The MAX15303 includes three banks of nonvolatile (flash memory) storage for most “writable”
PMBus command values, referred to as the USER, DEFAULT, and MAXIM stores. These stores are fully
independent, but identical in structure.
The DEFAULT store is intended to function as a backup of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
preferred device configuration. OEMs should save identical configurations to the USER store and the
DEFAULT store, such that the USER store can be refreshed from the DEFAULT store if needed.
The contents of the DEFAULT store are never loaded into working memory unless the
In general, when the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command is sent, the existing contents of the DEFAULT
store are erased, and the contents of the working PMBus memory (volatile RAM) are written into the
DEFAULT store. There are exceptions to this behavior, as follows:

The manufacturer flags for password command locking are stored

The manufacturer security password is always volatile for obvious
reasons.
The user flags for password command locking are stored
independently in nonvolatile memory for security.
The user security password is always volatile for obvious reasons.
This command is used to initiate a partial internal edit of the
nonvolatile “Config Page” special-purpose memory bank.
Wait at least 450ms for execution after sending the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command before sending
additional PMBus commands.
