PRODUCTION DATA
This register reflects the ALERT status for the analog input channels.
7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |

Bit | Field | Type | Reset | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
7 | ALERT_AIN7 | R | 0b | These bits indicate if
either the high or low threshold for the respective analog input 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 | |
5 | ALERT_AIN5 | R | 0b | |
4 | ALERT_AIN4 | R | 0b | |
3 | ALERT_AIN3 | R | 0b | |
2 | ALERT_AIN2 | R | 0b | |
1 | ALERT_AIN1 | R | 0b | |
0 | ALERT_AIN0 | R | 0b |
If the ALERT bit for a particular channel is set in the ALERT_STATUS register, then the ALERT bit is 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 make sure the corresponding ALERT bit in both the ALERT_HI_STATUS or ALERT_LO_STATUS registers is set to 1b to clear the ALERT bit.
