PRODUCTION DATA
This read-only register consists of four ALARM status bits (CRC-FLT, WD-FLT, I-FLT, and T-FLT) and the SR-ON bit that shows the slew rate status, as shown in Table 8-18.
DATA BIT(S) | NAME | DEFAULT | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|---|
DB15:DB5 | Reserved | 000 0000 0000 | Reserved. Reading these bits returns 0. |
DB4 | CRC-FLT | 0 | Bit = 1 indicates CRC error on SPI
frame. Bit = 0 indicates normal operation. |
DB3 | WD-FLT | 0 | Bit = 1 indicates watchdog timer
timeout. Bit = 0 indicates normal operation. |
DB2 | I-FLT | 0 | Bit = 1 indicates an open circuit or
a compliance voltage violation in IOUT loading. Bit = 0 indicates IOUT load is at normal condition. |
DB1 | SR-ON | 0 | Bit = 1 when DAC code is slewing as
determined by SRCLK and SRSTEP. Bit = 0 when DAC code is not slewing. |
DB0 | T-FLT | 0 | Bit = 1 indicates die temperature is
over 142°C. Bit = 0 indicates die temperature is not over 142°C. |
These devices continuously monitor the current output and die temperature. When an alarm occurs, the corresponding ALARM status bit is set (1). Whenever an ALARM status bit is set, it remains set until the event that caused it is resolved. The ALARM bit can only be cleared by performing a software reset, a power-on reset (by cycling power), or by having the error condition resolved. These bits are reasserted if the alarm condition continues to exist in the next monitoring cycle.
The ALARM bit goes to 0 when the error condition is resolved.
