SBOS790A April 2017 – March 2025 INA233
PRODUCTION DATA
The INA233 open-drain ALERT pin can report if any of the following errors simultaneously occur:
The warning thresholds for the current, power, and bus voltages are set with the IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT, PIN_OP_WARN_LIMIT, VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT, and VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT standard PMBus commands. Various bus communications faults are supported as outlined in the STATUS_CML PMBus command.
The status for the conversion ready and ADC overflow bits can be monitored by the STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC command. The conversion ready bit notifies when the device completes the previous conversion and is ready to begin a new conversion. Conversion ready can be monitored at the ALERT pin along with one of the alert functions. If an alert function and the conversion ready are both enabled to be monitored at the ALERT pin, then after the ALERT pin is asserted, the MFR_ALERT_MASK register or the PMBus status registers must be read following the alert to determine the source of the alert.
If the alert function is not used, the ALERT pin can be left floating without affecting device operation.
