The code for a given threshold is therefore given by
N = 255 × (V
For example, if the user wishes to set a 5 V OV threshold on
VP1, the code to be programmed in the PS1OVTH register
(discussed later) would be
N = 255 × (5 – 2.005)/3.997
Thus, N = 191 (1011 1111 binary, or 0xBF)
The available threshold ranges and their resolutions are shown
in Table 3. Note that the low end of the detection range is fixed
at 33.33% of the top of the range. Note also that for a given SFD,
the ranges overlap; for example, VH goes from 2 V to 6 V and
then from 4.8 V to 14.4 V. This is to provide better threshold
setting resolution as supplies decrease in value.

SFD COMPARATOR HYSTERESIS
The OV and UV comparators shown in Figure 18 are always
looking at VPn via a potential divider. In order to avoid
chattering (multiple transitions when the input is very close to
the set threshold level), these comparators have digitally
programmable hysteresis. The UV and OV hysteresis can be
programmed in two registers that are similar but separate to the
UV or OV threshold registers. Only the five LSBs of these
registers can be set. The hysteresis is added after the supply
voltage goes out of tolerance. Thus, the user can determine how
much above the UV threshold the input must rise again before a
UV fault is deasserted. Similarly, the user can determine how
much below the OV threshold the input must fall again before
an OV fault is deasserted. The hysteresis figure is given by

THRESH
Therefore, if the low range threshold detector was selected, the
max hysteresis is defined as
(3 V – 1 V) × 31/255 = 242 mV, where (2
The hysteresis programming resolution is the same as the
threshold detect ranges—that is, 37.5 mV on the high range,
15.6 mV on the midrange, 7.8 mV on the low range, and 4.7 mV
on the ultralow range.
BIPOLAR SFDs
The two bipolar SFDs also allow the detection of faults on nega-
tive supplies. A polarity bit in the setup register for this SFD
(Bit 7 in Register BSnSEL—see register map overleaf) deter-
mines if a positive or negative input should be applied to VBn.
Only one range (−6 V to −2 V) is available when the SFDs are in
negative mode. Note that the bipolar SFDs cannot be used to
power the ADM1060, even if the voltage on VBn is positive.
