STATUS_CML (Address = 7Eh) [Reset = 00h]

STATUS_CML is shown in Figure 8-23 and described in Table 8-25.

Write Transaction: Write Byte
Read Transaction: Read Byte
Data Format: Unsigned Binary (1 byte)
NVM Back-up: No
Updates: On-the-fly The STATUS_CML command returns one data byte with contents relating to communications, logic, and memory as follows. All supported bits may be cleared either by (03h) CLEAR_FAULTS, turning on the output through the mechanism programmed into (02h) ON_OFF_CONFIG, or individually by writing 1b to the STATUS_CML register in their position, per the PMBus 1.3.1 Part II specification section 10.2.3.

  • 0h = Latched flag indicating an invalid or unsupported command was NOT received.
  • 1h = Latched flag indicating an invalid or unsupported command was received.
6IVDR/W0h
  • 0h = Latched flag indicating an invalid or unsupported data was NOT received.
  • 1h = Latched flag indicating an invalid or unsupported data was received.
5PEC_FAILR/W0h
  • 0h = Latched flag indicating NO packet error check has failed.
  • 1h = Latched flag indicating a packet error check has failed.
4MEMR/W0h The source of the fault could be one of the following sources internally: Failure parity check during/after STORE_USER_ALL. During reset RESTORE (i.e., EEPROM restore at boot-up), either a mismatch between the EEPROM contents and the register contents; OR a failure to pass parity checks. When the user issues a RESTORE_USER_ALL command, a failure to pass parity checks. Failure during the NVM programming sequence. This bit cannot be cleared by any clearing mechanism until the underlying issue is resolved and the memory is updated.
  • 0h = Latched flag indicating NO memory error was detected.
  • 1h = Latched flag indicating a memory error was detected.
