(DFh) MFR_SPECIFIC_15

The MFR_SPECIFIC_15 command is used to configure dynamic phase shedding. The MFR_SPECIFIC_15 command must be accessed through Write Word/Read Word transactions.

MFR_SPECIFIC_15 is a paged register. In order to access MFR_SPECIFIC_15 command for channel A, PAGE must be set to 00h. In order to access the MFR_SPECIFIC_15 register for channel B, PAGE must be set to 01h.

BitFieldTypeResetDescription
15DPS_DCMRWNVM

Enable DCM mode during 1 phase operation, when higher order phases are dropped due to dynamic phase shedding.

0b: Disable DCM operation during 1 phase operation

1b: Enable DCM operation during 1 phase operation

14:13DPS_2TO1_FINE_DROPRWNVM

Dynamic phase drop threshold, fine adjustment, 2 phases to 1phase. Set as an offset from peak efficiency point per phase in Amperes. Phases drop when average phase current reaches the stated threshold. IEFF(PEAK) refers to the value selected by DPS_COURSE_TH below.

00b: Threshold = 1× IEFF(PEAK) – 2 A

01b: Threshold = 1 × IEFF(PEAK)

10b: Threshold = 1 × IEFF(PEAK) + 2 A

6:5DPS_2TO3_FINE_ADDRWNVM

Dynamic phase add threshold, fine adjustment, 2 phases to 3 phases. Set as an offset from peak efficiency point per phase in Amperes. Phases add when peak phase current reaches the stated threshold. IEFF(PEAK) refers to the value selected by DPS_COURSE_TH below

00b: Threshold = 2 × IEFF(PEAK) + 6A

01b: Threshold = 2 × IEFF(PEAK) + 8 A

11b: Threshold = 2 × IEFF(PEAK) + 12 A

5:4DPS_1TO2_FINE_ADDRWNVM

Dynamic phase add threshold, fine adjustment, 1 phase to 2 phases. Set as an offset from peak efficiency point per phase in Amperes. Phases add when peak phase current reaches the stated threshold. IEFF(PEAK) refers to the value selected by DPS_COURSE_TH below

Enable phase dropping from 2 phases to 1 phase operation.

0b: Disable phase shedding to 1 phase

1b: Enable phase shedding to 1 phase

2:0DPS_COURSE_THRWNVM

Sets the peak efficiency point per phase. This is used to determine phase add/drop thresholds.

00b: IEFF(PEAK) = 12 A
