PRODUCTION DATA
The device provides out-of-range detection for four individual analog inputs (CH0, CH1, CH2, and CH3), as shown in Figure 7-13. When the measurement is out-of-range, the corresponding alarm bit in the status register is set to 1 to flag the out-of-range condition. The value in the high-threshold register defines the upper bound threshold of the Nth analog input, while the value in the low-threshold register defines the lower bound. These two bounds specify a window for the out-of-range detection.
The device also has high-limit or low-limit detection for the temperature sensors (D1, D2, and LT), as shown in Figure 7-14. To implement single, upper-bound threshold detection for analog input CHn, the host processor can set the upper-bound threshold to the desired value and the lower-bound threshold to the default value. For lower-bound threshold detection, the host processor can set the lower-bound threshold to the desired value and the upper-bound threshold to the default value. Note that the value of the high-threshold register must not be less than the value of the low-threshold register; otherwise, ALR-n is always set to 1 and the alarm indicator is always active. Each temperature sensor has two alarm bits: High-ALR (high-limit alarm) and Low-ALR (low-limit alarm).
