TPS536C5: Please help to list what condition will trigger PMBUS Alert low

Hi Roger,
Thanks for posting to the E2E forums. I have compiled a list of conditions that will cause the TPS536C5 controller to set PMBUS Alert low:

• If the NVM fault log has non-zero fault info at power on
• Tracking Over Voltage Warning, occurs if vout > VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT
• Tracking Over Voltage Fault, occurs if vout > VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT
• Fixed Over Voltage Fault, occurs if vout > VOUT_MAX + OVFIX
• Tracking Under Voltage Warning, occurs if vout < VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT
• Tracking Under Voltage Fault, occurs if vout < VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT
• Fixed Under Voltage Fault, occurs if vout < VOUT_MIN - UVFIX
• TON_MAX fault, occurs if vout did not rise to regulation level within set time limit,TON_MAX, during soft start
• Over Current Warning, occurs if total iout > IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT
• Over Current Fault, occurs if total iout > IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT
• Input Over Voltage Fault, occurs if vin > VIN_OV_FAULT_LIMIT
• Input Over Current Fault, occurs if iin < IIN_OC_FAULT_LIMIT
• Input Over Power Warning, occurs if pin > PIN_OP_WARN_LIMIT
• Over Temperature Warning, occurs if temperature > OT_WARN_LIMIT
• Over Temperature Fault, occurs if temperature > OT_FAULT_LIMIT
• Power Stage Fault, occurs if TAO pulled high
• Power Stage not ready, occurs if TAO pulled low

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Troy
