6.3.2.1 ALERT Output as a Temperature Comparator

When the LM64 is used in a system in which does not require temperature-based interrupts, the ALERT output could be used as a temperature comparator. In this mode, once the condition that triggered the ALERT to go low is no longer present, the ALERT is negated (Figure 6-2). For example, if the ALERT output was activated by the comparison of LT > LHS, when this condition is no longer true, the ALERT will return HIGH. This mode allows operation without software intervention, once all registers are configured during set-up. In order for the ALERT to be used as a temperature comparator, the Comparator Mode bit in the Remote Diode Temperature Filter and Comparator Mode Register must be asserted. This is not the power-on default state.
