WRITE_PROTECT (Address = 10h)

WRITE_PROTECT is shown in Figure 7-5 and described in Table 7-6.

Return to the Summary Table.

Write Transaction: Write Byte
Read Transaction: Read Byte
Data Format: unsigned binary (1 byte)
NVM Back-up: EEPROM
Updates: On-the-fly The WRITE_PROTECT command is used to control writing to the PMBus device. The intent of this command is to provide protection against accidental changes. This command is not intended to provide protection against deliberate or malicious changes to a device's configuration or operation. Supported commands may have their parameters read regardless of the WRITE_PROTECT settings, with one exception. Commands using a Process Call or Block Write-Block Read Process call to read their parameters cannot have their parameters read. The write portion of these transactions is blocked preventing their parameters from being read. Data Validity: Attempts to write values not specified or attempts to enable write protection through both PROTECTION and PROTECTION_MFR at the same time are considered as invalid data or unsupported data (ivd) and the device responds as described in the IVD bit in STATUS_CML. The only valid values are 0x00, 0x02, 0x03, 0x20, 0x40 and 0x80.
