TPS53688. For the others, for some I can't even determine if
they exist in the first place (eg SN1906016, XPDE12250C) or how
they would differ from other variants (eg XPDE12284C vs.
XPDE12284A).
And why would they all use the same bit map in the VOUT_MODE
register, the same number of PMBus pages (phases), and the same
attributes
in each page ?

Hi Guenter,

Thank you for reply.

On our new system we have device XPDE12284C equipped.
I tested this device.

Sounds good, but did you also make sure that all chips have the
same number of pages (phases), the same set of commands as the TI
chip, and support the same bit settings in VOUT_MODE ? It seems a
bit unlikely that TI's register definitions would make it into an Infineon
chip.

Also, what about the SN1906016 ? I don't find that anywhere,
except in one place where it is listed as MCU from TI.

I'll drop SN1906016.
Datasheet has a title Dual channel DCAP+ multiphase controllers:
TPS53688, SN1906016.
But maybe it's some custom device (anyway I'll try to check it with TI).


Or maybe SN1906016 means something else. Unless we have explicit
confirmation that the chip exists (or will exist) we should not add it to the
list.


Infineon datasheet refers all these device as XDPE122xxC family
and it doesn't specify any differences in register map between these
devices.

That is a bit vague, especially when it includes devices which
return zero results with Google searches.

"A" vs. "C" may distinguish automotive vs. commercial; the "A"
device is listed under automotive. If the command set is the
same, I don't really want the "c" in the id.

Got feedback from Infineon guys.
No need 'C' at the end, as you wrote.
All XDPE12250, XDPE12254, XDPE12283, XDPE12284, XDPE12286 are
treated in the same way:
same pages, same VOUT_MODE, VOUT_READ, etcetera.


And same as TI, including VOUT_MODE ? Also, did they confirm that
the unpublished chips do or will actually exist ?

Hi Gunther,

According to the input I got from Infineon guys, these device are
already available for the customers, like XPDE12284, which is equipped
on new Mellanox 400Gx32 Ethernet system, on which we are working now.

But I'll re-check if all these devices are available today to be on
the safe Side.

Regarding VOUT modes:
TPS53679 uses modes - 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x05, 0x07
TPS53688 uses modes - 0x04, 0x07
XDPE122xxx uses modes - 0x01, 0x02, 0x03 and additionally 0x10, which
is for 6.25mV VID table (AMD application).


The problem is that PMBus does not define VID mode values. If it did, we could
add vrm version detection detection to the pmbus core. 0x01 for
TPS53679 _may_ be the same as 0x01 for XDPE122xxx, or maybe not.
There is no way to be sure without datasheets.

I didn't add support for mode 0x10 in the patch.

The VID table for the AMD application is different from the Intel VID
tables.

A value of 0x0 corresponds to the highest output voltage of 1.55V.
The voltage is reduced in 6.25mV steps down to the value 0xd8, which
corresponds to 0.2V.

The formula for the calculation of the output voltage would be:

	case DON’T_NOW_HOW_TO_CALL_IT:

Doesn't the datasheet have something to say ?

It just specifies VID table format as
0 = 10mV VID table
1 = 5mv VID table
2 = 6.25mv VID table
3 = 10mV VID table (200mV offset)
calculation as:
Range: 0 = Off, 1 (250mV) to 255 (1520mV); vid_table=0 (10mV)
Range: 0 = Off, 1 (500mV) to 255 (3040mV); vid_table=1 (5mV)
Range: 0 = Off, 1 (200mV) to 255 (2740mV); vid_table=3 (10mV)
Range: 0 = (1550mV) to 247 (6.25mV); 248~255 = Off; vid_table=2 (6.25mV)

And VOUT_MODE[4:0] as:
00001 = 5mV VID table (VR12)
00010 = 10mV VID table (VR12.5 or VR13)
00011 = 10mV VID table (IMVP9)
10000 = 6.25mV VID table (AMD application)
others = illegal setting - PMBus write is acked, but no write occurs


		if (val >= 0x00 && val <= 0xd8)
               			rv = 1550 – (val *6.25);

I doubled check it.

Do you think it should added as well?

I am quite neutral on that. I am much more concerned with the assumption that
the mode values have the same meaning for chips from different vendors. In this
case, what do we do if TI starts shipping a chip in the TPS53xxx series which uses
mode 0x10 for something else ?

Overall I'd rather play safe and add a separate driver for the Infineon chips.

I see.

We actually waned to have ability of transparent replacement of TI and Infineon
devices within the same type of system.


That should not be a problem as long as you instantiate them differently.
After all, the relevant information _should_ be available in ACPI tables.
Otherwise you'd have to claim that a chip is, say, tps53688, while it is
really an Infineon chip. And that is never a good idea.

Maybe it's possible to have 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x07 as a basic
set and support for example 0x10 according to specific device id?


Unfortunately not, because there is no standard defining those. TI might
at some point decide to sell a new chip where 0x03 means something completely
different. On top of that, I already know that at least some of the TI chips
of this series have more than two pages. Unfortunately, the information I have
is vague (no datasheet again). That is another reason for avoiding pollution
of the tps driver with non-TI chip support.

Thanks,
Guenter
