PRODUCTION DATA
Configurable interrupt signals notify the MCU when a system anomaly occurs. The interrupt signal indicates the STATUS1 register, which has bits that latch high when reaching various condition limits such as temperature or voltage. Each of the bits in the STATUS1 register can be independently configured to send an interrupt signal by setting the MASK register bit corresponding to each STATUS1 bit. The GPIO bits must be set to 0x2 to output interrupt signals through the GPIO pin, and the STATUS_INT bit must be set to 1 to output interrupt signals through the INT_MCU pin. By connecting the GPIO or INT_MCU pin to the microcontroller, the MCU can be immediately notified when a STATUS1 bit changes instead of having to repeatedly read the STATUS1 register. After the device sends the interrupt signal, the signal remains high until the STATUS1 register is read, at which point the fault clears if the error condition is removed.
Under some conditions the INT_MCU pin has other functions. If INT_EN = 1 and INT_DIR = 0, the INT_MCU pin also outputs the INT_UNIT pin status. If INT_EN = 1 and INT_DIR = 1, the INT_MCU pin becomes an input to control the INT_UNIT driver. See Section 8.3.7 for more information.
