Description

0

Extended Mode
Enable

Read/Write

A one enables the Extended Interrupt Modes, the T_CRIT_A output and all the
functions listed in the Extended Mode Registers. Bit 7 of the Interrupt Status
register will be activated to reflect the interrupt status of the LOW limit comparison
result.

1

LOW Limit Mask
Bit

Read/Write

A mask bit for the LOW limit Interrupt. A one disables the interrupt from propagating
to the INT pin.

2-3

T_CRIT_A
Interrupt Mode
Select

Read/Write

The state of these bits select the interrupt mode for T_CRIT_A as described below.

4

T_CRIT_A
Enable

Read/Write

A one enables the T_CRIT_A pin.

5

T_CRIT_A
Polarity

Read/Write

A one sets the T_CRIT_A pin active HIGH. A zero sets the T_CRIT_A pin active
LOW.

6

T_CRIT_A Mask
Enable

Read/Write

A one prevents the T_CRIT_A interrupt from propagating to the INT output pin.

7

T_CRIT_A Status
Bit

Read

A one indicates that a T_CRIT_A interrupt has occurred.

Temperature Data

Read Only

12-bit temperature data least significant bits. Bit 7 mirrors bit 7 in the temperature
configuration register (4Bh) and has a weight of 0.5˚C; bits 6-4 have a weight of
0.25, 0.125, and 0.0625˚C, respectively.
