When an outside common-mode event occurs the input buffer is effectively disabled and automatically protected.

The level flag cm_under_voltage or cm_over_voltage is sent to the PL if an under or over common-mode signal is detected. Because the RF-ADC is disabled during this event the data in the digital datapath is gated to 0. The calibration phase of the power-up process will not commence until the common-mode is within the safe operating range.

The cm_under_voltage or cm_over_voltage signal remains set while the common-mode is outside the thresholds and automatically deasserts when the common mode returns to the safe operating range. This is shown in the following figure:
