PRODUCTION DATA
The AFEx8101 provide independent out-of-range detection for each of the ADC inputs. Figure 7-13 shows the out-of-range detection block. When the measurement is out of range, the corresponding alarm bit is set to flag the out-of-range condition.
An alarm event is only registered when the monitored signal is out of range for N number of consecutive conversions, where N is configured in the ADC_CFG.FLT_CNT false alarm register settings. If the monitored signal returns to the normal range before N consecutive conversions, an alarm event is not issued.
If an ADC input signal is out of range and the alarm is enabled, then the corresponding alarm bit is set to 1. However, the alarm condition is cleared only when the conversion result returns to a value less than the high-limit register setting and greater than the low-limit register setting by the number of codes specified by the hysteresis setting (see Figure 7-14). The hysteresis is a programmable value between 0 LSB to 127 LSB in the ADC_CFG.HYST register.
