SetVID Decay

The SetVID_​Decay command is the slowest of the DVID transitions. It is only used for VID down transitions. The VR does not control the slew rate, the output voltage declines with the output load current only.

The SetVID_​Decay command is preemptive, the VR interrupts its current processes and moves to the new VID. This command is used in the processor for package C6 entry, allowing capacitor discharge by the leakage, thus saving energy. This command is only used in VID down direction in the processor package C6 entry.
