PRODUCTION DATA
When the Alert Mode Setting bit in the Configuration Register is set to 1, the Alert Mode is set to Comparator mode. In this mode, the ALERT pin is asserted at the end of a conversion cycle if the measured temperature exceeds a High Alert Limit or goes below a Low Alert Limit defined in the limit registers. The ALERT pin deasserts at the end of the preceding conversion cycle if the measured temperature is equal to or below a High Alert limit minus hysteresis and equal to or above a Low Alert limit plus hysteresis defined in the limit registers. The ALERT mask bit does not set after reading the status register in comparator mode.
The ALERT High Status flag sets at the end of a conversion cycle when the measured temperature exceeds a High Alert Limit register limit and clear at the end of a conversion cycle when the measured temperature is equal to or below the High Limit value minus hysteresis. There are separate High Limit values and status register flags for the remote and local temperature measurements. The status register flags only set or clear to the respective temperature measurements. Refer to Section 8.30.
The ALERT Low Status flag sets at the end of a conversion cycle when the measured temperature is below a Low Alert Limit register limit and clears at the end of a conversion cycle when the measured temperature is equal to or above the Low Limit value plus hysteresis. There are separate Low Limit values and status register flags for the remote and local temperature measurements. The status register flags only set or clear to the respective temperature measurements. Refer to Section 8.31.
Figure 7-6 shows the behavior of the ALERT pin and flags while in Comparator mode.
