8.3.9 Interrupts

The interrupt registers in the device are organized in hierarchical fashion. The interrupts are grouped into the following categories:

BUCK ERROR

These interrupts indicate over-voltage (OV), under-voltage (UV), short-circuit (SC), residual voltage (SC) and over-current (ILIM) error conditions found on the BUCK regulators .

LDO ERROR

These interrupts indicate OV, UV, and SC error conditions found on the LDO regulators, as well as OV and UV error conditions found on the VCCA supply.

VMON ERROR

These interrupts indicate OV and UV error conditions found on the VCCA supply.

SEVERE ERROR

These errors indicate severe device error conditions, such as thermal shutdown, PFSM sequencing and execution error and pre-regulator over-voltage failure, which causes the device to trigger the PFSM to execute immediate shutdown of all digital outputs, external voltage rails and monitors, and proceed to the Safe Recovery State.

MODERATE ERROR

These interrupts provide warnings to the system to indicate detection of multiple WDOG Errors or ESM errors exceeding the allowed recovery count, detection of long press nPWRON button, SPMI communication error, register CRC error, BIST failure, or thermal reaching orderly shutdown level. These warning causes the device to trigger the PFSM to execute orderly shutdown of all digital outputs, external voltage rails and monitors, and proceed to the Safe Recovery State.⁽¹⁾

MISCELLANEOUS WARNING

These interrupts provide information to the system to indicate detection of WDOG or ESM errors, die temperature crossing thermal warning threshold, device passing BIST test, or external sync clock availability.

START-UP SOURCE

These interrupts provide information to the system on the mechanism which caused the device to start up, which includes FSD, RTC alarm or timer interrupts, the activation of the ENABLE pin or the nPRWON pin button detection.

GPIO DETECTION

These interrupts indicate the High/Rising-Edge or the Low/Falling-Edge detection at the GPIO1 through GPIO11 pins.

FSM ERROR INTERRUPT

These interrupts indicate the detection of an error which causes the device mission state changes.

All interrupts are logically combined on a single output pin, nINT (active low). The host processor can read the INT_TOP register to find the interrupt registers to find out the source of the interrupt, and write '1' to the corresponding interrupt register bit to clear the interrupt. This mechanism ensures when a new interrupt occurs while the nINT pin is still active, all of the corresponding interrupt register bits retain the interrupt source information until it is cleared by the host.

Any interrupt source can be masked by setting the corresponding mask register to '1'. When an interrupt is masked, the interrupt bit is not updated when the associated event occurs, the nINT line is not affected, and the event is not recorded. If an interrupt is masked after the event occurred, the interrupt register bit reflects the event until the bit is cleared. While the event is masked, the interrupt register bit is not over-written when a new event occurs.

Figure 8-15 shows the hierarchical structure of the interrupt registers according to the categories described above. The purpose of this register structure is to reduce the number of interrupt register read cycles the host has to perform in order to identify the source of the interrupt. Table 8-6 summarizes the trigger and the clearing mechanism for all of the interrupt signals. More detail descriptions of each interrupt registers can be found in Section 8.7.

(1) The results shown in this column are selected to meet functional safety assumptions and device specifications. The actual results can be configured differently in NVM memory. TI recommends reviewing of the system and device functional safety goal and documentation before deviating from these recommendations.

(2) Interrupt is generated during clock detector operation and in case clock is not available when clock detector is enabled.

(3) This event does not occur if RECOV_CNT_THR = 0, even though RECOV_CNT continues to accumulate and increase, and eventually saturates when it reaches the maximum count of 15.

(4) Due to a digital logic errata in the device, a write or read SPI command which coincide with the rising edge of the CS signal may not cause the COMM_FRM_ERR_INT interrupt.

(5) I2C1, I2C2, or SPI address error only occur in safety applications if the interface CRC feature is enabled, when both I2C1_SPI_CRC_EN and I2C2_CRC_EN are set to '1'.

1. The SEVERE ERROR and the MODERATE ERROR are handled in NVM memory but TI requires that the NVM pre-configurable finite state machine (PFSM) settings always follow this described error handling to meet device specifications.
