FDC2114EVM: INTB behaving contrary to documentation

Part Number: FDC2114EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC2114

Hi,

The FDC2114 datasheet says "Setting register CONFIG.INTB_DIS to b1 disables the INTB function and holds the INTB pin high", whereas when I set CONFIG.INTB_DIS to b1 it is held low.

When I enable it with these configurations:

CONFIG: 0x1E01

ERROR_CONFIG: 1

MUX_CONFIG: 0x020D

Output of INTB pin remains low. I found the only event that would cause a deviation in INTB to high for a brief moment (ranging from 1.16 to 42ms) is the reading of the STATUS register.

Can I ask if anyone else has encountered the same issue, if there is any fix, or if I should assume the device is faulty and need to get a new one?

Figure 1: The output of INTB measured on an oscilloscope, the program reads the STATUS register every second, which accounts for the intermittent spikes in voltage

Figure 2: When CONFIG.INTB_DIS is set to b1. INTB essentially flatlines, contrary to datasheet.

  • Hi Kyle,
    Allow me some time to test this in lab and I will get back to you.

  • Hi Kyle,
    I really appreciate your patience. Your register settings for address: 0x19(ERROR_CONFIG) and 0x1A(CONFIG) seems to be incorrect. Can you please change the 7th bit of 0x1A to high and change register 0x19 to 0x0000? This should resolve your issue. Basically you need the Data ready flag (DRDY) to not report Status and you need Config.INTB_DIS to be high.
