DoclD027112 Rev2.

Description for CTRL_REG1 in Register description 8.6

DIFF_EN - Interrupt generation enable. Default value: 0

(0: interrupt generation disabled; 1: interrupt generation enabled)

 Text description is:

The DIFF_EN bit is used to enable the computing of differential pressure output. It is recommended to enable DIFF_EN after the configuration of REF_P_H (0Ah), REF_P_L (09h), REF_P_XL (08h), THS_P_H (31h) and THS_P_L (30h).

Question: Is this bit a DIFF_EN or is it an Interrupt Enable?

Description for CTRL_REG2 in Register description 8.7

FIFO_MEAN_-DEC - Register address automatically incremented during a multiple byte access with a serial interface (I 2 C or SPI). Default value 1. (0: disable; 1 enable)

There is no text description of the bit.

Question: Is this bit related to the FIFO operation in any way (as the bit name implies) or is it simply a register addr increment for the serial bus access?

Hi,

1.

DIFF_EN bit is used to enable the computing of differential pressure output.

The pressure output value PRESS_OUT will contain the Reference pressure value data (REF_P) subtracted from the sensor output measurement.

The reference pressure value is subtracted from the sensor output measurement, to detect a measured pressure beyond programmed limits ( THS_P).

In order to enable the pressure interrupt, you have to configure the CTRL_REG3 (0x22h) too.

So in order to enable the interrupt generation you have to enable DIFF_EN bit and configure CTRL_REG3 (see table 20 on datasheet).

2.

Sorry, the FIFO_MEAN_-DEC bit description is not correct.

Pls, See section 4.6 on datasheet for explanation of this bit.

We are going to correct the datasheet for the next review.

Regards
