AUXILIARY INPUTS
The AD7877 has three auxiliary analog inputs, AUX1 to AUX3.
These channels have a full-scale input range from 0 V to V
The ADC channel addresses for AUX1 to AUX3 are 0011b,
0100b, and 0101b, and the results are stored in Register 10011b,
Register 10100b, and Register 10101b. These pins can also be
reconfigured as general-purpose logic inputs/outputs, as
described in the GPIO Configuration section.
LIMIT COMPARISON
The AUX1 measurement, the two battery measurements, and
the TEMP1 measurement can all be compared with high and
low limits, and an out-of-limit result that generates an alarm
output at the ALERT pin. The limits are stored in registers with
addresses from 00100b to 01011b. After a measurement from
any one of the four channels is converted, it is compared with
the corresponding high and low limits. An out-of-limit result
sets one of the status bits in the alert status/enable register. For
details on these and other registers, see the Register Maps and
Detailed Register Descriptions sections. For details on writing
and reading data, see the Serial Interface section.
As described in the Single Conversion Method section, the
temperature comparison is made using the result of the TEMP1
measurement, that is, the diode forward voltage. Because the
temperature coefficient of the diode is known but the actual
forward voltage can have a wide tolerance, it is not possible
to program the high and low limit registers with predeter-
mined values.

.
Instead, it is necessary to calibrate the temperature measure-
ment, calculate the TEMP1 readings at the high and low limit
temperatures, and then program those values into the limit
registers, as follows:

The internal 2.5 V reference is used.

Temperature T
Subtract T
get the difference in degrees between the limit
temperatures and the calibration temperature.
Multiply this value by LSB per degree to obtain the
value in LSBs.
Add these values to the digital value at the calibration
temperature to get the digital high and low limit values.
