SBOS527G December 2010 – September 2025 TMP411-Q1 , TMP411D-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TMP411-Q1 and TMP411D-Q1 support the SMBus alert function. When pin 6 is configured as an alert output, the ALERT pin of the TMP411-Q1 and TMP411D-Q1 can be connected as an SMBus alert signal. When a controller detects an alert condition on the ALERT line, the controller sends an SMBus alert command (0001 1001) on the bus. If the ALERT pin of the TMP411-Q1 and TMP411D-Q1 devices is active, the device acknowledges the SMBus alert command and returns the target address on the SDA line. The eighth bit (LSB) of the target address byte indicates whether the temperature exceeding one of the temperature high limit settings or falling below one of the temperature low limit settings caused the alert condition. The bit is high if the temperature is greater than one of the temperature high limit settings; the bit is low if the temperature is less than or equal to one of the temperature low limit settings. See Figure 7-9 for details of this sequence.
If multiple devices on the bus respond to the SMBus alert command, arbitration during the target address portion of the SMBus alert command determines which device clears the alert status. If the TMP411-Q1 and TMP411D-Q1 win the arbitration, the ALERT pin becomes inactive at the completion of the SMBus alert command. If the TMP411-Q1 and TMP411D-Q1 devices lose the arbitration, the ALERT pin remains active.
