VIREF is a manufacturer-specific command for configuring or reading a 6-bit reference threshold for overcurrent & short-circuit protections and active current sharing blocks as described in Section 7.3.4.2, Section 7.3.4.3, and Section 7.3.4.4. This command uses the PMBus® DIRECT format. When reading and writing to this register, use the coefficients shown in Table 7-65, Equation 14, and Equation 15 to convert between the real world units and hexadecimal values.
This command uses the PMBus® read or write byte protocol.
Contents of this register drive a DAC to set the threshold for different comparators monitoring the input current. The details of this register are shown in Table 8-67.
| Bit | Name | Description | Minimum Value | Maximum Value | Default Value | Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
7:0 | VIREF | Programmable reference voltage for overcurrent & short-circuit protections and active current sharing blocks | 0x00h (0.3V) | 0x3Fh (1.186V) | 0x32h (1V) | Read/Write |
A write command to this register should be preceded by the MFR_WRITE_PROTECT command to unlock the device first to prevent accidental accidental/spurious writes.
