Product data sheet
7.3.2.1 Alarm window
7.3.2.2 Critical trip
7.3.2 EVENT thresholds
The device provides a comparison window with an UPPER trip point and a LOWER trip
point, programmed through the Upper Boundary Alarm Trip register (02h), and Lower
Boundary Alarm Trip register (03h). The Upper Boundary Alarm Trip register holds the
upper temperature trip point, while the Lower Boundary Alarm Trip register holds the lower
temperature trip point as modified by hysteresis as programmed in the Configuration
register. When enabled, the EVENT output triggers whenever entering or exiting (crossing
above or below) the alarm window.
The Upper Boundary Alarm Trip should always be set above the Lower Boundary Alarm
Trip.
The T
modified by hysteresis as programmed in the Configuration register. When the
temperature reaches the critical temperature value in this register (and EVENT is
enabled), the EVENT output asserts and cannot be de-asserted until the temperature
drops below the critical temperature threshold. The EVENT cannot be cleared through the
Clear EVENT bit or SMBus ALERT.
The Critical Alarm Trip should always be set above the Upper Boundary Alarm Trip.

Advisory notification:
– NXP device: The EVENT output can be cleared through the Clear EVENT bit
– Competitor device: The EVENT output can be cleared only through the
– Work-around: Only clear EVENT output using the Clear EVENT bit.
– There will be no change to the NXP device.
Advisory notification:
– NXP device: Requires one conversion cycle (125 ms) after setting the alarm
– Competitor devices: Compares the alarm limit with temperature register at any
