Table 5. Command Byte Definitions
Security in Writing Commands
All writing operations are critical and must not be
inadvertently latched after a false command. To improve the
security level, a so-called first command is defined to initiate
each write communications.
A first command has the Command Byte address field equal
to the related operation one, followed by a null value field (all
zeros).
Table 6 summarizes first command definitions. The
master sends the first command before the Command Byte for
the intended operation.
Voltage Margining Operation
After starting the communication in Writing mode, the master
sends the first command followed by the specific Command
Byte to set the required voltage margining for either the LDO or
the switcher (see
Figure 17). To achieve a simultaneous set for
both LDO and switcher, two specific commands must be issued
in sequence after the first command, one for each supply.

(One Supply Only)
Note x bits are defined in
Table 5.
Watchdog Programming Operation
For watchdog operation control, the master periodically
sends a watchdog first command followed by a command byte
selecting, or confirming, the watchdog period according to the
The internal watchdog timer will be cleared each time a
watchdog command is written into the device, provided it
arrives during the window open time. The Command 01100000
sent twice will shut the time OFF, and the watchdog function will
be disabled. Any other valid watchdog command turns on the
timer again.
