Table 8. Command Byte Definitions
The DATA field in the single Data Transfer contains one or
several Command Bytes. The Command Byte identifies the
kind of operation required by the master to be performed and
has two fields, as illustrated in Figure 23:

24. The Watchdog timer is turned ON automatically after
receiving any other valid command byte changing watchdog

Refer to Table 8, page 27, which summarizes the value

Table 8. Command Byte Definitions
Security in Writing Commands
To improve the security level, a so-called first command is
defined to initiate each write communications. The first
command identifies the operation, which is executed by the
following Command Byte.

A first command has the address field equal to the related
operation one, followed by a null value field (all zeros).
Table 9 summarizes first command definitions. The master
sends the first command before the Command Byte for the
intended operation.

VOLTAGE MARGINING OPERATION
After starting the communication in Writing mode, the
master sends the first command followed by the specific
Command Byte to set the required voltage margining for
either the LDO or the switcher (see Figure 24). To achieve a
simultaneous set for both LDO and switcher, two specific
commands must be issued in sequence after the first
command, one for each supply.
