Ah, ok, thanks for the info. I know this, but in our specific case, this is not a problem, since we don't use the nINT for other purposes, but only for a battery low indicator. On the contrary, in our case, it's better that the alarm signal remains low until the battery is changed. Anyway, I can specify this collateral effect in a specific file for the Pcf2127 in the DT bindings Documentation. What do you think? Flavio Suligoi
