• Manufacturer: NSC [National Semiconductor]

Using the I2C port, the user will be able to control the duty
cycle of the PWM signal. Input and output voltage and current
offset can also be controlled using I2C on register 4. Control
registers are available for additional flexibility.
The thresholds iin_hi_th, iin_lo_th, iout_hi_th, iout_lo_th, in
reg5 are compared to the values read in by the ADC on the
AIIN and AIOUT pins. Scaling is set by the scaling of the ana-
log signal fed into AIIN and AIOUT. These 10–bit values
determine the entry and exit conditions for MPPT.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE SM72442
The SCL line is an input, the SDA line is bidirectional, and the
device address can be set by I2C0, I2C1 and I2C2 pins. Three
device address pins allow connection of up to 7 SM72444s to
the same I2C master. A pull-up resistor (10k) to a 5V supply
is used to set a bit 1 on the device address. Device addressing
for slaves are as follows:

The data registers in the SM72442 are selected by the Com-
mand Register. The Command Register is offset from base
address 0xE0. Each data register in the SM72442 falls into
one of two types of user accessibility:
1) Read only (Reg0, Reg1)
2) Write/Read same address (Reg3, Reg4, Reg5)
There are 7 bytes in each register (56 bits), and data must be
read and written in blocks of 7 bytes.

bytes are transmitted in Frames 4 through 11. Only the
100kHz data rate is supported. Please refer to “The I2C Bus
Specification” version 2.1 (Doc#: 939839340011) for more
documentation on the I2C bus.
