Digital Voltage Monitoring and
Power-Good Outputs
The voltage at the load (MON_ inputs) is sampled by
the internal ADC. The MON_ full-scale voltage for each
channel can be set to 16V, 8V, 4V, or 2V by writing to
register mon_range. The default range is 16V (Tables
17 and 18).
Table 17. ADC Voltage Monitor Settings Register Format
Table 18. ADC Full-Scale Voltage Setting
Table 19. ADC Voltage Conversion Result Register Format (High-Order Bits)
Table 20. ADC Voltage Conversion Result Register Format (Low-Order Bits)
The most recent voltage conversion results can be read
from the adc_chx_mon_msb and adc_chx_mon_lsb reg-
isters (see Tables 19 and 20).
