ensure that only the final state of the power supply is
captured.

Successive read backs:

Successive read backs to the power

supply should not be attempted at intervals faster than
every one second. This time interval is sufficient for the
internal processors to update their data base so that

successive reads provide fresh data.

Device ID:

Address bits A2, A1, A0 set the specific address of

the power supply. The least significant bit x (LSB) of the

address byte configures write [0] or read [1] events. In a

write command the system instructs the power supply. In a
read command information is being accessed from the
power supply.

The Global Broadcast instruction executes a simultaneous

cannot be accessed globally. The three programmable
address bits are the same for all I

Standard instruction:

Up to two bytes of data may follow

an instruction depending on the required data content.
Analog data is always transmitted as LSB followed by MSB.
PEC is mandatory and includes the address and data fields.

Direct mode data format:

The Direct Mode data format is

supported, where y = [ mX + b ] x 10

R

. In the equation, y is

the data value from the controller and x is the ‘real’ value
either being set or returned.

For example, to set the output voltage to 50.45V

DC

, Multiply

the desired set point by the m constant, 50.45 x 400 =
20,180. Convert this binary number to its hex equivalent:
20,180b = 0x4ED4. The result is sent LSB=0xD4 first, then
MSB=0x4E.

Command Descriptions

Operation (01h) :

By default the Power supply is turned ON

at power up as long as ENABLE is active LO. The Operation
command is used to turn the Power Supply ON or OFF via
the PMBus. The data byte below follows the OPERATION
command.

FUNCTION

DATA BYTE

Unit ON

0x80

Unit OFF

0x00


To RESET the power supply cycle the power supply OFF, wait
at least 2 seconds, and then turn back ON. All alarms and
shutdowns are cleared during a restart.

Clear_faults (03h):

This command clears information bits in

the STATUS registers, these include:

Isolation OK

Isolation test failed

Restarted OK

Invalid command

Invalid data

PEC error

Vout_Command (21h) :

This command is used to change

the output voltage of the power supply. Changing the output
voltage should be performed simultaneously to all power

supplies operating in parallel using the Global Address
(Broadcast) feature. If only a single power supply is
instructed to change its output, it may attempt to source all

the required power which can cause either a power limit or
shutdown condition.
