PRODUCTION DATA
The reference monitor detects a low or missing reference voltage. As illustrated in Figure 9-5, when the differential reference voltage is ≤ 0.4 V (typical), the REFALM bit is set in the STATUS0 register. The alarm is read-only and resets at the next conversion after the fault condition is cleared. To implement the reference monitor, place a 100-kΩ resistor across the reference inputs. If either positive or negative reference inputs become disconnected, the reference inputs are differentially biased to 0 V, thereby triggering the low reference alarm. Poll bit 3 (REFALM) of the STATUS0 register to determine if the reference alarm has triggered.
