THRESHOLD CROSSING MODE
Control Bits 10
In this mode of operation, the magnitude of the input port
signal is monitored over a programmable time period (given
by AMPR) to count the number of times it crosses a certain
programmable threshold value. This mode is set by program-
ming Logic 1x (where x is a don’t care bit) in the power monitor
function select bits in the power monitor control register of the
DDC input port. Before activating this mode, the user needs to
program the 24-bit AMPR and the 10-bit upper threshold register
of the DDC input port. The same upper threshold register is
used for both power monitoring and gain control (see the ADC
Gain Control section).
After entering this mode, the value in the AMPR is loaded into
a monitor period timer, and the countdown is started. The
magnitude of the input signal is compared to the upper
threshold register (programmed previously) on each input clock
cycle. If the input signal has a magnitude greater than the upper
threshold register, then the MSR register is incremented by 1.
The initial value of the MSR is set to 0. This comparison and
incrementing of the MSR register continues until the monitor
period timer reaches a count of 1.
When the monitor period timer reaches a count of 1, the value
in the MSR is transferred to the power monitor holding register,
which can be read through the microport or the serial port. The
monitor period timer is reloaded with the value in the AMPR,
and the countdown is started. The MSR register is also cleared
to a value of 0. If interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is gener-
ated, and the interrupt status register is updated when the
AMPR reaches a count of 1. Figure 46 illustrates the threshold
crossing logic. The value in the MSR is the number of samples
that have an amplitude greater than the threshold register.

ADDITIONAL CONTROL BITS
For additional flexibility in the power monitoring process, two
control bits are provided in the power monitor control register.
The two control bits are the disable monitor period timer bit
and the clear-on-read bit. These options have the same function
in all three modes of operation.
Disable Monitor Period Timer Bit
When the disable monitor period timer bit is written with
Logic 1, the timer continues to run but does not cause the
contents of the MSR to be transferred to the holding register
when the count reaches 1. This function of transferring the
MSR to the power monitor holding register and resetting the
MSR is now controlled by a read operation on the microport or
serial port.
When a microport or serial port read is performed on the
power monitor holding register, the MSR value is transferred to
the holding register. After the read operation, the timer is
reloaded with the AMPR value. If the timer reaches 1 before the
microport or serial port read, the MSR value is not transferred
to the holding register, as in normal operation. The timer still
generates an interrupt on the AD6654 interrupt pin and updates
the interrupt status register. An interrupt appears on the IRP
pin, if interrupts are enabled in the interrupt enable register.
Clear-on-Read Bit
This control bit is valid only when the disable monitor period
timer bit is Logic 1. When both of these bits are set, a read
operation to either the microport or the serial port reads the
MSR value, and the monitor period timer is reloaded with the
AMPR value. The MSR is cleared (written with current input
signal magnitude in peak power and mean power modes;
written with a 0 in threshold crossing mode), and normal
operation continues.
When the monitor period timer is disabled and the clear-on-
read bit is set, a read operation to the power monitor holding
register clears the contents of the MSR and, therefore, the power
monitor loop restarts.
If the clear-on-read bit is Logic 0, the read operation to the
microport or serial port does not clear the MSR value after it is
transferred into the holding register. The value from the
previous monitor time period persists, and it continues to be
compared, accumulated, or incremented, based on new input
signal magnitude values.
