8.6.4 Lo_thresh (P[1:0] = 2h) [reset = 8000h] and Hi_thresh (P[1:0] = 3h) [reset = 7FFFh] Registers
The upper and lower threshold values used by the comparator are stored in two 16-bit registers in two's
complement format. The comparator is implemented as a digital comparator; therefore, the values in these
registers must be updated whenever the PGA settings are changed.
The conversion-ready function of the ALERT/RDY pin is enabled by setting the Hi_thresh register MSB to 1 and
the Lo_thresh register MSB to 0. To use the comparator function of the ALERT/RDY pin, the Hi_thresh register
value must always be greater than the Lo_thresh register value. The threshold register formats are shown in
Figure 22. When set to RDY mode, the ALERT/RDY pin outputs the OS bit when in single-shot mode, and
provides a continuous-conversion ready pulse when in continuous-conversion mode.
