3.2 Device Does Not NACK Incorrect Passkey Per PMBus 1.5

  • Description: When a passkey other than the correct passkey or all zeros is entered, the device does not NACK (not acknowledged) and IVD (invalide data) as per the PMBus 1.5 standard.
  • System Impact: Incorrect NACK and IVD behavior.
  • Workaround or Mitigation: Feature planned for final silicon.
  • Disposition: Design fix planned for final silicon.
