PMBus Command Description
VOUT_MODE
This command is read only and specifies the mode and exponent for all commands with a L16 data format. See Data
Formats table on page 28.
VOUT_MODE Data Contents
BIT(S) SYMBOL
OPERATION
b[7:5] Vout_mode_type
Reports linear mode. Hard wired to 000b.
b[4:0] Vout_mode_parameter Linear mode exponent. 5-bit two’s complement integer. Hardwired to 0x13 (–13 decimal).
Output Voltage Related Commands
VOUT_COMMAND, VOUT_MAX, VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH, VOUT_MARGIN_LOW, VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT, VOUT_
OV_WARN_LIMIT, VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT, VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT, POWER_GOOD_ON and POWER_GOOD_OFF
These commands all use the same format and provide various servo, margining, and supervising limits for a channel’s
output voltage. When odd channels are configured to measure current, the OV_WARN_LIMIT, UV_WARN_LIMIT,
OV_FAULT_LIMIT and UV_FAULT_LIMIT commands are not supported.
