ZHCSGE0B June 2017 – January 2019 TPS53681
PRODUCTION DATA.
The STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command returns one byte containing manufacturer-defined faults or warnings.
The STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command must be accessed through Read Byte/Write Byte transactions. STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC is a paged register. In order to access STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command for channel A, PAGE must be set to 00h. In order to access STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC register for channel B, PAGE must be set to 01h. If PAGE is set FFh, the device return value will reflect the status of Channel A.

---|---|---|---|---|
7 | MFR_FAULT_PS | RW | Current
Status |
Power Stage Fault
0b: Latched flag indicating no fault from TI power stage has occurred. 1b: Latched flag indicating a fault from TI power stage has occurred. |
6 | VSNS_OPEN | RW | Current
Status |
VSNS pin open
0b: Latched flag indicating VSNS pin was not open at power-up. 1b: Latched flag indicating VSNS pin was open at power-up. |
5 | MAX_PH_WARN | RW | Current
Status |
Maximum Phase Warning
If the selected operational phase number is larger than the maximum available phase number specified by the hardware, then MAX_PH_WARN is set, and the operational phase number is changed to the maximum available phase number. 0b: Latched flag indicating no maximum phase warning has occurred. 1b: Latched flag indicating a maximum phase warning has occurred. |
4 | TSNS_LOW | RW | Current
Status |
0b: Latched flag indicating that TSEN < 150 mV before soft-start.
1b: Latched flag indicating that TSEN ≥ 150 mV before soft-start. |
3 | RST_VID (Page 0) | RW | Current
Status |
RST_VID (Page 0 only) 0b: A VID reset operation has NOT occurred 1b: A VID reset operation has occurred |

0 | PHFLT | RW | Current
Status |
Phase current share fault. The PHFLT bit is set if any phase has current imbalance warnings occurring repetitively for 7 detection cycles (~500 µs continuously). Phases with current imbalance warnings may be read back via MFR_SPECIFIC_03. 0b: No repetitive current share fault has occurred1b: Repetitive current share fault has occurred |
Per the description in the PMBus 1.3 specification, part II, TPS53681 does support clearing of status bits by writing to STATUS registers. Writing a 1 to any supported bit in this register will attempt to clear it as a fault condition.
