Analog Devices MAX20796 PMBus Command Set User Guide
This user guide details the PMBus command set for the MAX20796 step-down switching regulator, covering standard and manufacturer-specific commands for control and monitoring.
Overview
This document (UG2170) provides a comprehensive list and description of the Power Management Bus (PMBus) commands implemented in the MAX20796 integrated, two-phase, single-supply, step-down switching regulator. It outlines standard PMBus specification commands and provides detailed documentation for Analog Devices manufacturer-specific commands. Key functional areas covered include output voltage regulation, switching frequency configuration, sequencing (rise/fall times), fault management (overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature), and status reporting. Additionally, the guide describes telemetry commands for real-time monitoring of input/output voltage, current, and temperature, as well as security, device identification, and nonvolatile memory storage operations.
Use Cases
- Configuring output voltage parameters and margining for the MAX20796
- Monitoring real-time power system telemetry such as READ_VOUT and READ_IOUT
- Setting overcurrent and overtemperature fault thresholds and responses
- Managing device identification and nonvolatile memory storage via PMBus
