7.3.5.2 Magnetic Switch Mode

With ALERT_MODE set at 1b, the ALERT output is configured as a magnetic switch. One or multiple magnetic channels can be selected in the ALERT_CONFIG register. The magnetic switch thresholds are determined by the *_THRX_CONFIG register bits setting. If the measured magnetic field is greater than *_HI_THRESHOLD, or smaller than *_LO_THRESHOLD, the ALERT output will assert low. Figure 7-3 shows the magnetic switch function using the X-axis magnetic field as an example.
