LTM4700
PMBus COMMAND DETAILS
0xB8–The device shuts down (disables the output) and device attempts to retry continuously, without limitation, until
it is commanded OFF (by the RUN pin or OPERATION command or both), bias power is removed, or another fault
condition causes the unit to shut down.
0x4n The device shuts down and the unit does not attempt to retry. The output remains disabled until the part is com-
manded OFF then ON or the RUN pin is asserted low then high or RESET through the command or removal of VIN.
The OV fault must remain active for a period of n • 10µs, where n is a value from 0 to 7.
0x78+n The device shuts down and the unit attempts to retry continuously until either the fault condition is cleared
or the part is commanded OFF then ON or the RUN pin is asserted low then high or RESET through the command or
removal of VIN. The OV fault must remain active for a period of n • 10µs, where n is a value from 0 to 7.
Any other value will result in a CML fault and the write will be ignored.
This command has one data byte.

BITS DESCRIPTION
7:6 Response
For all values of bits [7:6], the LTM4700:
• Sets the corresponding fault bit in the status commands and
• Notifies the host by asserting ALERT pin, unless masked.
The fault bit, once set, is cleared only when one or more of the
following events occurs:
• The device receives a CLEAR_FAULTS command.
• The output is commanded through the RUN pin, the OPERATION
command, or the combined action of the RUN pin and
OPERATION command, to turn off and then to turn back on, or
• Bias power is removed and reapplied to the LTM4700.
5:3 Retry Setting
2:0 Delay Time
VOUT_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE
The VOUT_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE command instructs the device on what action to take in response to an output
undervoltage fault. The data byte is in the format given in Table 8.
The device also:
• Sets the NONE_OF_THE_ABOVE bit in the STATUS_BYTE
• Sets the VOUT bit in the STATUS_WORD
• Sets the VOUT undervoltage fault bit in the STATUS_VOUT command
• Notifies the host by asserting ALERT pin, unless masked

while V
01 The PMBus device continues operation for the delay time
specified by bits [2:0] and the delay time unit specified for that
particular fault. If the fault condition is still present at the end of
the delay time, the unit responds as programmed in the Retry
Setting (bits [5:3]).
10 The device shuts down immediately (disables the output) and
responds according to the retry setting in bits [5:3].
11 Not supported. Writing this value will generate a CML fault.
000 The unit does not attempt to restart. The output remains
disabled until the fault is cleared until the device is commanded
OFF bias power is removed.
111 The PMBus device attempts to restart continuously, without
limitation, until it is commanded OFF (by the RUN pin or
OPERATION command or both), bias power is removed, or
another fault condition causes the unit to shut down without
retry. Note: The retry interval is set by the MFR_RETRY_DELAY
command.
000-111 The delay time in 10µs increments. This delay time determines
how long the controller continues operating after a fault is
detected. Only valid for deglitched off state.
