MAX16068
6-Channel, Flash-Configurable System Manager
with Nonvolatile Fault Registers
Logged fault information is stored in flash registers 
r200h–r208h (see Table 13). After fault information is 
logged, the flash is locked and must be unlocked to 
enable a new fault log to be stored. Write a ‘0’ to r8Ch[1] 
to unlock the configuration flash. Fault information can 
be configured to store ADC conversion results and/or 
fault flags in registers. Select the critical fault configura-
tion in r6Dh[1:0]. Set r6Dh[1:0] to ‘11’ to turn off the fault 
logger. All stored ADC results are 8 bits wide (MSBs of 
the conversion).
Autoretry/Latch Mode
The MAX16068 can be configured for one of two fault 
management methods: autoretry or latch-on-fault. Set 
r74h[4:3] to ‘00’ to select the latch-on-fault mode. The 
device does not reinitiate monitoring until EN is toggled 
or the software enable bit is toggled. See the Enable 
Input (EN) section for more information on setting the 
software enable bit.
