ADC Monitoring Commands
READ_VIN
This command returns the most recent ADC measured
value of the voltage measured at the V
READ_VIN Data Contents
READ_VOUT
This command returns the most recent ADC measured
value of the channel’s output voltage. When odd channels
are configured to measure current, the data contents have
a slightly modified meaning, as described in the second
table below.

OPERATION
V(Symbol) = Y • 2
where N = b[15:11] is a 5-bit two’s
complement integer and
Y = b[10:0] is an 11-bit two’s complement
integer
Units: V
Operation
V(Symbol) = Y • 2
where N = b[15:11] is a 5-bit two’s
complement integer and
Y = b[10:0] is an 11-bit two’s complement
integer
Units: mV
OPERATION
defined by VOUT_MODE:
V(Read_vout) = Y • 2
an unsigned integer and N = Vout_mode_
parameter is a 5-bit two’s complement
exponent that’s hardwired to –13 decimal.
Units: V.

READ_TEMPERATURE_1
This command returns the most recent ADC measured
value of junction temperature in °C as determined by the
LTC2978’s internal temperature sensor.
READ_TEMPERATURE_1 Data Contents
PMBUS_REVISION
The PMBUS_REVISION command register is read only and
reports the LTC2978 compliance to the PMBus standard
revision 1.1.
PMBUS_REVISION Data Contents
b[15:0] Read_temperature_1 [15:0] The data uses the linear format:

b[7:0] PMBus_rev
OPERATION
Reports the PMBus standard revision
compliance. This is hard-coded to ‘h11 for
revision 1.1.
OPERATION
Temp(Symbol) = Y • 2
Where N = b[15:11] is a 5-bit
two’s complement integer and
Y = b[10:0] is an 11-bit two’s
complement integer
Units: °C.
