4.2.3. STATUS_VOUT Command Description

The STATUS_VOUT command returns one byte of information, detailing the warning and failure conditions present on the output rail currently specified by the previously issued PAGE command. These status bits remain set until cleared, which is accomplished by writing a '1' to that bit position, or issuing the CLEAR_STATUS command.
Table 12.   STATUS_VOUT Command Description
Bit Name Description
7 VOUT_OV_FAULT An output overvoltage fault has occurred.
6 VOUT_OV_Warning The output is above the overvoltage warning level.
5 VOUT_UV_Warning The output is below the undervoltage warning level.
4 VOUT_UV_FAULT An output undervoltage fault has occurred.
