Status Register (Read-Only, Address = 4Fh, Default = 0000h)

The AMC7812B continuously monitors all analog inputs and temperatures during normal operation. When any

input is out of the specified range for N consecutive times, the corresponding alarm bit is set ('1'). If the input

returns to the normal range before N consecutive times, the corresponding alarm bit remains clear ('0'). This

configurations avoids any false alarms.

When an alarm status occurs, the corresponding alarm bit is set ('1'). When the ALARM-LATCH-DIS bit in the

alarm control register is cleared ('0'), the ALARM pin is latched. Whenever an alarm status bit is set, that bit

remains set until the event that caused the alarm is resolved and the status register is read. Reading the status

registers clears the alarm status bit. The alarm bit can only be cleared by reading the status register after the

event is resolved, or by hardware reset, software reset, or power-on reset. All alarm status bits are cleared when

reading the status register, and all these bits are reasserted if the out-of-limit condition still exists after the next

conversion cycle, unless otherwise noted.

When the ALARM-LATCH-DIS bit in the alarm control register is set ('1'), the ALARM pin is not latched. The

alarm bit goes to '0' when the error condition subsides, regardless of whether the bit is read or not.

DESCRIPTION

—

Reserved. Writing to this bit causes no change. Reading this bit returns '0'.

0 = The analog input is not out of the specified range.

CH0-ALR

1 = The single-ended channel 0 or differential input pair (CH0+, CH1–) is out of the range

defined by the corresponding threshold registers.

0 = The analog input is not out of the specified range.

CH1-ALR

1 = The single-ended channel 1 is out of the range defined by the corresponding threshold

registers.

0 = The analog input is not out of the specified range.

CH2-ALR

1 = The single-ended channel 2 or differential input pair (CH2+, CH3–) is out of the range

defined by the corresponding threshold registers.

0 = The analog input is not out of the specified range.

CH3-ALR

1 = The single-ended channel 3 is out of the range defined by the corresponding threshold

registers.

Local temperature underrange flag.

0 = The local temperature is not less than the range.

LT-Low-ALR

1 = The local temperature is less than the low-bound threshold.

This bit is only checked when LT is enabled (EN-LT is '1'); this bit is ignored when EN-LT is

'0'.

Local temperature overrange flag.

0 = The local temperature is not greater than the range.

LT-High-ALR

1 = The local temperature is greater than the high-bound threshold.

This bit is only checked when LT is enabled (EN-LT is '1'); this bit is ignored when EN-LT is

'0'.

Remote temperature reading of D1 when less than the range flag.

0 = The local temperature is not less than the range.

D1-Low-ALR

1 = The local temperature is less than the low-bound threshold.

This bit is only checked when D1 is enabled (EN-D1 is '1'); this bit is ignored when EN-D1 is

'0'.

Remote temperature reading of D1 when greater than the range flag.

0 = The local temperature is not greater than the range.

D1-High -ALR

1 = The local temperature is greater than the high-bound threshold.

This bit is only checked when D1 is enabled (EN-D1 is '1'); this bit is ignored when EN-D1 is

'0'.

Remote temperature reading of D2 when less than the range flag.

0 = The local temperature is not less than the range.

D2-Low-ALR

1 = The local temperature is less than the low-bound threshold.

This bit is only checked when D2 is enabled (EN-D2 is '1'); this bit is ignored when EN-D2 is

'0'.
