INA226 Alert reset

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA226

I want to use the INA226 in an application that requires CPU shutdown in an over current Alert condition. In an over current condition, all but battery power is turned off. The shunt will remain powered but the VS pin will lose power. Will disconnecting Power from VS pin clear the Alert Register and cause a “power on reset” when power is restored? I want to use the Alert pin to trigger a shutdown.

If I maintain power to the VS pin and the condition that casued the overcurrent is corrected, will the device clear the Alert on the next conversion?

 

Thank you,
