PRODUCTION DATA.
This register reflects the ALERT pin status for the analog input channels. The bits in this register are updated after every conversion.

Bit | Field | Type | Reset | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
7 | ALERT_AIN7 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN7 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
6 | ALERT_AIN6 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN6 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
5 | ALERT_AIN5 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN5 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
4 | ALERT_AIN4 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN4 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
3 | ALERT_AIN3 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN3 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
2 | ALERT_AIN2 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN2 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
1 | ALERT_AIN1 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN1 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
0 | ALERT_AIN0 | R | 0b | This bit indicates that either the high or low threshold for AIN0 has been exceeded by the last converted data from channel AIN7.
0b = Neither the high or low threshold have been exceeded 1b = Either the high threshold, the low threshold, or both thresholds have been exceeded |
Bits in this register reflect the result of the logical OR of the corresponding channel bits in the CURR_ALERT_HI_STATUS and CURR_ALERT_LO_STATUS registers. The status of the individual bits in this register is evaluated after every conversion. The contents of this register can be used to ascertain if the last output data are within the specified high and low thresholds for the respective analog input channels.
