6A Digital Integrated Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC  
Regulator with Auto Compensation  
ZL2102  
Features  
The ZL2102 is an integrated digital power regulator with auto  
compensation and power management functions in a small  
package, resulting in a flexible and integrated solution, which  
can be configured using the PowerNavigator™ graphical user  
interface. This synchronous buck converter operates from a  
4.5V to 14V input supply and provides from 0.54V to 5.5V  
output voltage at up to 6A.  
• Integrated MOSFET switches  
• 6A continuous output current  
• Adjustable 0.54V to 5.5V output range  
• 4.5V to 14V input range  
• Up to 90% efficiency  
• Auto compensation for fast transient response  
• SMBus compliant serial interface  
• Snapshot™ parametric capture  
• Internal nonvolatile memory  
• Small footprint QFN package (6mmx6mm)  
The ZL2102 can be configured for most applications using only  
hardware pin straps to adjust switching frequency, output  
voltage, UVLO, soft-start ramp/delay settings, sequencing  
options, and SMBus address. For more advanced  
configurations, the ZL2102 supports over 70 PMBus  
commands. Output voltage/current is factory calibrated.  
Internal synchronous power MOSFETs enable the ZL2102 to  
deliver continuous loads up to 6A with high efficiency. An  
internal Schottky bootstrap diode reduces discrete component  
count. The ZL2102 also supports phase spreading to reduce  
system input capacitance.  
Applications  
• Servers/storage equipment  
• Telecom/datacom equipment  
• Power supplies (memory, DSP, ASIC, FPGA)  
The ZL2102 uses the SMBus™ with PMBus™ protocol for  
communication with a host controller and the Intersil's  
proprietary Digital-DC™ bus for interoperability between other  
Intersil devices.

Once enabled, the ZL2102 is immediately ready to regulate  
power and perform power management tasks with no  
programming required. Advanced configuration options and  
realtime configuration changes are available via the SMBus  
interface if desired and continuous monitoring of multiple  
operating parameters is possible with minimal interaction from a  
host controller. Integrated sub regulation circuitry enables single  
supply operation from any external supply between 4.5V and 14V  
with no additional bias supplies needed.  
Digital-DC Architecture Overview  
The ZL2102 is an innovative mixed-signal power conversion and  
power management IC based on Intersil patented Digital-DC  
technology that provides an integrated, high performance  
stepdown regulator for point of load applications. The ZL2102  
integrates all necessary PWM control circuitry as well as low  
r
synchronous power MOSFETs to provide an extremely  
DS(ON)  
small solution for supplying load currents up to 6A.  
Its unique PWM loop utilizes an ideal mix of analog and digital  
blocks to enable precise control of the entire power conversion  
process with no software required, resulting in a very flexible  
device that is also very easy to use. An extensive set of power  
management functions are fully integrated and can be  
configured using simple pin connections. The user configuration  
can be saved in an internal nonvolatile memory (NVM).  
Additionally, all functions can be configured and monitored via  
the SMBus hardware interface using standard PMBus  
commands, allowing ultimate flexibility.  
The ZL2102 can be configured by simply connecting its pins  
according to the tables provided in the following sections.  
Additionally, a comprehensive set of application notes are  
available to help simplify the design process. An evaluation  
board is also available to help the user become familiar with the  
device. This board can be evaluated as a standalone platform  
using pin configuration settings. A Windows™-based GUI is also  
provided to enable full configuration and monitoring capability  
via the SMBus interface using a computer and the included USB  
cable.

ZL2102  
The maximum conversion ratio is shown in Figure 7. Typically,  
Power Conversion Overview  
buck converters specify a maximum duty cycle that effectively  
limits the maximum output voltage that can be realized for a  
given input voltage and switching frequency. This duty cycle limit  
ensures that the low-side MOSFET is allowed to turn on for a  
minimum amount of time during each switching cycle, which  
enables the bootstrap capacitor to be charged up and provide  
adequate gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET.  
The ZL2102 operates as a voltage-mode, synchronous buck  
converter with a selectable constant frequency pulse width  
modulator (PWM) control scheme. The ZL2102 integrates dual  
low r  
synchronous MOSFETs and a high-side driver to  
DS(ON)  
minimize the circuit footprint. Figure 8 illustrates the basic  
synchronous buck converter topology showing the primary power  
train components. This converter is also called a step-down  
converter, as the output voltage must always be lower than the  
input voltage.  
The block diagram for the ZL2102 is illustrated in Figure 2. In  
this circuit, the target output voltage is regulated by connecting  
the VSEN pin directly to the output regulation point. The VSEN  
signal is then compared to an internal reference voltage that had  
been set to the desired output voltage level by the user. The error  
signal derived from this comparison is converted to a digital  
value with an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The digital signal  
is also applied to an adjustable digital compensation filter and  
the compensated signal is used to derive the appropriate PWM  
duty cycle for driving the internal MOSFETs in a way that  
produces the desired output.

Power Management Overview  
The ZL2102 incorporates a wide range of configurable power  
management features that are simple to implement with no  
external components. Additionally, the ZL2102 includes circuit  
protection features that continuously safeguard the device and  
load from damage due to unexpected system faults. The ZL2102  
can continuously monitor input voltage, output voltage/current,  
and internal temperature. A power-good output signal is also  
included to enable power-on reset functionality for an external  
processor.  
FIGURE 8. STEP DOWN CONVERTER  
The ZL2102 integrates two N-channel power MOSFETs; QH is the  
top control MOSFET and QL is the bottom synchronous MOSFET.  
The amount of time that QH is on as a fraction of the total  
switching period is known as duty cycle D, which is described by  
Equation 1:

All power management functions can be configured using either  
pin configuration techniques described in this document or via  
the SMBus interface using PMBus commands. Monitoring  
parameters can also be preconfigured to provide alerts for  
specific conditions. “PMBus Command Summary” on page 19

ZL2102 and a detailed description of the use of each of these

SMBus: Most ZL2102 functions/parameters can be configured  
via the SMBus interface using standard PMBus commands.  
“PMBus Command Summary” on page 19 explains the use of  
the available PMBus commands in detail.  
MULTIMODE PINS  
In order to simplify circuit design, the ZL2102 incorporates  
patented multimode pins that allow the user to easily configure  
many aspects of the device with no programming. Most power  
management features can be configured using these pins. The  
multimode pins can respond to four different connections as  
shown in Table 1. These pins are sampled once when power is  
applied or by issuing a PMBus Restore command.  
CONFIGURABLE PINS  
Many operating parameters can be set using the multimode pin  
setup method: SMBus address (SA), output voltage (VSET), clock  
synchronization and sequencing options (CFG), switching  
frequency (SYNC), soft-start delay, soft-start ramp, input  
undervoltage lock-out (SS), and automatic loop compensation  
settings (FC). These pins are checked once during start-up only.  
Changes to the settings of these pins will not be read until the  
device's power supply has been cycled off and on.  
Pin Strap Settings: This is the simplest implementation method,  
as no external components are required. Using this method, each  
pin can take on one of three possible states: LOW, OPEN, or  
HIGH. These pins can be connected to the V25 pin for logic HIGH  
settings. Using a single pin, one of three settings can be selected.  
The device's SMBus address is the only parameter that must be  
set by the multimode pins. All others are configurable using  
PMBus commands.  
Resistor Settings: This method allows a greater range of  
adjustability when connecting a finite value resistor (in a  
specified range) between the multimode pin and SGND.  
Standard 1% resistor values are used, and only every fourth E96  
resistor value is used so the device can reliably recognize the  
value of resistance connected to the pin while eliminating the  
error associated with the resistor accuracy. Up to 31 unique  
selections are available using a single resistor.  
SMBus Device Address Selection (SA)  
The ZL2102 provides an SMBus digital interface that enables the  
user to configure all aspects of the device operation as well as  
monitor the input and output parameters. The ZL2102 is  
compatible with SMBus version 2.0 and includes an SALRT line  
to help mitigate bandwidth limitations related to continuous fault  
monitoring.  
TABLE 1. MULTIMODE PIN CONFIGURATION  
When communicating with multiple devices using the SMBus  
interface, each device must have its own unique address so the  
host can distinguish between the devices. The device address  
can be set according to the pin strap options listed in Table 2. The  
SMBus address cannot be changed with a PMBus command.

Synchronization and Sequencing

The ZL2102 supports several options of clock synchronization

be set using the CFG pin strap options shown in Table 5. The  
operation of these functions is covered in their respective  
sections of this document.  
Note: The switching frequency read back using the appropriate  
PMBus command may differ slightly from the programmed  
value. The difference is due to hardware quantization.

incorporates an internal phase-locked loop (PLL) to clock the

functions. These features may be used as part of an overall  
in-rush current management strategy or to precisely control how  
fast a load is turned on. The ZL2102 provides several options for  
precisely and independently controlling both the delay and ramp  
time periods.

process is also followed for ramp down after the EN pin has been

These functions can also be set independently using TON_DELAY,  
TON_RISE, TOFF_DELAY, and TOFF_FALL PMBus commands. The  
UVLO threshold can be adjusted using the VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT  
PMBus command. The ramp down function is disabled by  
default, but it can be enabled using the ON_OFF_CONFIG or  
OPERATION PMBus commands depending on the desired device  
enable method.  
The input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the ZL2102 from  
operating when the input falls below a preset threshold,  
indicating the input supply is out of its specified range.  
The ZL2102's TON/TOFF delay time, TON/TOFF ramp time, and  
UVLO functions can be configured using the SS pin strap options

The input undervoltage lockout feature (UVLO) prevents the

Device Ready  
The default response from a UVLO fault is an immediate  
shutdown of the device during the fault and an automatic restart  
when the fault condition has cleared. The UVLO fault response  
can be configured using the VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE PMBus  
command.  
FIGURE 12. START-UP SEQUENCE  
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source, the  
clock frequency must be stable prior to asserting the EN pin. The  
device requires approximately 35ms to check for specific values  
stored in its internal memory. If the user has stored values in  
memory, those values will be loaded. If Auto Comp is enabled,  
start-up time increases to ~55ms.  
Output Overvoltage Protection  
The ZL2102 offers an internal output overvoltage protection  
circuit that can be used to protect sensitive load circuitry from  
being subjected to a voltage higher than its prescribed limits. A  
hardware comparator is used to compare the actual output  
voltage (seen at the VSEN pin) to a threshold set above the target  
output voltage. The default setting is 115% of the pin strap  
setting for VOUT, but this value can be adjusted using the  
VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT PMBus command. If the VSEN voltage  
exceeds this threshold, the PG pin will deassert and the device  
response can be set using the VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE  
PMBus command. The default response is an immediate  
shutdown of the device during the fault and an automatic restart  
when the fault has cleared. For continuous overvoltage  
protection when operating from an external clock, the only  
allowed response is an immediate shutdown with no automatic  
restart.  
Once this process is completed, the device is ready to accept  
commands via the serial interface and the device is ready to be  
enabled. Once enabled, the device requires approximately 5ms  
before its output voltage may be allowed to start its ramp-up  
process. If a soft-start delay period less than 5ms has been  
configured (using PMBus commands), the device will default to a  
5ms delay period. If a delay period greater than 5ms is  
configured, the device will wait for the configured delay period  
prior to starting to ramp its output.  
After the delay period has expired, the output will begin to ramp  
towards its target voltage according to the preconfigured  
soft-start ramp time.  
Output Prebias Protection  
An output prebias condition exists when an externally applied  
voltage is present on a power supply's output before the power  
supply's control IC is enabled. Certain applications require that  
the converter not be allowed to sink current during start-up if a  
prebias condition exists at the output. The ZL2102 provides  
prebias protection by sampling the output voltage prior to  
initiating an output ramp.  
Power-Good  
The ZL2102 provides a Power-Good (PG) signal that indicates the  
output voltage is within a specified tolerance of its target level  
and no fault condition exists. By default, the PG pin will assert if  
the output reaches 90% of the target voltage. The limit and drive  
configuration of the pin may be changed using the  
POWER_GOOD_ON and MFR_CONFIG PMBus commands.  
If a prebias voltage exists after the preconfigured delay period  
has expired, the ramp start voltage will be set to match the  
existing prebias voltage and the output will be enabled. The  
output voltage will then ramp to the final regulation value at the  
ramp rate set by the SS pin strap setting or the TON_RISE PMBus  
command.  
A PG delay period is defined as the time from when all conditions  
for asserting PG are met to when the PG pin is actually asserted.  
This feature is commonly used instead of using an external reset  
controller to control external digital logic. By default, the ZL2102  
PG delay is set equal to 1ms. The PG delay can be adjusted using  
the POWER_GOOD_DELAY PMBus command.  
The actual time the output will take to ramp up from the prebias  
voltage to the target voltage will vary depending on the prebias  
voltage, but the total time from enable to when the output  
reaches its target value will match the preconfigured delay and  
ramp times. When ramping down from a prebias higher than the  
target voltage, the device will wait until after SS ramp time is  
complete and will then ramp down to the target voltage at an  
approximate rate of 0.1V/ms (see Figure 13).

If the prebias voltage is higher than the output overvoltage limit  
set in VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT, the device will declare an  
overvoltage fault condition and it will respond based on the  
output overvoltage response method that has been selected in  
the VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE PMBus command.  
Digital-DC Bus  
The Digital-DC Communications (DDC) bus is used to  
communicate between Intersil Digital-DC devices. This dedicated  
bus provides the communication channel between devices for  
features such as sequencing and fault spreading. The DDC pin on  
all Digital-DC devices in an application should be connected  
together. A pull-up resistor is required on the DDC bus in order to

mechanism is used to protect the power supply from damage  
and prevent excessive current from being drawn from the input  
supply in the event that the output is overloaded or shorted to  
ground. Current limiting is accomplished by sensing the current  
through the circuit during a portion of the duty cycle. The current  
limit threshold is set to 7.2A by default, but it can be adjusted  
using the IOUT_AVG_OC_FAULT_LIMIT PMBus command. The

bus loading. The pull-up resistor may be tied to VR or to an  
external 3.3V or 5V supply as long as this voltage is present prior  
to or during device power-up. As a rule of thumb, each device  
connected to the DDC bus presents approximately 10pF of  
capacitive loading, and each inch of FR4 PCB trace introduces  
approximately 2pF. The ideal design will use a central pull-up  
resistor that is well-matched to the total load capacitance. In  
power module applications, the user should consider whether to  
place the pull-up resistor on the module or on the PCB of the end  
application. The minimum pull-up resistance should be limited to  
a value that enables any device to assert the bus to a voltage that  
will ensure a logic 0 (typically 0.8V at the device monitoring  
point) given the pull-up voltage (5V if tied to VR5) and the  
pull-down current capability of the ZL2102 (nominally 4mA).  
Thermal Overload Protection  
The ZL2102 includes an on-chip thermal sensor that  
continuously measures the internal temperature of the die and  
shuts down the device when the temperature exceeds the preset  
limit. The default temperature limit is set to +125°C in the  
factory, but it can be adjusted using the OT_FAULT_LIMIT PMBus  
command. The default response to an over-temperature fault is  
Phase Spreading

over the DDC bus to the other devices in the group. When a fault  
occurs and the device is configured to shut down on a fault, the

bus. The other devices on the DDC bus can be configured to  
respond to the broadcast in several ways including group  
shutdown/restart. Fault spreading mode can be enabled through

are  
RMS  
In order to enable phase spreading, all converters must be  
synchronized to the same switching clock. This can be  
accomplished by setting the CFG pin strap or by using the  
INTERLEAVE PMBus command.  
Selecting the phase offset for the device is accomplished by  
selecting a device address according to Equation 3:  
Monitoring via SMBus  
A system controller can monitor a wide variety of different  
ZL2102 parameters through the SMBus interface. The device can  
monitor for fault conditions by monitoring the SALRT pin, which  
will be asserted when any number of preconfigured fault  
conditions occur.  
(EQ. 3)  
Phase offset = device address 45  
For example:  
• A device address of 0x20 would configure no phase offset  
• A device address of 0x21 would configure 45° of phase offset  
• A device address of 0x22 would configure 90° of phase offset  
The device can also be monitored continuously for many power  
conversion parameters including input voltage, output voltage,  
output current, internal junction temperature, switching  
frequency, duty cycle, fault status information.  
The phase offset of each device may also be set to any value  
between 0° and 360° in 22.5° increments via the INTERLEAVE  
PMBus command.  
The PMBus Host should respond to SALRT as follows:  
• ZL device pulls SALRT Low.  
Output Sequencing  
• PMBus Host detects that SALRT is now low, performs  
transmission with Alert Response Address to find which ZL  
device is pulling SALRT low.  
Intersil devices may be configured to power-up as a group in a  
predetermined sequence. This feature is especially useful when  
powering advanced processors, FPGA’s and ASIC’s that require  
one supply to reach its operating voltage prior to another supply  
reaching its operating voltage in order to avoid latch-up from  
occurring. Multidevice sequencing can be achieved by  
configuring each device through the SEQUENCE PMBus  
command or by using Intersil patented autonomous sequencing  
mode.  
• PMBus Host talks to the ZL device that has pulled SALRT low.  
The actions that the host performs are up to the System  
Designer.  
If multiple devices are faulting, SALRT will still be low after doing  
the above steps and will require transmission with the Alert  
Response Address repeatedly until all faults are cleared.  
Autonomous sequencing mode configures sequencing by using  
events transmitted between devices over the DDC bus. The  
sequencing order is determined using each device's SMBus  
address. Using autonomous sequencing mode (configured using  
the CFG pin), the devices must be assigned sequential SMBus  
addresses with no missing addresses in the chain, the enable  
pins must be tied together, and the sync pins of all devices must  
be tied together. The first device in the sequence will become the  
clock master, and the other devices will sync to this clock. This  
mode will also constrain each device to have a phase offset  
according to its SMBus address as described in the “Phase  
Spreading” on page 15.  
Nonvolatile Memory  
The ZL2102 has internal nonvolatile memory where user settings  
are stored. There are two storage locations; the factory store and  
the user store. During the initialization process, the ZL2102  
checks for any stored values in the user store. If user  
programmed settings are found, they will be used for those  
parameters. If there are no user settings stored, the factory  
settings and pin strap values are used for those parameters.  
Snapshot™ Parametric Capture  
The ZL2102 offers a special feature that enables the user to  
capture parametric data during normal operation or following a  
fault. The Snapshot function can be enabled through the  
MISC_CONFIG PMBus command, and the data can be read back  
as a block read transfer using the SNAPSHOT PMBus command.  
The enable (EN) line is driven high to initiate a sequenced turn-on  
of the group. Enable is driven low to initiate a sequenced turnoff  
of the group. During enable, the sequencing group will enable in  
order starting with the device with the lowest SMBus address and  
will continue through to turn on each device in the address chain  
until all devices connected have been turned on. During disable,  
the device with the highest SMBus address will turn off first  
followed in reverse order by the other devices in the group. The  
PG threshold is used to determine when the following device is  
enabled.  
The SNAPSHOT_CONTROL PMBus command enables the user to  
store the snapshot parameters to NV memory in response to a  
fault as well as to read the stored data from NV memory after a  
fault has occurred.  
Automatic writes to NV memory following a fault are triggered  
when any fault threshold level is exceeded, provided that the

Inductor Selection  
The output inductor selection process must include several  
trade-offs. A high inductance value will result in a low ripple

transient load performance. Therefore, a balance must be struck  
between output ripple and optimal load transient performance. A  
good starting point is to select the output inductor ripple equal to

The ZL2102 is a synchronous buck converter with MOSFETs that

Design Goal Trade-offs  
The design of the buck power stage requires several  
compromises among size, efficiency, and cost. The inductor core  
loss increases with frequency, so there is a trade-off between a  
small output filter made possible by a higher switching frequency  
and getting better power supply efficiency. Size can be decreased  
by increasing the switching frequency at the expense of  
efficiency. Cost can be minimized by using through-hole  
inductors and capacitors; however these components are  
physically large.

core loss of the selected inductor. Since this calculation is  
specific to each inductor and manufacturer, refer to the chosen  
inductor datasheet. Add the core loss and the ESR loss and  
compare the total loss to the maximum power dissipation

To start the design, select a switching frequency based on  
Table 9. This frequency is a starting point and may be adjusted as  
the design progresses.

ceramic with a low ESR (less than 10mΩ) and should have a  
rating of 4V or more.  
For high ripple currents, a low capacitance value can cause a  
significant amount of output voltage ripple. Likewise, in high  
transient load steps, a relatively large amount of capacitance is  
needed to minimize the output voltage deviation while the  
inductor current ramps up or down to the new steady state  
output current value.  
CVR SELECTION  
This capacitor is used to both stabilize and provide noise filtering  
for the 7V reference supply. It should be 4.7µF, should use a  
semi-stable X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic capacitor with a low  
ESR (less than 10mΩ) and should have a rating of 10V or more.  
CVRA SELECTION  
As a starting point, apportion one-half of the output ripple  
voltage to the capacitor ESR and the other half to capacitance, as  
shown in the following equations:  
This capacitor is used to both stabilize and provide noise filtering  
for the analog 5V reference supply. It should be 4.7µF, should use

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

In typical applications, the ZL2102's high efficiency will limit the  
internal power dissipation inside the package. However, in  
applications that require a high ambient operating temperature  
the user must perform some thermal analysis to ensure that the  
ZL2102's maximum junction temperature is not exceeded.

Use these values to make an initial capacitor selection, using a  
single capacitor or several capacitors in parallel.  
After a capacitor has been selected, the resulting output voltage  
ripple can be calculated using Equation 10:  
The ZL2102 has a maximum junction temperature limit of  
+125°C, and the internal over-temperature limiting circuitry will  
force the device to shut down if its junction temperature exceeds  
this threshold. In order to calculate the maximum junction  
temperature, the user must first calculate the power dissipated  
inside the IC (PQ) as expressed in Equation 12:

Input Capacitor  
It is highly recommended that dedicated input capacitors be  
used in any point of load design, even when the supply is  
powered from a heavily filtered 5V or 12V "bulk" supply from an  
off-line power supply. This is because of the high RMS ripple  
current that is drawn by the buck converter topology. This ripple

PCB Layout Recommendation  
Without capacitive filtering near the power supply circuit, this  
current would flow through the supply bus and return planes,  
coupling noise into other system circuitry. The input capacitors  
should be rated at 1.2x the ripple current calculated above to  
avoid overheating of the capacitors due to the high ripple current,  
which can cause premature failure. Ceramic capacitors with X7R  
or X5R dielectric with low ESR and 1.1x the maximum expected  
input voltage are recommended.  
The PCB layout is a very important step to make sure the  
designed converter works well. For ZL2102, the power system is  
composed of the input capacitor, VDDP pins, output inductor,  
SWITCH pins, output capacitor, and the PGND pins. It is  
necessary to group these connections as closely as possible and  
the connecting traces among them should be direct, short and  
wide. The switching node of the ZL2102 should connect directly  
to the inductor with minimal distance. The ZL2102 PGND pins,  
input and output capacitors should be connected as closely as  
possible to each other on the power GND plane. The input  
capacitor should be tightly coupled to the VIN pin. The VSEN  
voltage feedback trace should be routed to avoid the switch  
node, and should be connected directly to the pad of the output  
capacitor. The thermal pad is connected to SGND, and PGND  
must be isolated from SGND aside from a single connection  
point at the SGND pin.  
BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR SELECTION  
The high-side driver boost circuit utilizes an internal Schottky  
diode (DB) and an external bootstrap capacitor (CB) to supply  
sufficient gate drive for the high-side MOSFET driver. CB should  
be a 0.1µF ceramic type rated for at least 10V.  
CV2P5 SELECTION  
This capacitor is used to both stabilize and provide noise filtering  
for the 2.5V internal power supply. It should be between 4.7µF  
and 10µF, should use a semi-stable X5R or X7R dielectric  
The heat of the IC is mainly dissipated through the thermal pad.  
It is recommended to pass the heat from the thermal pad  
through the PCB using a large number of thermal vias. Connect

as much copper as possible to these thermal vias throughout the  
PCB layers to help dissipate the heat, but do not route this SGND  
connection underneath any of the power components. The  
bottom layer is the best conductor of heat, so it should have at  
least 25mm of copper connected to these vias. Any traces that  
must be routed in this copper area should be radial in nature so  
that the thermal path from the thermal vias outward is not  
interrupted.

VOUT_MAX (24h)  
Definition: The VOUT_ MAX command sets an upper limit on the output voltage the unit can command regardless of any other  
commands or combinations. The intent of this command is to provide a safeguard against a user accidentally setting the output  
voltage to a possibly destructive level rather than to be the primary output overprotection. If a VOUT_COMMAND is sent with a value  
higher than VOUT_MAX, the device will set the output voltage to VOUT_MAX. The initial value of VOUT_MAX is 110% of the pin strap  
value of VOUT.

SEQUENCE (E0h)  
Definition: Identifies the Rail DDC ID of the prequel and sequel rails when performing multi-rail sequencing. The device will enable its  
output when its EN or OPERATION enable state, as defined by ON_OFF_CONFIG, is set and the prequel device has issued a Power-Good  
event on the DDC bus. The device will disable its output (using the programmed delay values) when the sequel device has issued a  
Power-Down event on the DDC bus.  
The data field is a two-byte value. The most-significant byte contains the 5-bit Rail DDC ID of the prequel device. The least-significant  
byte contains the 5-bit Rail DDC ID of the sequel device. The most significant bit of each byte contains the enable of the prequel or  
sequel mode. This command overrides the corresponding sequence configuration set by the CONFIG pin settings.

DDC_GROUP (E2h)  
Definition: Sets which rail DDC IDs are monitored for fault spreading information. The data sent is a 4-byte, 32-bit, bit vector where  
every bit represents a rail's DDC ID. Setting a bit to 1 will include that rail's DDC ID in the group. All DDC ID's that are selected will be  
monitored. If fault spread mode is enabled in USER_CONFIG (Bit 8 set to 1), the rail will respond to any fault spreading events within the  
group. The device will immediately shut down if one of its DDC_GROUP members fails. The device/rail will attempt its configured  
restart only after all devices/rails within the DDC_GROUP have cleared their faults.  
Note: The device/rail's own DDC ID should not be set within the DDC_GROUP command for that device/rail.  
All devices in a current share rail must shutdown for the rail to report a shutdown.  
If fault spread mode is disabled in USER_CONFIG (Bit 8 cleared to 0), the device will perform a sequenced shutdown as defined by the  
SEQUENCE command setting. The rails/devices in a sequencing set only attempt their configured restart after all faults have cleared  
within the DDC_GROUP.

IOUT_AVG_OC_FAULT_LIMIT (E7h)  
Definition: Sets the IOUT average overcurrent fault threshold. For down-slope sensing, this corresponds to the average of all the current  
samples taken during the (1-D) time interval, excluding the Current Sense Blanking time (which occurs at the beginning of the 1-D  
interval). For up-slope sensing, this corresponds to the average of all the current samples taken during the D time interval, excluding the  
Current Sense Blanking time (which occurs at the beginning of the D interval). This feature shares the OC fault bit operation (in  
STATUS_IOUT) and OC fault response with IOUT_ OC_FAULT_LIMIT.

SNAPSHOT (EAh)  
Definition: The SNAPSHOT command is a 32-byte read-back of parametric and status values. It allows monitoring and status data to be  
stored to NV memory either during a fault condition or via a system-defined time using the SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command.  
1. To use the snapshot feature, it must first be enabled by setting bit 1 (Snapshot) in MISC_CONFIG to 1 (Enabled).  
2. By default, snapshot is continuously updated in RAM and can be read using the SNAPSHOT command.  
3. When a fault occurs, the latest snapshot in RAM is stored to NV memory. After this, one can read back the snapshot stored in NV  
memory by writing a 01h to the SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command, then reading SNAPSHOT. This step must be performed while the  
device's operation is disabled, or when snapshot is temporarily disabled (via MISC_CONFIG).

BLANK_PARAMS (EBh)  
Definition: Returns a 16-byte string that indicates which parameter values were either retrieved by the last RESTORE operation or have  
been written since that time. Reading BLANK_PARAMS immediately after a restore operation allows the user to determine which  
parameters are stored in that store. A one indicates the parameter is not present in the store and has not been written since the  
RESTORE operation. This command is used internally to determine if pin strap values should be used. Contact the factory for the
