IH1 and IH2 (Read/Write)
Write to Channel 1 and Channel 2 High-Current-
Threshold registers by sending the appropriate write
command byte followed by data bits D15–D0 (see
Table 5). Bits D15–D12 are don’t care. Read channel 1
and channel 2 high-current thresholds by sending the
appropriate read command byte. Channel 1 and
Channel 2 Current-Threshold registers are compared to
ADC readings at PGAOUT1 and PGAOUT2. Use the
following equation to find the required threshold code
for a specified threshold current:
where I
DRAIN
is the current threshold in amperes,
R
SENSE
is the sense resistor, Av
PGA
is the voltage gain
of the PGA, V
REFADC
is the ADC reference voltage, and
I
THRESH
is the resulting threshold register value
in decimal.
IL1 and IL2 (Read/Write)
Write to Channel 1 and Channel 2 Low-Current-
Threshold registers by sending the appropriate write
command byte followed by data bits D15–D0 (see
Table 6). Bits D15–D12 are don’t care. Read channel 1
and channel 2 low-current thresholds by sending the
appropriate read command byte. Channel 1 and
Channel 2 Low-Current Threshold registers are com-
pared to ADC readings at PGAOUT1 and PGAOUT2.
