33.10.3 External Input Source

External shutdown inputs provide the fastest way to safely suspend CWG operation in the event of a Fault condition. When any of the selected shutdown inputs goes active, the CWG outputs will immediately go to the selected override levels without software delay. The override levels are selected by the LSBD and LSAC bits. Several input sources can be selected to cause a Shutdown condition. All input sources are active-low. The shutdown input sources are individually enabled by the ASyE bits.

Important: Shutdown inputs are level sensitive, not edge sensitive. The Shutdown state cannot be cleared, except by disabling auto-shutdown, as long as the shutdown input level persists.
