3.2.6 Latch_INT:
If this bit (address 15h, bit 4) is at 1, interrupts are latched. The INT pad stays high until
microprocessor detects it and writes reset_INT control bit to 1 (section 3.3.1). When this bit is at
0, interrupts are set and reset directly by BMA150 according to programmable criteria (sections
3.2.7 and 3.2.8).
3.2.7 LG_thres, LG_hyst, LG_dur, counter_LG
LG_thres (address 0C, bits 7-0 / low-g threshold) and LG_hyst (address 11h, bits 2-0 / low-g
threshold hysteresis) are used to detect a free fall. The threshold and duration codes define one
criterion for interrupt generation when absolute value of acceleration is low for long enough
duration.
Data format is unsigned integer.
LG_thres criterion_x is true if
LG_thres interrupt is set if
LG_thres criterion_x is false if
LG_thres interrupt is reset if
LG_thres and LG_hyst codes must be chosen to have (LG_thres + 32*LG_hyst) < 511.
When LG_thres criterion becomes active, an interrupt counter is incremented by 1 LSB/ms.
When the low-g interrupt counter value equals (LG_dur+1), an interrupt is generated.
Depending on counter_LG (address 0Bh, bit 3 and 2) register, the counter could also be reset
or count down when LG_thres criterion is false.
Table 6: Description of debouncing counter counter_LG
If latch_INT=0, the interrupt is not a latched interrupt and then it is reset as soon as LG_thres
criteria becomes false. When interrupt occurs, the interrupt counter is reset.
The LG_thres criteria is set with an AND condition on all three axes to be used for free fall
detection.
