7.5.11.1 (24h) VOUT_MAX

The VOUT_MAX command sets an upper limit on the output voltage that the unit may be commanded to, regardless of an 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. VOUT_MAX is a VID format command, and must be accessed through Read Word/Write Word transactions. VOUT_MAX is a paged register. In order to access VOUT_MAX for channel A, PAGE must be set to 00h. In order to access the VOUT_COMMAND register for channel B, PAGE must be set to 01h. For simultaneous access of channels A and B, the PAGE command must be set to FFh.

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. Attempts to program the output voltage greater than VOUT_MAX can include VOUT_COMMAND attempts, and margin events while the VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH/VOUT_MARGIN_LOW values exceed the value of VOUT_MAX. The device treats these events as warning conditions and not as fault conditions. If an attempt is made to program the output voltage higher than the limit set by the VOUT_MAX command, the device:

  • clamps the commanded output voltage to VOUT_MAX,
  • sets the OTHER bit in the STATUS_BYTE,
  • sets the VOUT bit in the STATUS_WORD,
  • sets the VOUT_MAX warning bit in the STATUS_VOUT register, and
  • notifies the host (asserts PMB_ALERT, if the corresponding mask bit in SMBALERT_MASK is not set).

It is important for the user to program this register according to the maximum output voltage the device can support.
