If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate the +real voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is the +value of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the value +of the divider resistor against Ground. + +Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADC +Current Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistor +is installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the real +current by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm. + +======================= ======================= +in1_input SOURCE voltage (mV) +in1_min_alarm Undervoltage alarm +in1_max_alarm Overvoltage alarm + +in2_input ADIN voltage (mV) +in2_alarm Power bad alarm + +curr1_input SENSE current (mA) +curr1_alarm SENSE overcurrent alarm +======================= ======================= -- cgit v1.2.3
