that allow the device to be used in a variety of applications.
The following is a list of applications to consider for the IC:

SENSOR POWER SUPPLY
external to a module. Many sensors such as Hall effect,
pressure sensors, and temperature sensors require a supply
voltage to power the sensor and provide an open collector or
analog output.
to supply power and interface to these types of sensors. In an
application where the input makes continuous transitions,
consider using the wake-up / interrupt command to disable
the interrupt for the particular input.

METALLIC / ELASTOMERIC SWITCH
resistance over time owing to contact corrosion. The
corrosion is induced by humidity, salt, and other elements
that exist in the environment. For this reason the 33972
provides two settings for contacts. When programmed for
metallic switches, the device provides higher wetting current
to keep switch contacts free of oxides. The higher current
occurs for the first 20 ms of switch closure. Where longer
duration of wetting current is desired, the user may send the
wetting current timer command and disable the timer. Wetting
current will be continuous to the closed switch. After the time
period set by the MCU, the wetting current timer command
may be sent again to enable the timer. The user must
consider power dissipation on the device when disabling the
timer. (Refer to the paragraph entitled
page 20.)
contact, the user has two options. Higher wetting current to a
switch may be achieved by paralleling SGn or SPn inputs.
This will increase wetting current by 16 mA for each input
added to the switch contact. The second option is to simply
add an external resistor pull-up to the V
to-ground inputs or a resistor to ground for a switch-to-battery
input. Adding an external resistor has no effect on the
operation of the device.
a high contact resistance. Resistance of 1.0 kΩ is common.
In applications with elastomeric switches, the pull-up and
pulldown currents must be reduced to prevent excessive
power dissipation at the contact. Programming for a lower
current settings is provided in the
