READ_TEMPERATURE_1

Reference:

Standard Command

Lockable:

Description/Notes: See Section 18.6 of the PMBus Specification Part II.

The MAX15303 uses READ_TEMPERATURE_1 to report its internal (i.e., die) temperature.

READ_TEMPERATURE_2

Reference:

Standard Command

Lockable:

N/A

Command Code:

0x8E

Format:

Linear

Data Bytes:

Factory Value:

N/A

Description/Notes: See Section 18.6 of the PMBus Specification Part II.

The MAX15303 uses READ_TEMPERATURE_2 to report external temperature as measured by an
external diode junction, typically placed near the power inductor to facilitate

READ_IOUT

temperature compensation.

If no external diode junction is detected, READ_TEMPERATURE_2 returns a value of -273°C and is not
used for temperature faults or READ_IOUT temperature compensation.

The Maxim-specific command

EXT_TEMP_CAL

can be used to adjust the diode ideality factor to

match that of the actual diode junction used for external temperature sensing and to add or remove
a fixed temperature offset for calibration purposes.

READ_DUTY_CYCLE

Reference:

Standard Command

Lockable:

N/A

Command Code:

The READ_DUTY_CYCLE command returns an averaged measure of the pulse-width modulator output
value in percent. The duty-cycle value is averaged over 256 PWM cycles.
