PRODUCTION DATA.
The Threshold Monitoring Mode automatically scans the input voltage on the input channel(s) and generates a signal when the programmable high or low threshold values are crossed. This mode is useful for applications where the output of the sensor needs to be continuously monitored and action only taken when the sensor output deviates outside of an acceptable range. Applications that could take advantage of this type of functionality include wireless sensor nodes, environmental sensors, smoke and heat detectors, motion detectors, and so on.
In this mode, the data buffer can be configured to store the conversion results of the ADC in two different ways.
