6.3.3 Programmable Out-of-Range Alarms

The AFEx8201 are capable of continuously analyzing the supplies, external ADC inputs, DAC output voltage, reference, internal temperature, and other internal signals for normal operation.

Normal operation for the conversion results is established through the lower- and upper-threshold registers. When any of the monitored inputs are out of the specified range, the corresponding alarm bit in the alarm status registers is set.

The alarm bits in the alarm status registers are latched. The alarm bits are referred to as being latched because the alarm bits remain set until read by software. This design makes sure that out-of-limit events cannot be missed if the software is polling the device periodically. All bits are cleared when reading the alarm status registers, and all bits are reasserted if the out-of limit condition still exists on the next monitoring cycle. When the alarm event is cleared, the DAC is reloaded with the contents of the DAC active registers, which allows the DAC outputs to return to the previous operating point without any additional commands

All alarms can be used to generate a hardware interrupt signal on the ALARM pin; see also Section 6.3.3.1. In addition, Section 6.3.3.2 describes how the alarm action can be individually configured for each alarm.
