8.3.8 ALARM Pin

The DAC8771 contains an ALARM pin. When one or more of following events occur, the ALARM pin is pulled low:

  1. The load on the IOUT pin is in open circuit (>500µsec); or
  2. The voltage at IOUT, when enabled, reaches a level where the accuracy of the output current would be compromised (>500µsec). This condition is detected by monitoring internal voltage levels of the IOUT circuitry and will typically be below the specified compliance voltage minimum of 3V; or
  3. The die temperature has exceeded +150°C; or
  4. The SPI watchdog timer exceeded the timeout period (if enabled); or
  5. The SPI frame error check (CRC) encountered an error (if enabled)
  6. A short circuit current limit is reached (>500µsec) on any VOUT when enabled in voltage output mode
  7. The Buck-Boost converter has reached the maximum output voltage (set by bit HSCLMP Table 5 address 0x0E)

When connecting the ALARM pins of multiple DAC8771 devices together, forming a wired-AND function, the host processor should read the status register of each device to know all the fault conditions that are present.

The ALARM pin continuously monitors the above mentioned conditions and returns to open drain condition if the alarm condition is removed (non-latched behavior - default). For condition (1) mentioned above and Buck-Boost converter used to power the DAC, the ALARM pin if pulled low due to the alarm condition will remain pulled low even after the alarm condition is removed (latched behavior). In this condition the alarm pin can be reset by

  1. Resetting the corresponding fault bits in the status register (address 0x0B Table 5); or
  2. Performing software reset (write to address 0x01 Table 5); or
  3. Toggling hardware reset pin; or
  4. Performing power on reset

Note that if the alarm action bits are programmed to "10" (AC_IOC[1:0], the Buck-Boost converter and the current output amplifier are automatically disabled upon the event of open circuit on current output. In this case, the ALARM automatically resets to the default behavior (non-latched behavior).
