The PHASE command provides the ability to configure, control, and monitor individual phases. Each PHASE contains the operating memory and user store and default store for each phase output. The phase selected by the PHASE command is used for all subsequent phase-dependent commands. The phase configuration needs to be established before any phase-dependent command can be successfully executed.
In the TPSM8D6C24, each PHASE is a separate device. The loop and PMBus loop controller device, GOSNS/FLWR connected to ground, is always PHASE = 00h. Loop follower devices, GOSNS/FLWR connected to BP1V5, have their phase assignment defined by their phase position, as defined by INTERLEAVE or MSEL2.

See the following text for more information. |
The range of valid data for PHASE also depends on the phase configuration. Attempts to write (04h) PHASE to a value not supported by the current phase configuration are considered invalid or unsupported data and cause the TPSM8D6C24 to respond by flagging the appropriate status bits and notifying the host according to the PMBus 1.3.1 Part II specification, section 10.9.3.
