The VOUT_MIN command sets a lower 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 level which will render the load inoperable.

15:12 VOUT_MIN R 0000b Not used and always set to 0.
11:0VOUT_ MINRWNVMMinimum output voltage. LINEAR16 absolute per the setting of VOUT_ MODE.

During power conversion, any output voltage change (including VOUT_COMMAND, VOUT_TRIM, margin operations) that causes the new target voltage to be less than the current value of VOUT_MIN will cause the VOUT_MAX_MIN_WARNING fault condition. These results cause the device to:

  • Set to the output voltage to current value of VOUT_MIN at the slew rate defined by VOUT_TRANSITION_RATE.
  • Set the NONE OF THE ABOVE in the STATUS_BYTE.
  • Set the VOUT bit in the STATUS_WORD.
  • Set the VOUT_MIN_MAX warning bit in STATUS_VOUT.
  • Notify the host per PMBus 1.3.1 Part II specification, section 10.2.

Although the scenario is uncommon, note that the same response results if the user attempted to program VOUT_MIN greater than the current output voltage target.

Data Validity

The minimum and maximum valid data values for VOUT_MIN follow those of VOUT_MAX. Attempts to write VOUT_MIN to any value outside those specified as valid will be considered invalid/unsupported data and cause the device to respond by flagging the appropriate status bits and notifying the host according to the PMBus 1.3.1 Part II specification section 10.9.3.
