Note:

The PFI0/TRIG1 pin is a high-impedance input. Therefore, it is
susceptible to cross-talk from adjacent pins, which can result in false
triggering when the pin is left unconnected. To avoid false triggering, make
sure this pin is connected to a low-impedance signal source (less than
10 k

source impedance) if you plan to enable this input via software.

Figure 3-3.

Analog Trigger Block Diagram

There are five analog triggering modes available, as shown in

Figures 3-4 through 3-8. You can set

lowValue

and

highValue

independently in software.

In below-low-level analog triggering mode, the trigger is generated

when the signal value is less than

lowValue

.

HighValue

is unused.

Figure 3-4.

Below-Low-Level Analog Triggering Mode

In above-high-level analog triggering mode, the trigger is generated

when the signal value is greater than

highValue

.

LowValue

is unused.
