Hi, I want to configure the BQ76942 in my design to trigger an interrupt when the detected current exceeds 8 A.
I am finding the description of alarm register masking etc (in the technical reference manual) to be quite confusing, and am struggling to understand which registers need to be set.
Would really appreciate it if you could describe which configuration registers to set (and what to set them to) to achieve the following:
ALERT pin (normally high impedance, pulled high by external resistor), drives low when the BQ76942 detects discharge current above 8 A. No other alarms or protections trigger the ALERT pin.
After reading the TRM, my understanding is that this will involve configuring the alert pin to be active-low, setting up an Overcurrent in Discharge protection, and then configuring this so that it triggers the ALERT pin (and nothing else). But I'm struggling to actually achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
