7.4.2 INTB Pin Modes

The INTB pin is a configurable output pin which can be used to drive an interrupt on an MCU. This mode is selected by setting INTB_MODE. The LDC1001 provides three different modes on INTB pin:

  1. Comparator Mode
  2. Wake-Up Mode
  3. DRDY Mode

LDC1001 has a built-in High and Low trigger threshold which registers as a comparator with programmable hysteresis or a special mode which can be used to wake up an MCU.
