8.4.3.2 Wetting Current Auto-Scaling
The 10 mA and 15 mA wetting current settings are useful to clean oxide build-up on the mechanical switch
contact surface when the switch changes state from open to close. After the switch is closed, it is undesirable to
keep the wetting current level at high level if only digital switches are monitored since it results in high current
consumption and could potentially heat up the device quickly if multiple inputs are monitored. The wetting current
auto-scaling feature helps mitigate this issue.
When enabled (AUTO_SCALE_DIS_CSO or AUTO_SCALE_DIS_CSI bit = logic 0 in the WC_CFG1 register),
wetting current is reduced to 2 mA from 10 mA or 15 mA setting after switch closure is detected. The threshold
used to determine a switch closure is the threshold configured in the THRES_COMP register for inputs
configured as comparator input mode. For inputs configured as ADC input mode, the threshold used to
determine a switch closure depends on the input number, as described in Table 8 below.
