Overview

This user guide (UG2176) describes the Power Management Bus (PMBus) command set implemented in the MAX20830 and MAX20830T integrated step-down switching regulators. Based on PMBus Revision 1.3 specifications, the document provides detailed descriptions of standard commands and manufacturer-specific commands for Analog Devices. It covers communication protocols including read/write byte, word, and block operations. The guide outlines commands for output voltage configuration, switching frequency, telemetry (voltage, current, and temperature), status monitoring, and device identification.

Use Cases

  • Configuring output voltage and switching frequency in point-of-load regulators
  • Monitoring real-time telemetry such as input voltage and output current
  • Managing fault status and device security settings
  • Implementing digital power control using PMBus Revision 1.3 protocol
