PRODUCTION DATA
CLEAR_FAULTS is a standard PMBus command that resets all latched warning/fault/status flags and de-asserts the SMBA signal. If a fault or warning condition still exists when the CLEAR_FAULTS command is executed, the SMBA signal can re-assert almost immediately or may not de-assert at all. Issuing the CLEAR_FAULTS command alone does not cause the eFuse to switch back ON in the event of a turn-off due to any fault. That must be done by issuing an OPERATION OFF command followed by OPERATION ON command or a POWER_CYCLE command after the fault condition clears, or through an auto-retry sequence. This command has no effect on Blackbox EEPROM memory contents.
This command uses the PMBus send byte protocol. There is no data byte for this command. This command is write only.
TI recommends sending the CLEAR_FAULTS command after every successful power up of the device to clear the warning and fault bits set in the status registers during initialization, if any. This also establishes the SMBA is de-asserted.
