PMBus COMMAND DETAILS
The UV fault and warn are masked until the following criteria are achieved:
1) The TON_MAX_FAULT_LIMIT has been reached
2) The TON_DELAY sequence has completed
3) The TON_RISE sequence has completed
4) The VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT threshold has been reached
5) The IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT is not present
The UV fault and warn are masked whenever the channel is not active.
The UV fault and warn are masked during TON_RISE and TOFF_FALL sequencing.
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
• The device receives a RESTORE_USER_ALL command.
• The device receives a MFR_RESET command.
• The device supply power is cycled.
5:3 Retry Setting
2:0 Delay Time
VALUE MEANING
00 The PMBus device continues operation without interruption.
(Ignores the fault functionally)
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 (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.
