BRACKETING A VOLTAGE

In this example, an input voltage level will be bracketed for an over or under-voltage error condition. The input voltage of 5.0 V will be monitored for an over-voltage of 5.25 V and an under-voltage of 4.75 V. The error condition must be true for longer than 750 µs. An interrupt will be generated if either of these conditions occur. Channel 1 will use for an over-voltage and Channel 2 for an under-voltage. Channel 1 and Channel 2 positive (+) sides will be tied together externally. Channel 1 and Channel 2 negative (-) sides will be grounded. The output interrupt will not be latched but will be pulsed.

COMMANDS

DESCRIPTION

INP:RANG 10,(@1,2)

Selects ±10 Volts as the input range for Channel 1

 

and 2.

INP:DEB 75e-5

Sets the debounce time limit to 750 s.

INP:MASK 1,(@1,2)

Enables Channel 1or 2 to generate an interrupt.

INP:MASK 0,(@3:16)

Disables Channels 3 through 16 from generating an

 

interrupt.

INP:POL NORM,(@1)

Selects Channel 1 to generate an interrupt when

 

Channel 1 is greater than the offset voltage.

INP:POL INV,(@2)

Selects Channel 2 to generate an interrupt when

 

Channel 2 is less than the offset voltage.

INP:OFFS +5.25,(@1)

Selects +5.25 volts as the offset (reference) voltage

 

for Channel 1.

INP:OFFS +4.75,(@2)

Selects +4.75 volts as the offset (reference) voltage

 

for Channel 2.

OUTP:POL:EXT:INT NORM

Sets the external interrupt output to be active high.

Figure 3-2and the explanation that follows illustrates what is occurring during this example.
