ALERT CONFIGURATION

REGISTERS

This device integrates four individually controlled

temperature alert outputs. Each output is configured for

the corresponding alert output using the Alert Output

Configuration registers.

The Configuration registers are used to enable each

output, select the Alert Function mode as Comparator

or Interrupt mode, active-high or active-low output,

detect rising or falling temperatures and detect TH or

TC Temperature registers.

The Comparator mode is useful for thermostat-type

applications, such as on/off switches for fan controllers,

buzzer or LED indicators. The alert output asserts and

deasserts when the temperature exceeds the

user-specified limit, and the user-specified hysteresis

limit. The Interrupt mode is useful for interrupt driven

microcontroller-based systems. The alert outputs are

asserted each time the temperature exceeds the

user-specified alert limit and hysteresis limits.

The microcontroller will have Acknowledged the

interrupt signal from the corresponding alert output by

clearing the interrupt using bit 7 of the corresponding

Configuration register.

The Rise/Fall bit (bit 3) and the Monitor TH/TC bit (bit 4)

can be used to detect and maintain the thermocouple

temperature or the cold-junction temperature to the

desired temperature window.
