B.10 STATUS
Register description:
(1) Idat1 is sensor power supply current, Idat2 is top board power supply current. We use Idat to
represent Idat1 or Idat2. Idat_reg contains 3 bytes to be Idat_reg[23:0]. Idat_reg[23] is symbol flag,
while Idat_reg[22:0] is current value. The LSB for Idat is 1uA, the formula is as below:
For example, if byte1 = 0x8C, byte2 = 0xD5 and byte3 = 0x00, then the current value is:
Idat = -Idat_reg[22:0] = -0x0CD500 uA = -840960uA≈-841mA
(2) We have six different voltage, each voltage register has 2 bytes to be Vdat_reg[15:0].
Vdat_reg[15:12] is invalid, while Vdat[11:0] represent the voltage value. The six different voltage
formulas is as below:
The unit above is volt (V).
