STATUS_CML
The STATUS_CML command returns the summary of the communication, memory and logic faults or warnings which 
have occurred, as shown in the following table:
STATUS_CML Data Contents
BIT(S) SYMBOL
OPERATION
b[7]
Status_cml_cmd_fault
Illegal or unsupported command fault has occurred.
b[6]
Status_cml_data_fault
Illegal or unsupported data received.
b[5]
Status_cml_pec_fault
A PEC fault has occurred. Note: PEC checking is always active in the LTC2977. Any extra byte received before a 
STOP will set Status_cml_pec_fault unless the extra byte is a matching PEC byte.
b[4]
Status_cml_memory_fault
A fault has occurred in the EEPROM.
b[3]
Status_cml_processor_fault Not supported, always returns 0.
b[2]
Reserved
Reserved, always returns 0.
b[1]
Status_cml_pmbus_fault
A communication fault other than ones listed in this table has occurred.  This is a catch all category for illegally 
formed I
2
C/SMBus commands (Example: An address byte with read =1 received immediately after a START).
b[0]
Status_cml_unknown_fault
Not supported, always returns 0.
STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC
The STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command returns manufacturer specific status flags. Bits marked CHANNEL=All are 
not paged. Bits marked STICKY=Yes stay set until a CLEAR_FAULTS is issued or the channel is commanded on by 
the user. Bits marked ALERT=Yes pull ALERTB low when the bit is set. Bits marked OFF=Yes indicate that the event 
can be configured elsewhere to turn the channel off. See MFR_STATUS_2 on page 
 for additional bits related to 
manufacturer specific status.
