SLUSB56B November 2012 – April 2019 TPS53819A
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS53819A does not support all functions of the STATUS_WORD command. A list of supported functions appears in Table 7. A status bit reflects the current state of the converter. Status bit becomes high when the specified condition has occurred and goes low when the specified condition has disappeared. A flag bit is a latched bit that becomes high when the specified condition has occurred and does not go back low when the specified condition has disappeared. STATUS_BYTE command is a subset of the STATUS_WORD command, or more specifically the lower byte of the STATUS_WORD.
COMMAND | DEFINITION | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
LOW BYTE: STATUS_BYTE [78h] | ||
Low STATUS_WORD<7> | BUSY | not supported and always set to 0 |
Low STATUS_WORD<6> | OFF | 0: raw status indicating device is providing power to output voltage
1: raw status indicating device is not providing power to output voltage |
Low STATUS_WORD<5> | VOUT_OV | 0: latched flag indicating no output voltage overvoltage fault has occurred
1: latched flag indicating an output voltage overvoltage fault has occurred |
Low STATUS_WORD<4> | IOUT_OC | 0: latched flag indicating no output current overcurrent fault has occurred
1: latched flag indicating an output current overcurrent fault has occurred |
Low STATUS_WORD<3> | VIN_UV | 0: latched flag indicating input voltage is above the UVLO turn-on threshold
1: latched flag indicating input voltage is below the UVLO turn-on threshold |
Low STATUS_WORD<2> | TEMP | 0: latched flag indicating no OT fault has occurred
1: latched flag indicating an OT fault has occurred |
Low STATUS_WORD<1> | CML | 0: latched flag indicating no communication, memory or logic fault has occurred
1: latched flag indicating a communication, memory or logic fault has occurred |
Low STATUS_WORD<0> | OTHER | not supported and always set to 0 |

High STATUS_WORD<5> | INPUT | 0: latched flag indicating no input voltage fault or warning has occurred
1: latched flag indicating a input voltage fault or warning has occurred |
High STATUS_WORD<4> | MFR | not supported and always set to 0 |
High STATUS_WORD<3> | PGOOD | 0: raw status indicating PGOOD pin is at logic high
1: raw status indicating PGOOD pin is at logic low |
High STATUS_WORD<2> | FANS | not supported and always set to 0 |
High STATUS_WORD<1> | OTHER | not supported and always set to 0 |
High STATUS_WORD<0> | UNKNOWN | not supported and always set to 0 |
The latched flags of faults can be removed or corrected only until one of the following conditions occurs:
If the fault condition remains present when the bit is cleared, the fault bits are immediately set again, and the ALERT signal is re-asserted.
TPS53819A supports the ALERT pin to notify the host of fault conditions. Therefore, the best practice for monitoring the fault conditions from the host is to treat the ALERT pin as an interrupt source for triggering the corresponding interrupt service routine. It is recommended not to keep polling the STATUS_WORD or STATUS_BYTE registers from the host to reduce the firmware overhead of the host.
