustment provides a warning signal to the load.

NOTE

Only the PMBus interface can establish the maximum temperature (TMAX) setting. NVM does not store this setting.

VR_FAULT is used as an indication of severe fault. VR_FAULT wil be pulled low when the below fault occurs:

  • Input Overcurrent Fault
  • Over Temperature Fault
  • Overvoltage Fault
  • Power Stage Fault (VTSEN> 2.5V)

Programming

User Selections

When SKIP-NVM pin is connected to GND with ≤ 20-kΩ resistor, the resistors connected to O-USR, F-IMAX, SLEW-MODE, OCL-R, VBOOT and ADDR-TRISE determine the associated configurations. If SKIP-NVM pin is connected to GND with ≥ 100-kΩ resistor, these configurations are determined by NVM settings. Please note the address setting is determined only by the resistors on the ADDR-TRISE pin and cannot be set by NVM. When the V3R3 pin powers up, the following information is latched for normal operations, and can be changed via the PMBus interface. The Electrical Characteristics table defines the values of the selections.

In general, the NVM provides more selection than pinstrap configurations. For example, pinstrap for switching frequency offers 3-bit, 8 selections, which correlates to MFR_SPEC_12<6:4>. Alternatively, NVM provides 4-bit, 16 selections.

Switching Frequency

The resistor from F-IMAX pin to GND sets the switching frequency from 300 kHz to 1 MHz. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the resistor settings corresponding to each frequency selection. Please note that the operating frequency is a quasi-fixed frequency in the sense that the ON time is fixed based on the input voltage (at the VIN pin) and output voltage (set by VID). The OFF time varies based on various factors such as load and power-stage components.

IMAX Information

The max current information of the load(IMAX) can be set by the voltage on the F-IMAX pin. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the details. The default OCP fault trigger level is 125% of IMAX.

Boot Voltage

The boot voltage is the controller voltage at start-up to before any output voltage change by the VOUT_COMMAND. If there is no further output voltage adjustment, the output voltage remains at the boot voltage level.

The resistor from the VBOOT pin to GND and the voltage level on this pin set 7 high bits of the boot voltage. The lowest bit is set by the ADDR-TRISE pin. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the resistor settings corresponding to boot voltage selections.

Per-Phase Overcurrent Limit (OCL) Level

The resistor from the OCL-R pin to GND and the voltage level on this pin set the per-phase OCL level. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the details.

Overshoot Reduction (OSR) and Undershoot Reduction (USR) Levels

The resistor from the O-USR pin to GND and the voltage on O-USR pin set the OSR and USR levels. See the Electrical Characteristics table for details.

Slew Rate Selection

The VOUT change slew rate is set by the resistor from the SLEW-MODE pin to GND. See the Electrical Characteristics table for details.

Mode Selections

The TPS53667 device supports different operating modes, including VR12.0/VR12.5, phase interleaving mode, dynamic phase shedding, and zero load-line. The voltage on SLEW-MODE pin sets the desired operating modes.

Soft Start Slew Rate and PMBus Addresses

The resistor from the ADDR-TRISE pin to GND and the voltage on ADDR-TRISE pin set the slew rate of soft start and the address of PMBus interface. See the Electrical Characteristics table for details.

Ramp Selection

The internal ramp can be set by the voltage on the OCL-R pin. See the Electrical Characteristics table for details.

Maximum Active Phase Numbers

The maximum active phase numbers can be selected by connecting CSP2, CSP3, CSP4, CSP5 or CSP6 to the V3R3. See Table 3 for details. The device latches this configuration when V3R3 powers up.

Supported Protections and Fault Reports

The TPS53667 device supports different types of fault protections, and the warning or fault reports can be found in the corresponding PMBus registers. The TPS53667 also supports VR_FAULT to indicate catastrophic faults to the system. If the fault causes the controller to latch-off, then V5 or EN re-cycling is required to clear the latched faults. Only V5 recycling can clear PRE_OVF .

PMBus Description

PMBus General

Timing and electrical characteristics of the PMBus can be found in the PMB Power Management Protocol Specification, Part 1, revision 1.1 available at http://PMBus.org. The TPS53667 device supports both the 100-kHz and 400-kHz bus timing requirements. The TPS53667 device does not stretch pulses on the PMBus when communicating with the master device.

Communication over the TPS53667 device PMBus interface can support the packet error checking (PEC) scheme if desired. If the master supplies CLK pulses for the PEC byte, PEC is used. If the CLK pulses are not present before a STOP, the PEC is not used.

The TPS53667 device supports a subset of the commands in the PMBus 1.1 specification. Most of the controller parameters can be programmed using the PMBus and stored as defaults for later use. All commands that require data input or output use the literal format. The exponent of the data words is fixed at a reasonable value for the command and altering the exponent is not supported. Direct format data input or output is not supported by the TPS53667 device. See the Supported PMBus Commands section for specific details.

The TPS53667 device also supports the SMBALERT response protocol. The SMBALERT response protocol is a mechanism by which a slave (the TPS53667 device) can alert the bus master that it wants to talk. The master processes this event and simultaneously accesses all slaves on the bus (that support the protocol) through the alert response address. Only the slave that caused the alert acknowledges this request. The host performs a modified receive byte operation to get the slave’s address. At this point, the master can use the PMBus status commands to query the slave that caused the alert. For more information on the SMBus alert response protocol, see the System Management Bus (SMBus) specification.

The TPS53667 device contains non-volatile memory that is used to store configuration settings and scale factors. The settings programmed into the device are not automatically saved into this non-volatile memory though. The STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command must be used to commit the current settings to non-volatile memory as device defaults. The settings that are capable of being stored in non-volatile memory are noted in their detailed descriptions.

PMBus Connections

The TPS53667 device can operate in either standard mode (100kbit/s) or fast mode (400kbit/s). Connection for the PMBus interface should follow the High Power DC specifications given in Section 3.1.3 of the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification V2.0 for the 400-kHz bus speed or the Low Power DC specifications in Section 3.1.2. The complete SMBus specification is available from the SMBus website, smbus.org.

Supported Data Formats

The TPS53667 device supports both linear and VID data formats. The linear data format is used for all telemetry reporting data, and VID formatting for certain other commands. (see the Supported PMBus Commands section for more details on which command supports each data type). Examples of commands that support VID formatting include VOUT_MODE (Read-only Byte) and VOUT_COMMAND (Read/Write Word). An example of each can be seen below in Figure 21 and Figure 22.

TPS53667 pro_vout_mode_data_byte_slusaz3.gif Figure 21. VOUT_MODE Data Byte for VID Mode
TPS53667 pro_vout_command_data_byte_slusaz3.gif Figure 22. VOUT_COMMAND Data Bytes for VID Mode

The Linear Data Format is a two byte value with:

  • An 11-bit, two's complement mantissa, and
  • A 5-bit, two's complement exponent (scaling factor).

The format of the two bytes is shown in Figure 23.

TPS53667 pro_linear_data_byte_slusaz3.gif Figure 23. Linear Data Format Data Bytes

The relation between Y, N, and the real world value is as shown in Equation 6.

Equation 6. X = Y × 2N

where

  • X is the real world value
  • Y is an 11-bit, two's complement integer
  • N is a 5-bit, two's complement integer

Note that devices that use the Linear format must accept and be able to process any value of N.

PMBus Command Format

The TPS53667 device is a PMBus-compliant device. Figure 24 through Figure 35 show the major communication protocols used. For full details on the PMBus communication protocols, please visit http://pmbus.org.

Description The VOUT_MAX command sets an upper limit on the output voltage that the unit can command regardless of any other commands or combinations. The intent of this command is to provide a safeguard against a user accidentally setting the output voltage to a possibly destructive level.
The device detects that an attempt has been made to program the output to a voltage greater than the value set by the VOUT_MAX command. This will then be treated as a warning condition and not a fault condition. If an attempt is made to program the output voltage higher than the limit set by this command, the device responds as follows:
  • The commanded output voltage is set to VOUT_MAX,
  • The OTHER bit is set in the STATUS_BYTE,
  • The VOUT bit is set in the STATUS_WORD,
  • The VOUT_MAX warning bit is set in the STATUS_VOUT register, and
  • The device notifies the host (asserts PMBUS_ALERT).
The data bytes are two bytes, which are in right-justified VID format. The VID table mapping determined by the selected VID protocols (VR12.0 or VR12.5) from the SLEW_MODE pin or MFR_SPECIFIC_13.

MFR_VOUT_MIN (A4h)

Format VID
Description The MFR_VOUT_MIN command sets an lower limit on the output voltage that the unit can command regardless of any other commands or combinations. The intent of this command is to provide a safeguard against a user accidentally setting the output voltage to a possibly non-operational level.
The device detects that an attempt has been made to program the output to a voltage lower than the value set by the MFR_VOUT_MIN command. The device treats this detection as a warning condition and not a fault condition. If an attempt is made to program the output voltage lower than the limit set by this command, the device responds as follows:
  • The commanded output voltage is set to MFR_VOUT_MIN,
  • The OTHER bit is set in the STATUS_BYTE,
  • The VOUT bit is set in the STATUS_WORD,
  • The MFR_VOUT_MIN warning bit is set in the STATUS_VOUT register, and
  • The device notifies the host (asserts PMBUS_ALERT).
The data bytes are two bytes, which are in right-justified VID format. The VID table mapping determined by the selected VID protocols (VR12.0 or VR12.5) from the SLEW_MODE pin or MFR_SPECIFIC_13.
