Diode 2 Limit Error) in addition to the diode fault bit. Disabling the enable bit for the diode will clear
both the fault bit and the error bit for that diode (see Note below).
This register is read only – a write to this register has no effect.
Note:
Clearing the individual enable bits:
1. An interrupt status bit will never change from a 0 to a 1 when the corresponding individual interrupt
enable bit is cleared (set to 0), regardless of whether the limits are violated during a measurement.
2. If the individual enable bit is cleared while the associated status bit is 1, the status bit will be
cleared when the associated reading register is updated. The reading registers only get updated
when the START bit is set to ‘1’. If the enable bit is cleared when the START bit is 0, the associated
interrupt status bit will not be cleared until the start bit is set to 1 and the associated reading register
is updated.

N/A
The VID register contains the values of EMC6D102 VID0-VID4 input pins. This register indicates the
status of the VID lines that interconnect the processor to the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM).
Software uses the information in this register to determine the voltage that the processor is designed
to operate at. With this information, software can then dynamically determine the correct values to
place in the Vccp Low Limit and Vccp High Limit registers.
