Lo_thresh AND Hi_thresh REGISTERS
A
secondary conversion ready function of the
comparator output pin can be realized by setting the
Hi_thresh register MSB to '1' and the Lo_thresh
register MSB to ‘0’. However, in all other cases, the
Hi_thresh register must be larger than the Lo_thresh
register. The threshold register formats are shown in
Table 10. When set to RDY mode, the ALERT/RDY
pin outputs the OS bit when in single-shot mode and
pulses when in continuous conversion mode.
The upper and lower threshold values used by the
comparator are stored in two 16-bit registers. These
registers store values in the same format that the
output register displays values; that is, they are
stored in twos complement format. Because it is
implemented as
a
digital comparator, special
attention should be taken to readjust values
whenever PGA settings are changed.
