3.8.1.1 REGOFF and LED1 Polarity Selection
The REGOFF configuration strap is shared with the LED1 pin. The LED1 output will automatically change polarity based
on the presence of an external pull-up resistor. If the LED1 pin is pulled high to VDD2A by an external pull-up resistor
to select a logical high for
REGOFF, then the LED1 output will be active low. If the LED1 pin is pulled low by the internal
pull-down resistor to select a logical low for REGOFF, the LED1 output will then be an active high output. Figure 3-7
details the LED1 polarity for each
REGOFF configuration.

Note: Refer to Section 3.7.4, "REGOFF: Internal +1.2V Regulator Configuration," on page 32 for additional infor-
mation on the REGOFF configuration strap.
3.8.1.2 nINTSEL and LED2 Polarity Selection
The nINTSEL configuration strap is shared with the LED2 pin. The LED2 output will automatically change polarity based
on the presence of an external pull-down resistor. If the LED2 pin is pulled high to VDD2A to select a logical high for
nINTSEL, then the LED2 output will be active low. If the LED2 pin is pulled low by an external pull-down resistor to select
a logical low for nINTSEL, the LED2 output will then be an active high output. Figure 3-8 details the LED2 polarity for
each nINTSEL configuration.
