WRITE EXTENDED COMMAND BYTE

In the write extended command 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 is

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 extended command byte (refer to

Table 9, Table 10, and Table 11).

7.

The slave asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

8.

The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the

transaction.

EN_ADC_OC1

LSB, enabled if a single ADC conversion on the I channel exceeds the threshold set in the ALERT_TH register.

Enabled if four consecutive ADC conversions on the I channel exceed the threshold set in the

ALERT_TH register.

EN_OC_ALERT

Enables the OC_ALERT register. If an overcurrent condition is present, the OC_ALERT register captures

and latches this condition.

3

0

EN_OFF_ALERT

Set this bit high to activate the SWOFF bit (see Table 11).

4

0

CLEAR

Clears the OFF_ALERT, OC_ALERT, and ADC_ALERT status bits in the status register. The value of these bits

may immediately change if the source of the alert is not been cleared and the alert function is not disabled.

The CLEAR 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 value

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

SWOFF

LSB, forces the ALERTB pin to deassert. Can be active only if the EN_OFF_ALERT bit is high (see Table 9).
