WRITE EXTENDED BYTE

In the write extended byte operation, the master device writes

to one of the three extended registers of the slave device, as

follows:

1.

The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.

2.

The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed by the

write bit (low).

3.

The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

4.

The master sends the register address byte. The MSB of

this byte is set to 1 to indicate an extended register write.

The two LSBs indicate which of the three extended

registers are to be written to (see Table 8). All other bits

should be set to 0.

5.

The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

6.

The master sends the command byte. The command byte

is identified by MSB = 0. MSB = 1 indicates an extended

register write.

7.

The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

8.

The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the

transaction.

EN_ADC_OC1

Enabled if a single ADC conversion on the I channel has exceeded the threshold set in the ALERT_TH

register.

EN_HS_ALERT

Enabled if the hot swap has either latched off or entered a cool down cycle because of an overcurrent

event.

3

0

EN_OFF_ALERT

Enables an alert if the HS operation is turned off by a transition that deasserts the ON pin or by an

operation that writes the SWOFF bit high.

CLEAR

Clears the ON_ALERT, HS_ALERT and ADC_ALERT status bits in the STATUS register. These may

immediately reset if the source of the alert has not been cleared or disabled with the other bits in this

register. This bit self-clears to 0 after the STATUS register bits have been cleared.

FF

The ALERT_TH register sets the current level at which an alert occurs. Defaults to ADC full scale. The ALERT_TH 8-bit

number corresponds to the top eight bits of the current channel data.
