Black Box Fault Logging

The first fault in a system failure event may be critical to diagnose the root cause. When UCD91320 detects an initial fault, the device records and saves the status of each rail in a special area (Black Box) of the NVM reserved for this function. The device does not save the subsequent faults and monitoring statuses into the Black Box Fault Log, but instead records them into the standard fault log. The last fault log when the BOR voltage is crossed is also saved to the black box fault log. The Black Box Fault Log must be cleared via a PMBus command before another black box fault log can be collected.
