GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1275 is a hot-swap controller that allows a circuit board
to be removed from or inserted into a live backplane. It also features
current and voltage readback via an integrated 12-bit analog-todigital converter (ADC), accessed using a PMBus™ interface.
The load current is measured using an internal current sense
amplifier that measures the voltage across a sense resistor in
the power path via the SENSE+ and SENSE− pins. A default
limit of 20 mV is set, but this limit can be adjusted, if required,
using a resistor divider network from the internal reference
voltage to the ISET pin.
The ADM1275 limits the current through the sense resistor by
controlling the gate voltage of an external N-channel FET in the
power path, via the GATE pin. The sense voltage—and, therefore,
the load current—is maintained below the preset maximum. The
ADM1275 protects the external FET by limiting the time that the
FET remains on while the current is at its maximum value. This
current limit time is set by the choice of capacitor connected to
the TIMER pin. In addition, a foldback resistor network can be
used to actively lower the current limit as the voltage across the
FET is increased. This helps to maintain constant power in the
FET and allows the safe operating area (SOA) to be adhered to
in an effective manner.
Rev. D
In case of a short-circuit event, a fast internal overcurrent detector responds within 370 ns and signals the gate to shut down. A
1500 mA pull-down device ensures a fast FET response. The
ADM1275 features overvoltage and undervoltage protection,
programmed using external resistor dividers on the UV and OV
pins. A PWRGD signal can be used to detect when the output
supply is valid, using the FLB pin to monitor the output. GPO
pins can be configured as various output signals that can be
asserted when a programmed current or voltage level is reached.
The 12-bit ADC can measure the current in the sense resistor,
as well as the supply voltage on the SENSE+ pin or the output
voltage. A PMBus interface allows a controller to read current
and voltage data from the ADC. Measurements can be initiated
by a PMBus command. Alternatively, the ADC can run continuously, and the user can read the latest conversion data whenever
required. Up to four unique PMBus addresses can be selected,
depending on the way that the ADR pin is connected.
The ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3 are available in a 20-lead QSOP
and 20-lead LFCSP and have a LATCH pin that can be configured
for automatic retry or latch-off when an overcurrent fault occurs.
The ADM1275-2 is available in a 16-lead QSOP with latch-off
mode only.

Description
Positive Supply Input Pin. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit resets the device when a low
supply voltage is detected. GATE is held low when the supply is below UVLO. During normal
operation, this pin should remain greater than or equal to SENSE+ to ensure that specifications
are adhered to. No sequencing is required.
Undervoltage Input Pin. An external resistor divider is used from the supply to this pin to allow an
internal comparator to detect whether the supply is under the UV limit.
Overvoltage Input Pin. An external resistor divider is used from the supply to this pin to allow an
internal comparator to detect whether the supply is above the OV limit.
Internal Regulated Supply. A capacitor with a value of 1 µF or greater should be placed on this pin
to maintain good accuracy. This pin can be used as a reference to program the ISET pin voltage.
This pin allows the current limit threshold to be programmed. The default limit is set when this pin
is connected directly to VCAP. To achieve a user-defined sense voltage, the current limit can be
adjusted using a resistor divider from VCAP. An external reference can also be used.
Soft Start Pin. A capacitor is used on this pin to set the soft start ramp profile. The voltage on the
SS pin controls the current sense voltage limit, which controls the inrush current profile.
Timer Pin. An external capacitor, CTIMER, sets an initial timing cycle delay and a fault delay. The GATE
pin is pulled low when the voltage on the TIMER pin exceeds the upper threshold.
Signals that the device is latching off after an overcurrent fault. The device can be configured for
automatic retry after latch-off by connecting this pin directly back to the UV pin.
PMBus Address Pin. This pin can be tied to GND, tied to VCAP, left floating, or tied low through a
resistor to set four different PMBus addresses (see the Device Addressing section).
General-Purpose Digital Output (GPO1).
Alert (ALERT1). This pin can be configured to generate an alert signal when one or more fault or
warning conditions are detected.
Conversion (CONV). This pin can be used as an input signal to control when a power monitor ADC
sampling cycle begins.
At power-up, this pin defaults to a high impedance state. There is no internal pull-up on this pin.
General-Purpose Digital Output (GPO2).
Alert (ALERT2). This pin can be configured to generate an alert signal when one or more fault or
warning conditions are detected.
At power-up, this pin indicates the FET health mode by default. There is no internal pull-up on this pin.

Description
Serial Data Input/Output Pin. Open-drain input/output. Requires an external resistive pull-up.
Serial Clock Pin. Open-drain input. Requires an external resistive pull-up.
Power-Good Signal. Used to indicate that the supply is within tolerance. This signal is based on the
voltage present on the FLB pin.
Foldback Pin. A foldback resistor divider is placed from the source of the FET to this pin. Foldback is
used to reduce the current limit when the source voltage drops. The foldback feature ensures that
the power through the FET is not increased beyond the SOA limits.
This pin is used to read back the output voltage using the internal ADC. A 1 kΩ resistor should be
inserted in series between the source of a FET and the VOUT pin.
Chip Ground Pin.
Gate Output Pin. This pin is the high-side gate drive of an external N-channel FET. This pin is driven
by the FET drive controller, which uses a charge pump to provide a pull-up current to charge the FET
gate pin. The FET drive controller regulates to a maximum load current by regulating the GATE pin.
GATE is held low when the supply is below UVLO.
Negative Current Sense Input Pin. A sense resistor between the SENSE+ pin and the SENSE− pin sets
the analog current limit. The hot-swap operation of the ADM1275 controls the external FET gate to
maintain the sense voltage (VSENSE+ − VSENSE−). This pin also connects to the FET drain pin.
Positive Current Sense Input Pin. This pin connects to the main supply input. A sense resistor
between the SENSE+ pin and the SENSE− pin sets the analog current limit. The hot-swap operation
of the ADM1275 controls the external FET gate to maintain the sense voltage (VSENSE+ − VSENSE−). This
pin is also used to measure the supply input voltage using the ADC.

THEORY OF OPERATION
RSENSE
2.95V TO 20V
When circuit boards are inserted into a live backplane, discharged
supply bypass capacitors draw large transient currents from the
backplane power bus as they charge. These transient currents can
cause permanent damage to connector pins, as well as dips on
the backplane supply that can reset other boards in the system.
22Ω
SENSE+
The ADM1275 is designed to control the powering on and off
of a system in a controlled manner, allowing a board to be removed
from, or inserted into, a live backplane by protecting it from excess
currents. The ADM1275 can reside on the back-plane or on the
removable board.

POWERING THE ADM1275
To ensure correct operation of the ADM1275, the voltage on
the VCC pin must be greater than or equal to the voltage on
the SENSE+ pin. No sequencing of the VCC and SENSE+ rails
is necessary. The SENSE+ pin can be as low as 2 V for normal
operation provided that a voltage of at least 2.95 V is connected
to the VCC pin. In most applications, both the VCC and SENSE+
pins are connected to the same voltage rail, but they are connected
via separate traces to prevent accuracy loss in the sense voltage
measurement (see Figure 46).
RSENSE
Figure 47. Transient Glitch Protection Using an RC Network
CURRENT SENSE INPUTS
The load current is monitored by measuring the voltage drop
across an external sense resistor, RSENSE (see Figure 48). An
internal current sense amplifier provides a gain of 50 to the
voltage drop detected across RSENSE. The result is compared to
an internal reference and used by the hot-swap control logic to
detect when an overcurrent condition occurs.

The SENSE inputs may be connected to multiple parallel sense
resistors, which can affect the voltage drop detected by the
ADM1275. The current flowing through the sense resistors
creates an offset, resulting in reduced accuracy.

A supply voltage from 2.95 V to 20 V is required to power the
ADM1275 via the VCC pin. The VCC pin provides the majority
of the bias current for the device; the remainder of the current
needed to control the gate drive and best regulate the VGS
voltage is supplied by the SENSE+ pin.
2.95V TO 20V
Q1
Figure 46. Powering the ADM1275
To protect the ADM1275 from unnecessary resets due to transient
supply glitches, an external resistor and capacitor can be added,
as shown in Figure 47. The values of these components should be
chosen to provide a time constant that can filter any expected
glitches. The resistor should, however, be small enough to keep
voltage drops due to quiescent current to a minimum. A supply
decoupling capacitor should not be placed on the rail before the
FET unless a resistor is used to limit the inrush current.
To achieve better accuracy, averaging resistors sum the current
from the nodes of each sense resistor, as shown in Figure 49. The
typical value for the averaging resistors is 10 Ω. The value of the
averaging resistors is chosen to be much greater than the trace
resistance between the sense resistors terminals and the inputs
to the ADM1275. This greatly reduces the effects of differences
in the trace resistances.

CURRENT LIMIT REFERENCE
The current limit reference voltage determines the load current
level to which the ADM1275 limits the current during an
overcurrent event. This reference voltage is compared to the
gained-up current sense voltage to determine whether the limit
is reached.
An internal current limit reference selector block continuously
compares the ISET, soft start, and foldback voltages to determine
which voltage is the lowest at any given time; the lowest voltage
is used as the current limit reference. This ensures that the
programmed current limit, ISET, is used in normal operation,
and that the soft start and foldback features reduce the current
limit when required during startup and/or fault conditions.
RSENSE
VCC
Figure 51. Interaction of Soft Start, Foldback, and ISET Current Limits
SETTING THE CURRENT LIMIT (ISET)
The maximum current limit is partially determined by selecting
a sense resistor to match the current sense voltage limit on the
controller for the desired load current. However, as currents
become larger, the sense resistor requirements become smaller,
and resolution can be difficult to achieve when selecting the
appropriate sense resistor. The ADM1275 provides an adjustable
current sense voltage limit to handle this issue. The device allows
the user to program the required current sense voltage limit
from 5 mV to 25 mV.
The default value of 20 mV is achieved by connecting the ISET
pin directly to the VCAP pin. This configures the device to use
an internal 1 V reference, which equates to 20 mV at the sense
inputs (see Figure 52).

The foldback and soft start voltages vary during different modes
of operation and are, therefore, clamped to minimum levels of
200 mV and 100 mV, respectively, to prevent zero current flow
due to the current limit being too low. Figure 51 provides an
example of how the soft start, foldback, and ISET voltages
interact during startup as the ADM1275 is enhancing the FET
and charging the load capacitances. Depending on how the soft
start and foldback features are configured, the hand-off point
can vary to ensure that the FET is operated correctly.

The VCAP pin has a 2.7 V (±1.5%) internal generated voltage
that can be used to set a voltage at the ISET pin. Assuming that
VISET equals the voltage on the ISET pin, the resistor divider
should be sized to set the ISET voltage as follows:
VISET = VSENSE × 50
where VSENSE is the current sense voltage limit.
The VCAP rail can also be used as the pull-up supply for setting
the I2C address. The VCAP pin should not be used for any other
purpose. To guarantee accuracy specifications, care should be
taken not to load the VCAP pin by more than 100 μA.
SOFT START
A capacitor connected to the SS pin determines the inrush
current profile. Before the FET is enabled, the output voltage of
the current limit reference selector block is clamped at 100 mV.
This, in turn, holds the hot-swap sense voltage current limit,
VSENSECL, at approximately 2 mV. When the FET is requested to
turn on, the SS pin is held at ground until the voltage between
the SENSE+ and SENSE− pins (VSENSE) reaches the circuit
breaker voltage, VCB.
VCB = VSENSECL − VCBOS
where VCBOS is typically 0.88 mV, making VCB = 1.12 mV.
When the load current generates a sense voltage equal to VCB, a
10 μA current source is enabled, which charges the SS capacitor
and results in a linear ramping voltage on the SS pin. The current
limit reference also ramps up accordingly, allowing the regulated
load current to ramp up while avoiding sudden transients during
power-up. The SS capacitor value is given by
C SS 
I SS  t
VISET
where:
ISS = 10 μA.
t = SS ramp time.
For example, a 10 nF capacitor gives a soft start time of 1 ms.

Foldback is a method to actively reduce the current limit as the
voltage drop across the FET increases. It keeps the power across
the FET to a minimum during power-up, overcurrent, or shortcircuit events. It also avoids the need to oversize the FET to
accommodate worst-case conditions, resulting in board size
and cost savings.
The ADM1275 detects the voltage drop across the FET by
looking at a resistor-divided version of the output voltage. It is
assumed that the supply voltage remains constant and within
tolerance. The device therefore relies on the principle that the
drain of the FET is at the maximum expected supply voltage,
and that the magnitude of the output voltage is relative to that
of the VDS of the FET. Using a resistor divider from the output
voltage to the FLB pin, a relationship from VOUT, and thus VDS,
to VFLB can be derived.
The resistor divider should be designed to output a voltage
equal to ISET when VOUT falls below the desired level. This
should be well below the working tolerance of the supply rail.
As VOUT continues to drop, the current limit reference follows
VFLB because it is now the lowest voltage input to the current
limit reference selector block. This results in a reduction of the
current limit and, therefore, the regulated load current. To
prevent complete current flow restriction, a clamp becomes
active when the current limit reference reaches 200 mV. The
current limit cannot drop below this level.
To suit the SOA characteristics of a particular FET, the required
minimum current for this clamp varies from design to design.
However, the current limit reference fixes this clamp at 200 mV,
which equates to 4 mV at the sense resistor. Therefore, the main
ISET voltage can be adjusted to align this clamp to the required
percentage current reduction. For example, if ISET equals 0.8 V,
the clamp can be set at 25% of the maximum current.
Note that the SS voltage may intersect with the FLB (foldback)
voltage, and the current limit reference may change to follow
FLB (see Figure 51). This change has minimal impact on startup
because the output voltage rises at a similar rate to the SS voltage.

TIMER
However, if the overcurrent condition is continuous and the
sense voltage remains above the circuit breaker trip voltage, the
60 µA pull-up remains active and the FET remains in regulation.
The TIMER pin handles several timing functions with an
external capacitor, CTIMER. The two comparator thresholds are
VTIMERL (0.2 V) and VTIMERH (1 V). There are four timing current
sources: a 3 μA pull-up, a 60 μA pull-up, a 2 μA pull-down, and
a 100 μA pull-down.
This allows the TIMER pin to reach VTIMERH and initiate the
GATE shutdown. On the ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3, the
LATCH pin is pulled low immediately.
These current and voltage levels, together with the value of
CTIMER chosen by the user, determine the initial timing cycle
time, the fault current limit time, and the hot-swap retry duty
cycle. The TIMER capacitor value is determined using the
following equation:
In latch-off mode, the TIMER pin is switched to the 2 µA
pull-down when it reaches the VTIMERH threshold. The LATCH
pin (ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3) remains low. While the
TIMER pin is being pulled down, the hot-swap controller is
kept off and cannot be turned back on.
CTIMER = (tON × 60 μA)/VTIMERH
where tON is the time that the FET is allowed to spend in regulation at the set current limit. The choice of FET is based on
matching this time with the SOA requirements of the FET.
Foldback can be used to simplify the selection.
When VCC is connected to the backplane supply, the internal
supply of the ADM1275 must be charged up. In a very short
time, the internal supply is fully charged up and, because the
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) voltage is exceeded at VCC, the
device comes out of reset. During this first short reset period,
the GATE and TIMER pins are both held low.
The ADM1275 then goes through an initial timing cycle. The
TIMER pin is pulled high with 3 μA. When the TIMER reaches
the VTIMERH threshold (1.0 V), the first portion of the initial timing
cycle is complete. The 100 μA current source then pulls down the
TIMER pin until it reaches VTIMERL (0.2 V). The initial timing
cycle duration is related to CTIMER by the following equation:
t INITIAL =
VTIMERH × CTIMER
3 µA
+
(VTIMERH − VTIMERL ) × CTIMER
100 µA
For example, a 100 nF capacitor results in a delay of approximately 34 ms. If the UV and OV inputs indicate that the supply
is within the defined window of operation when the initial
timing cycle terminates, the device is ready to start a hot-swap
operation.
When the voltage across the sense resistor reaches the circuit
breaker trip voltage, VCB, the 60 µA timer pull-up current is
activated, and the gate begins to regulate the current at the
current limit. This initiates a ramp-up on the TIMER pin. If the
sense voltage falls below this circuit breaker trip voltage before
the TIMER pin reaches VTIMERH, the 60 µA pull-up is disabled
and the 2 µA pull-down is enabled.
The circuit breaker trip voltage is not the same as the hot-swap
sense voltage current limit. There is a small circuit breaker offset,
VCBOS, which means that the timer actually starts a short time
before the current reaches the defined current limit.
When the voltage on the TIMER pin goes below the VTIMERL
threshold, the hot-swap controller can be reenabled by toggling
the UV pin or by using the PMBus OPERATION command to
toggle the ON bit from on to off and then on again.
HOT-SWAP RETRY DUTY CYCLE
The ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3 turn off the FET after an
overcurrent fault and then use the capacitor on the TIMER pin
to provide a delay before automatically retrying the hot-swap
operation. To configure the ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3 for
autoretry mode, the LATCH pin is tied to the UV pin or to the
ENABLE pin (ADM1275-3 only). Note that a pull-up is
required on the LATCH pin.
When an overcurrent fault occurs, the TIMER capacitor is
charged with a 60 μA pull-up current. When the TIMER pin
reaches VTIMERH, the GATE pin is pulled down. When the
LATCH pin is tied to the UV pin or the ENABLE pin for
autoretry mode, the TIMER pin is pulled down with a 2 μA
current sink. When the TIMER pin reaches VTIMERL (0.2 V),
it automatically restarts the hot-swap operation.
The duty cycle of this automatic retry cycle is set by the ratio of
2 µA/60 µA, which approximates to being on about 4% of the
time. The value of the timer capacitor determines the on time of
this cycle, which is calculated as follows:
tON = VTIMERH × (CTIMER/60 μA)
tOFF = (VTIMERH − VTIMERL) × (CTIMER/2 μA)
A 100 nF TIMER capacitor gives an on time of 1.67 ms and an
off time of 40 ms. The device retries indefinitely in this manner
and can be disabled manually by holding the UV or ENABLE
pin low or by disconnecting the LATCH pin. To prevent thermal
stress, an RC network can be used to extend the retry time to
any desired level.
FET GATE DRIVE CLAMPS
The charge pump used on the GATE pin is capable of driving
the pin to VCC + (2 × VCC), but it is clamped to less than 14 V
above the SENSE pins and less than 31 V. These clamps ensure
that the maximum VGS rating of the FET is not exceeded.

ADM1275
FAST RESPONSE TO SEVERE OVERCURRENT
The ADM1275 features a separate high bandwidth current
sense amplifier that is used to detect a severe overcurrent that
is indicative of a short-circuit condition. A fast response time
allows the ADM1275 to handle events of this type that could
otherwise cause catastrophic damage if not detected and acted
on very quickly. The fast response circuit ensures that the
ADM1275 can detect an overcurrent event at approximately
200% to 250% of the normal current limit (ISET) and can
respond to and control the current within 1 µs, in most cases.
If an enable function is required on the ADM1275-1 or
ADM1275-2, which do not have a dedicated ENABLE pin, a
similar function can be achieved using the UV pin directly.
Alternatively, if the UV divider function is still required, the
configuration shown in Figure 56 can be used.

Figure 55 illustrates the voltage monitoring input connections.
An external resistor network divides the supply voltage for
monitoring. An undervoltage event is detected when the voltage
connected to the UV pin falls below 1 V, and the gate is shut
down using the 10 mA pull-down device. Similarly, when an
overvoltage event occurs and the voltage on the OV pin exceeds
1 V, the gate is shut down using the 10 mA pull-down device.

Diode D1 prevents the external driver pull-up from affecting

Make sure that the EN sink current does not exceed the specified
VOL value. If the open-drain device has no pull-up, the diode is
not required.
POWER GOOD
The PWRGD output can be used to indicate whether the output
voltage is above a user-defined threshold and can, therefore, be
considered good. The PWRGD output is derived using the FLB
resistor network, composed of R1 and R2 (see Figure 57).
PWRGD is an open-drain output that pulls low when the voltage
at the FLB pin is lower than 1.1 × VISET (power bad). When the
voltage at the FLB pin is above this threshold (indicating that
the output voltage is up), the open-drain pull-down is disabled,
allowing PWRGD to be pulled high. PWRGD is guaranteed to
be in a valid state for VCC ≥ 1 V.

ENABLE INPUT (ADM1275-3 ONLY)
The ADM1275-3 provides a dedicated ENABLE digital input pin
instead of the GPO1/ALERT1/CONV pin on the ADM1275-1
and the ADM1275-2.
The ENABLE pin allows the ADM1275-3 to be kept off using a
hardware signal, even when the voltage on the UV pin is above
1.0 V and the voltage on the OV pin is less than 1.0 V. Although
the UV pin can be used to provide a digital enable signal, using
the ENABLE pin for this purpose means that the ability to
monitor for undervoltage conditions is not lost.
Hysteresis on the FLB pin is provided by a 2 μA internal current
source that is switched on when the VFLB input voltage exceeds
the input threshold. The current source is disconnected when
VOUT drops below the foldback threshold voltage minus the
hysteresis voltage. Resistor R3 is internal to the ADM1275. The
hysteresis voltage at the FLB pin can be varied by adjusting the
parallel combination of Resistor R1 and Resistor R2.
In addition to the conditions for the UV and OV pins, the
ADM1275-3 ENABLE input pin must be high for the device
to begin a power-up sequence.

UNDERVOLTAGE AND OVERVOLTAGE
The ADM1275 monitors the supply voltage for undervoltage
(UV) and overvoltage (OV) conditions. The UV and OV pins
are connected to the input of an internal voltage comparator,
and its voltage level is internally compared with a 1 V voltage
reference.

VOUT MEASUREMENT
The VOUT pin on the ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3 can be
used to provide an alternate voltage for the power monitor to
measure. The user can choose to measure the voltage at the
SENSE+ pin or the voltage at the VOUT pin, using either the
low or high input voltage range.
If the VOUT pin will be used to measure the output voltage after
the FET, a 1 kΩ resistor should be inserted in series between the
source of the FET and the VOUT pin. This resistor provides some
separation between the ADM1275 and the FET source during a
fault condition, so that ADM1275 operation is not affected.
FET HEALTH
The ADM1275 provides a method of detecting a shorted pass
FET. The FET health status can be used to generate an alert on
the GPO1/ALERT1/CONV and GPO2/ALERT2 pins. By default
at power-up, an alert is generated on the GPO2/ALERT2 pin of
the ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3 if the FET health status
indicates that a bad FET is present. FET health is considered
bad if all of the following conditions are true:
•
•
•
The ADM1275 is holding the FET off, for example, during
the initial power-on cycle time.
VSENSE > 2 mV.
VGATE < ~1 V, that is, less than the FET gate threshold.
POWER MONITOR
The ADM1275 features an integrated ADC that is used to
accurately measure the current sense voltage and either the
input or output voltage. Because the ADM1275-1 and
ADM1275-3 have a VOUT pin, the power monitor can be
configured using the PMBus to measure either the input or the
output voltage. The ADM1275-2 does not have a VOUT pin, so
only the input voltage at the SENSE+ pin can be measured.
The ADM1275 can report the measured current and either the
input or output voltage. The PEAK_IOUT, PEAK_VIN, and
PEAK_VOUT commands can be used to read the highest peak
current or voltage since the value was last cleared.
An averaging function is provided for voltage and current that
allows a number of samples to be averaged by the ADM1275.
This function reduces the need for postprocessing of sampled
data by the host processor. The number of samples that can be
averaged is 2N, where N is in the range of 0 to 7.
The power monitor current sense amplifier is bipolar and can
measure both positive and negative currents. The power
monitor amplifier has an input range of ±25 mV.
Two input voltage ranges are available and can be selected using
the PMBus interface: 0 V to 6 V (low input range) and 0 V to
20 V (high input range).
The two basic modes of operation for the power monitor are
single shot and continuous. In single-shot mode, the power
monitor samples the input voltage and current a number of
times, depending on the averaging value selected by the user.
The ADM1275 returns a single value corresponding to the
average voltage and current measured. When configured for
continuous mode, the power monitor continuously samples
voltage and current, making the most recent sample available
to be read.
The single-shot mode can be triggered in a number of ways.
The simplest is by selecting the single-shot mode using the
PMON_CONFIG command and writing the CONVERT bit
using the PMON_CONTROL command. The CONVERT bit
can also be written as part of a PMBus group command. Using a
group command allows multiple devices to be written to as part
of the same I2C bus transaction, with all devices executing the
command when the stop condition appears on the bus. In this
way, several devices can be triggered to sample at the same time.
When the GPO1/ALERT1/CONV pin is set to the convert
(CONV) mode, an external hardware signal can be used to
trigger the single-shot sampling of one or more parts at the
same time.

ADM1275
PMBus INTERFACE
The I2C bus is a common, simple serial bus used by many devices
to communicate. It defines the electrical specifications, the bus
timing, the physical layer, and some basic protocol rules.
SMBus is based on I2C and aims to provide a more robust and
fault-tolerant bus. Functions such as bus timeout and packet
error checking are added to help achieve this robustness, along
with more specific definitions of the bus messages used to read
and write data to devices on the bus.
PMBus is layered on top of SMBus and, in turn, on I2C. Using the
SMBus defined bus messages, PMBus defines a set of standard
commands that can be used to control a device that is part of a
power chain.
The ADM1275 command set is based upon the PMBus™ Power
System Management Protocol Specification, Part I and Part II,
Revision 1.1. This version of the standard is intended to provide
a common set of commands for communicating with dc-to-dc
type devices. However, many of the standard PMBus commands
can be mapped directly to the functions of a hot-swap controller.
Part I and Part II of the PMBus standard describe the basic
commands and how they can be used in a typical PMBus setup.
The following sections describe how the PMBus standard and
the ADM1275 specific commands are used.
DEVICE ADDRESSING
The ADM1275 is available in three models: the ADM1275-1,
the ADM1275-2, and the ADM1275-3. The PMBus address is
7 bits in size. The upper 5 bits (MSBs) of the address word are
fixed and are different for each model, as follows:
•
•
•
ADM1275-1: Base address is 00100xx (0x10)
ADM1275-2: Base address is 00110xx (0x18)
ADM1275-3: Base address is 01000xx (0x20)
The ADM1275-1, ADM1275-2, and ADM1275-3 all have a
single ADR pin that is used to select one of four possible
addresses for a given model. The ADR pin connection selects
the lowest two bits (LSBs) of the 7-bit address word (see Table 8).

SMBus PROTOCOL USAGE
All I2C transactions on the ADM1275 are done using SMBus
defined bus protocols. The following SMBus protocols are
implemented by the ADM1275:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Send byte
Receive byte
Write byte
Read byte
Write word
Read word
Block read
PACKET ERROR CHECKING
The ADM1275 PMBus interface supports the use of the packet
error checking (PEC) byte that is defined in the SMBus standard.
The PEC byte is transmitted by the ADM1275 during a read
transaction or sent by the bus host to the ADM1275 during a
write transaction. The ADM1275 supports the use of PEC with
all the SMBus protocols that it implements.
The use of the PEC byte is optional. The bus host can decide
whether to use the PEC byte with the ADM1275 on a messageby-message basis. There is no need to enable or disable PEC in
the ADM1275.
The PEC byte is used by the bus host or the ADM1275 to detect
errors during a bus transaction, depending on whether the transaction is a read or a write. If the host determines that the PEC
byte read during a read transaction is incorrect, it can decide to
repeat the read if necessary. If the ADM1275 determines that the
PEC byte sent during a write transaction is incorrect, it ignores
the command (does not execute it) and sets a status flag.
Within a group command, the host can choose to send or not
send a PEC byte as part of the message to the ADM1275.
PARTIAL TRANSACTIONS ON I2C BUS
In the event of a specific sequence of events occurring on the
I2C bus, it is possible for the I2C interface on the device to go
into a state where it fails to ACK the next I2C transaction directed
to it. There are two ways that this behavior can be triggered:
•
•
A partial I2C transaction consisting of a start condition,
followed by a single SCL clock pulse and stop condition.
If the I2C bus master does not follow the 300 ns SDA data
hold time when signaling the ACK/NACK bit at the end of
a transaction. The device sees this as a single SCL clock
partial transaction.
In the event that the device NACKs a transaction, then the I2C
interface on the device can be reset by sending a series of up to
16 SCL clock pulses, or performing a dummy transaction to
another I2C address on the bus.

“A” represents the ACK (acknowledge) bit. The ACK bit is typically active low (Logic 0) if the transmitted byte is successfully
received by a device. However, when the receiving device is the
bus master, the acknowledge bit for the last byte read is a Logic 1,
indicated by A.

Figure 65. Group Command and Group Command with PEC
GROUP COMMANDS
The PMBus standard defines what are known as group
commands. Group commands are single bus transactions that
send commands or data to more than one device at the same
time. Each device is addressed separately, using its own address;
there is no special group command address. A group command
transaction can contain only write commands that send data to
a device. It is not possible to use a group command to read data
from devices.
From an I2C protocol point of view, a normal write command
consists of the following:
•
•
•
•
I2C start condition
Slave address bits and a write bit (followed by ACK from
the slave device)
One or more data bytes (each of which is followed by ACK
from the slave device)
I2C stop condition to end the transaction
A group command differs from a nongroup command in that
after the data is written to one slave device, a repeated start
condition is put on the bus followed by the address of the next
slave device and data. This continues until all the devices have
been written to, at which point the stop condition is put on the
bus by the master device.
The format of a group command and a group command with
PEC is shown in Figure 65.
Each device that is written to as part of the group command
does not immediately execute the command written. The device
must wait until the stop condition appears on the bus. At that
point, all devices execute their commands at the same time.
Using a group command, it is possible, for example, to turn
multiple PMBus devices on or off at the same time. In the case
of the ADM1275, it is also possible to issue a power monitor
command that initiates a conversion, causing multiple ADM1275
devices to sample together at the same time. This is analogous
to connecting the GPO1/ALERT1/CONV pins together and
configuring the pin in the convert (CONV) mode to drive the
power monitor sampling.
Rev. D | Page 29 of 48
ADM1275
Data Sheet
HOT-SWAP CONTROL COMMANDS
POWER_CYCLE Command
OPERATION Command
The POWER_CYCLE command can be used to request that the
ADM1275 be turned off for ~4 seconds and then back on. This
command can be useful if the processor that controls the
ADM1275 is also powered off when the ADM1275 is turned off.
This command allows the processor to request that the ADM1275
turn off and back on again as part of a single command.
The GATE pin that drives the FET is controlled by a dedicated
hot-swap state machine. The UV and OV input pins, along with
the TIMER and SS pins and the current sense, all feed into the
state machine and control when and how strongly the gate is
turned off.
It is also possible to control the hot-swap GATE output using
commands over the PMBus interface. The OPERATION command can be used to request the hot-swap output to turn on.
However, if the UV pin indicates that the input supply is less
than required, the hot-swap output is not turned on, even if the
OPERATION command indicates that the output should be
enabled.
If the OPERATION command is used to disable the hot-swap
output, the GATE pin is held low, even if all hot-swap state
machine control inputs indicate that it can be enabled.
The default state of the OPERATION command ON bit is 1,
so the hot-swap output is always enabled when the ADM1275
comes out of UVLO. If the ON bit is never changed, the UV
input (or the ENABLE input on the ADM1275-3) is the hotswap master on/off control signal.
ADM1275 INFORMATION COMMANDS
CAPABILITY Command
The CAPABILITY command can be used by host processors
to determine the I2C bus features supported by the ADM1275.
The features reported are the maximum bus speed and whether
the device supports the packet error checking (PEC) byte and
the SMBAlert reporting function.
PMBUS_REVISION Command
The PMBUS_REVISION command reports the version of Part I
and Part II of the PMBus standard.
MFR_ID, MFR_MODEL, and MFR_REVISION Commands
The MFR_ID, MFR_MODEL, and MFR_REVISION
commands return ASCII strings that can be used to facilitate
detection and identification of the ADM1275 on the bus.
By default at power-up, the OPERATION command is disabled
and must be enabled using the DEVICE_CONFIG command.
This prevents inadvertent shutdowns of the hot-swap controller
by software.
These commands are read using the SMBus block read message
type. This message type requires that the ADM1275 return a
byte count corresponding to the length of the string data that is
to be read back.
If the ON bit is set to 0 while the UV signal is high, the hot-swap
output is turned off. If the UV signal is low or if the OV signal
is high, the hot-swap output will already be off and the status
of the ON bit has no effect.
STATUS COMMANDS
If the ON bit is set to 1, the hot-swap output is requested to turn
on. If the UV signal is low or if the OV signal is high, setting the
ON bit to 1 has no effect, and the hot-swap output remains off.
It is possible to determine at any time whether the hot-swap output
is enabled using the STATUS_BYTE or the STATUS_WORD
command (see the Status Commands section).
The OPERATION command can also be used to clear any latched
faults in the status registers. To clear latched faults, set the ON
bit to 0 and then reset it to 1.
DEVICE_CONFIG Command
The DEVICE_CONFIG command is used to configure certain
settings within the ADM1275, for example, to enable or disable
foldback in the hot-swap controller or to modify the duration of
the severe overcurrent glitch filter. This command is also used
to configure the polarity of the second IOUT current warnings.
At power-up, the OPERATION command is disabled and
the ADM1275 responds with a NACK if the OPERATION
command is received. To allow use of the OPERATION
command, the OPERATION_CMD_EN bit must be set
using the DEVICE_CONFIG command.
The ADM1275 provides a number of status bits that are used
to report faults and warnings from the hot-swap controller and
the power monitor. These status bits are located in six different
registers that are arranged in a hierarchy. The STATUS_BYTE
and STATUS_WORD commands provide 8 bits and 16 bits of
high level information, respectively. The STATUS_BYTE and
STATUS_WORD commands contain the most important status
bits, as well as pointer bits that indicate whether any of the four
other status registers need to be read for more detailed status
information.
In the ADM1275, a particular distinction is made between
faults and warnings. A fault is always generated by the hot-swap
controller and is defined by hardware component values. Three
events can generate a fault:
•
•
•
Overcurrent condition that causes the hot-swap timer to
time out
Overvoltage condition on the OV pin
Undervoltage condition on the UV pin
When a fault occurs, the hot-swap controller always takes some
action, usually to turn off the GATE pin, which is driving the
FET. A fault can also generate an SMBAlert on one or both of
the GPOx/ALERTx pins.
Rev. D | Page 30 of 48
Data Sheet
ADM1275
All warnings in the ADM1275 are generated by the power
monitor sampling voltage and current and then comparing
these measurements to the threshold values set by the various
limit commands. A warning has no effect on the hot-swap
controller, but it may generate an SMBAlert on one or both of
the GPOx/ALERTx output pins.
When a status bit is set, it always means that the status condition—
fault or warning—is active or was active at some point in the past.
When a fault or warning bit is set, it is latched until it is explicitly
cleared using either the OPERATION or the CLEAR_FAULTS
command. Some other status bits are live, that is, they always
reflect a status condition and are never latched.
STATUS_BYTE and STATUS_WORD Commands
The STATUS_BYTE and STATUS_WORD commands can
be used to obtain a snapshot of the overall part status. These
commands indicate whether it is necessary to read more
detailed information using the other status commands.
The low byte of the word returned by the STATUS_WORD
command is the same byte returned by the STATUS_BYTE
command. The high byte of the word returned by the
STATUS_WORD command provides a number of bits that can
be used to determine which of the other status commands
needs to be issued to obtain all active status bits.
STATUS_INPUT Command
The STATUS_INPUT command returns a number of bits
relating to voltage faults and warnings on the input supply.
GPO AND ALERT PIN SETUP COMMANDS
Two multipurpose pins are provided on the ADM1275-1: GPO1/
ALERT1/CONV and GPO2/ALERT2. One multi-purpose pin is
provided on the ADM1275-2 (GPO1/ALERT1/CONV), and on
the ADM1275-3 (GPO2/ALERT2).
The GPO1/ALERT1/CONV and GPO2/ALERT2 pins have two
output modes of operation. These pins can be configured independently over the PMBus as general-purpose digital outputs. They
can both be configured to generate an SMBAlert when one or more
fault/warning status bits become active in the PMBus status registers.
For an example of how to configure these pins to generate an
SMBAlert and how to respond and clear the condition, see the
Example Use of SMBUS Alert Response Address section.
The GPO1/ALERT1/CONV pin can also be configured as an
input (CONV) to drive the power monitor in single-shot run
mode and to control when a power monitor ADC sampling
cycle begins. This function can be used to synchronize sampling
across multiple ADM1275 devices, if required.
ALERT1_CONFIG and ALERT2_CONFIG Commands
Using combinations of bit masks, the ALERT1_CONFIG and
ALERT2_CONFIG commands can be used to select the status
bits that, when set, generate an SMBAlert signal to a processor.
They can also be used to set a GPO mode on the pin, so that it
is under software control. If this mode is set, the SMBAlert
masking bits are ignored.
On the ADM1275-1, one of the inputs can also be configured
as a hardware-based convert control signal. If this mode is set,
the GPO and SMBAlert masking bits are ignored.
STATUS_VOUT Command
The STATUS_VOUT command returns a number of bits
relating to voltage faults and warnings on the output supply.
This command is not available on the ADM1275-2.
POWER MONITOR COMMANDS
The ADM1275 provides a high accuracy, 12-bit current and
voltage power monitor. The power monitor can be configured
in a number of different modes of operation and can run in
either continuous mode or single-shot mode with a number
of different sample averaging options.
STATUS_IOUT Command
The STATUS_IOUT command returns a number of bits
relating to current faults and warnings on the output supply.
STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC Command
The STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command is a standard PMBus
command, but the contents of the byte returned is specific to
the ADM1275.
CLEAR_FAULTS Command
The CLEAR_FAULTS command is used to clear fault and
warnings bits when they are set. Fault and warnings bits are
latched when they are set. In this way, a host can read the bits
any time after the fault or warning condition occurs and
determine which problem actually occurred.
If the CLEAR_FAULTS command is issued and the fault or
warning condition is no longer active, the status bit is cleared.
If the condition is still active—for example, if an input voltage
is below the undervoltage threshold of the UV pin—the
CLEAR_FAULTS command attempts to clear the status bit, but
that status bit is immediately set again.
PMON_CONFIG Command
The power monitor can run in a number of different modes with
different input voltage range settings. The PMON_CONFIG
command is used to set up the power monitor.
The settings that can be configured are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Single-shot or continuous sampling
VIN or VOUT sampling (no VOUT sampling for the
ADM1275-2)
Voltage input range
Current and voltage sample averaging
Modifying the power monitor settings while the power monitor
is sampling is not supported. The power monitor must be
stopped before any of these settings are changed to ensure
correct operation and avoid any potential spurious data and
status alerts being generated.

convert mode, an external hardware signal can be used to
take this pin high, triggering the single-shot sampling of
one or more parts together.
READ_VIN, READ_VOUT, and READ_IOUT Commands
The ADM1275 power monitor measures the voltage developed
across the sense resistor to provide a current measurement. On
the ADM1275-1 and ADM1275-3, the user can choose to
measure either the input voltage from the SENSE+ pin or the
output voltage present on the VOUT pin. The ADM1275-2 can
measure only the input voltage from the SENSE+ pin.
PEAK_IOUT, PEAK_VIN, and PEAK_VOUT Commands
In addition to the standard PMBus commands for reading
voltage and current, the ADM1275 provides commands that
can report the maximum peak voltage or current sample since
the peak value was last cleared.
The peak values are updated only after the power monitor has
sampled and averaged the current and voltage measurements.
Individual peak values are cleared by writing a 0 value with the
corresponding command.
WARNING LIMIT SETUP COMMANDS
The ADM1275 power monitor can monitor a number of different warning conditions simultaneously and report any current
or voltage values that exceed the user-defined thresholds using
the status commands.
All comparisons performed by the power monitor require the
measured voltage or current value to be strictly greater or less
than the threshold value.
At power-up, all threshold limits are set to either minimum
scale (for undervoltage or undercurrent conditions) or to
maximum scale (for overvoltage or overcurrent conditions).
This effectively disables the generation of any status warnings
by default; warning bits are not set in the status registers until
the user explicitly sets the threshold values.
VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT and VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT
Commands
The VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT and VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT
commands are used to set the OV and UV thresholds on the
input voltage, as measured at the SENSE+ pin.
VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT and VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT
Commands
The VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT and VOUT_UV_WARN_
LIMIT commands are used to set the OV and UV thresholds
The IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT command is used to set the OC
threshold for the current flowing through the sense resistor.
IOUT_WARN2_LIMIT Command
The IOUT_WARN2_LIMIT command provides a second current
warning threshold that can be programmed. The polarity of this
warning can be set to overcurrent or undercurrent using the
DEVICE_CONFIG command.
PMBus DIRECT FORMAT CONVERSION
The ADM1275 uses the PMBus direct format to represent realworld quantities such as voltage and current values. A direct
format number takes the form of a 2-byte, twos complement,
binary integer value.
It is possible to convert between direct format value and realworld quantities using the following equations. Equation 1
converts from real-world quantities to PMBus direct values,
and Equation 2 converts PMBus direct format values to realworld values.
Y = (mX + b) × 10R
(1)
X = 1/m × (Y × 10 − b)
(2)
−R
where:
Y is the value in PMBus direct format.
X is the real-world value.
m is the slope coefficient, a 2-byte, twos complement integer.
b is the offset, a 2-byte, twos complement integer.
R is a scaling exponent, a 1-byte, twos complement integer.
The same equations are used for voltage and current conversions,
the only difference being the values of the m, b, and R coefficients
that are used.
Table 9 lists all the coefficients required for the ADM1275. The
current coefficients shown are dependent on the value of the
external sense resistor used in a given application. This means
that an additional calculation must be performed to take the
sense resistor value into account to obtain the coefficients for
a specific sense resistor value.
The sense resistor value used in the calculations to obtain the
coefficients is expressed in milliohms. The m coefficients are
defined as 2-byte twos complement numbers in the PMBus
standard, therefore the maximum positive value that can be
represented is 32767. If the m value is greater than that, and is
to be stored in PMBus standard form, then the m coefficients
should be divided by 10, and the R coefficient increased by a
value of 1. For example, if on the 20 V range, a 10 milliohm
sense resistor is used, the m coefficient is 6043, and the R
coefficient is −1.

To convert an ADC code to current in amperes, the following
formulas can be used:
IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT requires a current-limit value
expressed in direct format.
VSENSE = LSB25mV × (IADC − 2048)
If the required current limit is 10 A, and the sense resistor is
2 mΩ, then the first step is to determine the voltage coefficient.
This is simply m = 807 × 2, giving 1614.
Using Equation 1 and expressing X, in units of Amps
Y = ((1614 × 10) + 20,475) × 10−1
Y = 3661.5 = 3662 (rounded up to integer form)
Writing a value of 3662 with the IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT
command sets an overcurrent warning at 10 A.
Example 2
The READ_IOUT command returns a direct format value of
3339 representing the current flowing through a sense resistor
of 1 mΩ.
To convert this value to the current flowing, use Equation 2, with
m = 807 × 1.
X = 1/807 × (3339 × 101 − 20,475)
X = 16.00 A
This means that when READ_IOUT returns a value of 3339,
16.00 A is flowing in the sense resistor.

To convert a current in amperes to a 12-bit value, the following

The direct format voltage and current values returned by the
READ_VIN, READ_VOUT, READ_IOUT commands, and
the corresponding peak versions, are actually the data output
directly by the ADM1275 ADC. As the voltages and currents
are really a 12-bit ADC output code, they can also be converted
to real-world values with knowledge of the size of the LSB on
the ADC.
The m, b, R coefficients defined for the PMBus conversion are
required to be whole integers by the standard, and have therefore
been rounded-off slightly. Using this alternative method, with
the exact LSB values, can provide slightly more accurate
numerical conversions.
ICODE = 2048 + (VSENSE/LSB25mV)
where:
VSENSE = (VSENSE+) − (VSENSE−).
IA is the current value in amperes.
RSENSE is the value of the sense resistor in milliohms.

To convert a voltage to a 12-bit value, the following formula can

ADM1275 ALERT PIN BEHAVIOR
The ADM1275 provides a very flexible alert system, whereby
one or more fault/warning conditions can be indicated to an
external device.
FAULTS AND WARNINGS
A PMBus fault on the ADM1275 is always generated due to an
analog event and causes a change in state in the hot-swap output,
turning it off. The three defined fault sources are as follows:
•
•
•
Undervoltage (UV) event detected on the UV pin
Overvoltage (OV) event detected on the OV pin
Overcurrent (OC) event that causes a hot-swap timeout
Faults are continuously monitored, and, as long as power is
applied to the device, they cannot be disabled. When a fault
occurs, a corresponding status bit is set in one or more
STATUS_xxx registers.
A warning is less severe than a fault and never causes a change
in the state of the hot-swap controller. The eight sources of a
warning are defined as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Any one or more of the faults and warnings listed in the Faults
and Warnings section can be enabled and cause an alert, making
the corresponding GPOx/ALERTx pin active. By default, the
active state of a GPOx/ALERTx pin is low.
For example, to use GPO1/ALERT1/CONV to monitor the
VOUT UV warning from the ADC, the followings steps must
be performed:
A value of 1 in a status register bit field always indicates a fault
or warning condition. Fault and warning bits in the status
registers are latched when set to 1. To clear a latched bit to 0—
provided that the fault condition is no longer active—use the
CLEAR_FAULTS command or use the OPERATION command
to turn the hot-swap output off and then on again.
•
•
By default at power-up, the open-drain GPOx/ALERTx outputs
are high impedance, so the pins can be pulled high through
resistors. No faults or warnings are enabled on the GPO1/
ALERT1/CONV pin at power-up; the user must explicitly enable
the faults or warnings to be monitored. The FET health bad
warning is active by default on the GPO2/ALERT2 pin at
power-up.

2.
If a VOUT sample is taken that is below the configured
VOUT UV value, the GPO1/ALERT1/CONV pin is taken
low, signaling an interrupt to a processor.
HANDLING/CLEARING AN ALERT
When faults/warnings are configured on the GPOx/ALERTx pins,
the pins become active to signal an interrupt to the processor.
(These pins are active low, unless inversion is enabled.) The
GPOx/ALERTx signal functions as an SMBAlert.
Note that the GPOx/ALERTx pins can become active independently of each other, but they are always made inactive together.
A processor can respond to the interrupt in one of two basic ways:
•
GENERATING AN ALERT
A host device can periodically poll the ADM1275 using the
status commands to determine whether a fault/warning is
active. However, this polling is very inefficient in terms of
software and processor resources. The ADM1275 has
GPOx/ALERTx output pins that can be used to generate
interrupts to a host processor.
•
•
•
Set a threshold level with the VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT
command.
Start the power monitor sampling on VOUT.
•

ADM1275-2: GPO1/ALERT1/CONV
ADM1275-3: GPO2/ALERT2
Rev. D | Page 34 of 48
If there is only one device on the bus, the processor can
simply read the status bytes and issue a CLEAR_FAULTS
command to clear all the status bits, which causes the
deassertion of the GPOx/ALERTx line. If there is a persistent
fault—for example, an undervoltage on the input—the status
bits remain set after the CLEAR_FAULTS command is
executed because the fault has not been removed. However,
the GPOx/ALERTx line is not pulled low unless a new fault/
warning becomes active. If the cause of the SMBAlert is a
power monitor generated warning and the power monitor
is running continuously, the next sample generates a new
SMBAlert after the CLEAR_FAULTS command is issued.
If there are several devices on the bus, the processor can
issue an SMBus alert response address command to find
out which device asserted the SMBAlert line. The
processor can read the status bytes from that device and
issue a CLEAR_FAULTS command.
Data Sheet
ADM1275
SMBus ALERT RESPONSE ADDRESS
The SMBus alert response address (ARA) is a special address
that can be used by the bus host to locate any devices that need
to talk to it. A host typically uses a hardware interrupt pin to
monitor the SMBus ALERT pins of a number of devices. When
the host interrupt occurs, the host issues a message on the bus
using the SMBus receive byte or receive byte with PEC protocol.
The special address used by the host is 0x0C. Any devices that
have an SMBAlert signal return their own 7-bit address as the
seven MSBs of the data byte. The LSB value is not used and can
be either 1 or 0. The host reads the device address from the
received data byte and proceeds to handle the alert condition.
More than one device may have an active SMBAlert signal and
attempt to communicate with the host. In this case, the device
with the lowest address dominates the bus and succeeds in
transmitting its address to the host. The device that succeeds
disables its SMBus alert signal. If the host sees that the SMBus
alert signal is still low, it continues to read addresses until all
devices that need to talk to it have successfully transmitted their
addresses.
EXAMPLE USE OF SMBus ALERT RESPONSE
ADDRESS
The full sequence of steps that occurs when an SMBAlert is
generated and cleared is as follows:

Rev. D | Page 35 of 48
A fault or warning is enabled using the ALERT1_CONFIG
command, and the corresponding status bit for the fault or
warning goes from 0 to 1, indicating that the fault/warning
has just become active.
The GPOx/ALERTx pin becomes active (low) to signal that
an SMBAlert is active.
The host processor issues an SMBus alert response address
to determine which device has an active alert.
If there are no other active alerts from devices with lower
I2C addresses, this device makes the GPOx/ALERTx pin
inactive (high) during the NACK bit period after it sends
its address to the host processor.
If the GPOx/ALERTx pin stays low, the host processor must
continue to issue SMBus alert response address commands
to devices to find out the addresses of all devices whose
status it must check.
The ADM1275 continues to operate with the GPOx/ALERTx
pin inactive and the contents of the status bytes unchanged
until the host reads the status bytes and clears them, or until
a new fault occurs. That is, if a status bit for a fault/warning
that is enabled on the GPOx/ALERTx pin and that was not
already active (equal to 1) goes from 0 to 1, a new alert is
generated, causing the GPOx/ALERTx pin to become
active again.
