5.9 Data ready detection
This interrupt provides the possibility of synchronously reading out data from the BMA220
without missing a single data point. The data update detection monitors the data_update signals
for all axes. It generates an interrupt as soon as the acceleration values for all enabled axes
have been updated. The signal en_x_channel, en_y_channel and en_z_channel are the enable
signals for the data conversion from each axis accordingly. The three enable signals can be
configured by users (see section 4.1.4). For example, if all three axes are enabled, the interrupt
is generated after updated signals for x-, y-, and z-axes have been detected.
When data ready detection is activated, all other interrupts are not propagated to the INT pin.
However their status can still be obtained from the appropriate registers.
When the data-ready interrupt is not latched, the interrupt is cleared automatically after ~150μs.
