Table 3. PMBus Command Code Coefficients
To send a value, the host must use the below equation
to solve for Y:
where Y is the 2-byte, two’s complement integer to be
sent to the unit; m is the slope coefficient; X is the real
world value, in units such as volts, to be converted for
transmission; b is the offset; and R is the exponent.
The following example demonstrates how the host can
send and retrieve values from the device. Table 4 shows
the coefficients used in the following parameters.

If a host wants to set the device to change the power-
supply output voltage to 3.465V (or 3465mV), the cor-
responding VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH value is:
Conversely, if the host received a value of 0D89h on a
READ_VOUT command, this is equivalent to:
Power supplies and power converters generally have
no way of knowing how their outputs are connected to
ground. Within the power supply, all output voltages are
most commonly treated as positive. Accordingly, all out-
put voltages and output voltage-related parameters of
PMBus devices are commanded and reported as posi-
tive values. It is up to the system to know that a particular
output is negative if that is of interest to the system. All
output-voltage-related commands use 2 data bytes.
Y = (1 x 3465 + 0) x 10
X = (1/1) x (0D89h x 10
