PRODUCTION DATA.
This register reflects the ALERT status for the analog input channels.
7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
ALERT_AIN7 | ALERT_AIN6 | ALERT_AIN5 | ALERT_AIN4 | ALERT_AIN3 | ALERT_AIN2 | ALERT_AIN1 | ALERT_AIN0 |
R-0b | R-0b | R-0b | R-0b | R-0b | R-0b | R-0b | R-0b |
Bit | Field | Type | Reset | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
7 | ALERT_AIN7 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN7 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
6 | ALERT_AIN6 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN6 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
5 | ALERT_AIN5 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN5 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
4 | ALERT_AIN4 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN4 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
3 | ALERT_AIN3 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN3 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
2 | ALERT_AIN2 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN2 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
1 | ALERT_AIN1 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN1 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
0 | ALERT_AIN0 | R | 0b | This bit indicates if either the high or low threshold for AIN0 has been exceeded.
0b = Neither the high are low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
If the ALERT bit for a particular channel is set in the ALERT_STATUS register, then the ALERT bit can be cleared by writing 1b to the corresponding bit in the ALERT_HI_STATUS or ALERT_LO_STATUS registers. If both the high and low thresholds have been exceeded for a particular analog input channel, then the corresponding ALERT bit in both the ALERT_HI_STATUS or ALERT_LO_STATUS registers must be set to 1b to clear the ALERT bit.
