4.1 Digital Output (Available in All Modes)

The MTCH9010 drives two digital output signals:

  1. Liquid Detect Output: Figure 4-1 indicates the detection status mirrored by an on-board LED that lights up during detection.

    • LOW: No liquid present
    • HIGH: Liquid detected

  2. Heartbeat Output: The heartbeat output indicates that the device is functioning correctly. The heartbeat signal depends on the configured Sleep period, with the output level toggling every time the device enters Sleep state. See the MTCH9010 data sheet for more information on the heartbeat feature.

Attention:

Error State: If an error is detected, the MTCH9010's on-board LED (Figure 4-3) blinks alternately between the liquid detect indicator and heartbeat indicator.
