8.1.9 VOUT_COMMAND (Address = 21h)

VOUT_COMMAND is shown in Figure 8-9 and described in Table 8-12.

Read Transaction: Read Word
Data Format: ULINEAR16 0.976mV per VOUT_MODE LSB
NVM Back-up: No
Updates: On-the-fly When PMBus is used to set the regulated voltage, the commanded output voltage in volts is determined by a combination of VOUT_COMMAND, VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH, VOUT_MARGIN_LOW, and OPERATION commands. As stated in the description of the VOUT_MODE command, the VOUT_MODE step size is 0.976 mV. The range of recommended VOUT_COMMAND values is dependent upon the configured (29h) VOUT_SCALE_LOOP. The design does not limit the VOUT_COMMAND value to be within this recommended range. However, there is a max clamp on VOUT_COMMAND to 5.5V. This max clamp is not affected when doing MARGIN_HIGH. There is no min clamp for low voltages. At power up, the reset value of VOUT_COMMAND is derived from VBOOT/VOUT_SCALE_LOOP . When the rail is disabled by the mechanism programmed to ON_OFF_CONFIG or due to a fault, the value in VOUT_COMMAND is updated to VBOOT.

Note: This register can be changed during soft-start or soft-stop. However, the rail will continue to ramp up/down to the original target (VBOOT) at the rate programmed into TON_RISE/TOFF_FALL. After soft-start completes (and if VOUT_COMMAND is different from the VBOOT value), the device will immediately transition from the VBOOT value to the latest written VOUT_COMMAND at the programmed VOUT_TRANSITION_RATE. During regulation, preemptive writes to VOUT_COMMAND are allowed even if the DAC is still slewing to a previously programmed VOUT_COMMAND. The device will immediately start slewing to the new target at the rate programmed into VOUT_TRANSITION_RATE.
