SN74LVC1G32-Q2 is a 2-input positive OR gate designed for 1.65- to 5.5V VCC operation. It is designed to perform Boolean OR function on the ALERT1 and ALERT2 pins. The OR gate is tied to the enable pin of LM74810, allowing the device to turn off when both ALERT1 and ALERT2 are pulled low from detecting an overcurrent conditions from their comparators. The configuration allows flexibility by using both ALERT1 and ALERT2 comparator output pins which have independent overcurrent trigger levels as well as independent response times as shown in Current Sensing Amplifier Design Overview section. Comparator 2 can be set to trigger at a lower level relatively to comparator 1, allowing an MCU to read ALERT1 to serve as a sustained high current warning. Comparator 1 can be set to a higher trigger level, pulling low during an overcurrent condition.
