40.5.4 Interrupts

The TSENS has the following interrupt sources:

  • Result Ready (RESRDY): Indicates when a measurement result is available.
  • Window Monitor (WINMON): Generated when the measurement result matches the window monitor condition. Refer to CTRLC40.6.3 Control C for details.
  • Overrun (OVERRUN): Indicates that a new result is ready before the previous result has been read.
  • Overflow (OVF): Indicates that the result is invalid because the result required more than 16 bits and overflowed the VALUE register.

Each interrupt source has an interrupt flag associated with it. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flag Status and Clear (INTFLAG) register is set when the interrupt condition occurs. Each interrupt can be individually enabled by writing a one to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Set (INTENSET) register, and disabled by writing a one to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Clear (INTENCLR) register. An interrupt request is generated when the interrupt flag is set and the corresponding interrupt is enabled. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared, the interrupt is disabled, or the TSENS is reset. See INTFLAG40.6.7 Interrupt Flag Status and Clear for details on how to clear interrupt flags. All interrupt requests from the peripheral are ORed together on system level to generate one combined interrupt request to the NVIC. The user must read the INTFLAG register to determine which interrupt condition is present.

Note that interrupts must be globally enabled for interrupt requests to be generated.
