Indeed, although I think there is a difference between talking about the OPMODE field of the regulators control register (which the shift and mask refer to) and the semantics of the value that is written (whether is an mode or an enable pin). But yeah, I agree the Maxim documentation is confusing and confused me too before Mark explained to me that only two operating modes exist for this device. > >> >> > +/* >> > + * For some regulators this means: >> > + * - forcing low power mode. >> > + * - low power mode controlled by PWRREQ. >> > + */ >> > +#define MAX77686_OPMODE_LOWPOWER 0x2 >> >> Can you also add a #define MAX77686_LP_PWRREQ 0x2 and use each one when >> appropriate?
