Summary of Supported PMBus Commands
This section outlines the PMBus command support for the EBDW020A0B bus converters. Each supported command is outlined in
order of increasing command codes with a quick reference table of all supported commands included at the end of the section.
Each command will have the following basic information.
Command Name [Code]

Additional information may be provided in tabular form or other format, if necessary.
OPERATION [0x01]
Command support: On/Off Immediate and Margins (Act on Fault). Soft off with sequencing not supported and Margins (Ignore
Fault) not supported. Therefore bits 6, 3, 2, 1 and 0 set as read only at factory defaults.
