DESCRIPTION
Reset Timer Setting. Defines the reset time-out threshold. Reset
time-out is 65ms when value is 1, reset time-out is 260ms when
value is 0. See nRSTO Output section for more information.

TRST
R/W
SYSLEV Mode Select. Defines the response to the SYSLEV
voltage detector, 1: Generate an interrupt when VVSYS falls below
the programmed SYSLEV threshold, 0: automatic shutdown
when VVSYS falls below the programmed SYSLEV threshold.
[6] nSYSMODE
R/W
System Voltage Level Interrupt Mask. SYSLEV interrupt is
masked by default, set to 1 to unmask this interrupt. See the
Programmable System Voltage Monitor section for more
information

[5] nSYSLEVMSK R/W
System Voltage Status. Value is 1 when VVSYS is lower than the
SYSLEV voltage threshold, value is 0 when VVSYS is higher than
the system voltage detection threshold.
[4]
nSYSSTAT
R
System Voltage Detect Threshold. Defines the SYSLEV voltage
threshold. See the Programmable System Voltage Monitor
section for more information.

Force-On bit for REG1. Set bit to 1 before entering Hibernate
mode to keep REG1 ON during Hibernate even when PWRHLD
is de-asserted. Clear bit to 0 after waking from Hibernate mode.

Reserved.
Scratchpad Bits. Non-functional bits, maybe be used by user to
store system status information. Volatile bits, which are cleared
when system voltage falls below UVLO threshold.
[3:2] SCRATCH
Hibernate Ready Flag. Set bit to 1 before entering
Hibernate mode, then read this bit during enable sequence

HBRDY
R/W to identify system status: if bit value is 1 the system is
waking from Hibernate mode, if bit value is 0 the system is
waking from a disabled state.

Regulator Phase Control. Set bit to 1 for the regulator to operate
180° out of phase with the oscillator, clear bit to 0 for the
regulator to operate in phase with the oscillator.
PHASE
Regulator Mode Select. Set bit to 1 for fixed-frequency PWM
under all load conditions, clear bit to 0 to transit to power-savings
mode under light-load conditions.
