PMBus COMMAND DETAILS
IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT
The IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT command sets the value of the peak output current limit, in Amperes. When the control-
ler is in current limit, the overcurrent detector will indicate an overcurrent fault condition. The following table lists the
progammable peak output current limit value in mV between I
+ –
(I – I )/IOUT_CAL_GAIN in Amperes.

BASED ON INDUCTOR CURRENT = 50% OF MAX LOAD OF 50A FOR WORSE CASE, THESE ARE APPROXIMATES, SO USE GUARDBAND AND CHECK

Note: This is the peak of the current waveform. The READ_IOUT command returns the average current. The peak output
current limits are adjusted with temperature based on the MFR_IOUT_CAL_GAIN_TC using the equation:
Peak Current Limit = IOUT_CAL_GAIN • (1 + MFR_IOUT_CAL_GAIN_TC • (READ_TEMPERTURE_1-27.0)).
The LTM4700 automatically convert currents to the appropriate internal bit value.
The I range is set with bit 7 of the MFR_PWM_MODE command.
OUT
The IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT is ignored during TON_RISE and TOFF_FALL.
If the IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT is exceeded, the device:
• Sets the IOUT bit in the STATUS word
• Sets the IOUT Overcurrent fault bit in the STATUS_IOUT
• Notifies the host by asserting ALERT, unless masked
This command has two data bytes and is formatted in Linear_5s_11s format.
