Functional Description
8.2 Temperature Interrupts
INT and T_CRIT_A outputs are provided for temperature
interrupt. Temperature interrupts have a normal and an ex-
tended option of operation. Each option has three different
modes of operation: Repetitive Interrupt, One-Time Interrupt
and Comparator.
Normal Repetitive Interrupt Mode is shown in Figure 11
and operates in the following way: T_CRIT_A is disabled.
Exceeding T
indefinitely until reset by reading Interrupt Status Register 1.
Once reset if the temperature remains above the T
setpoint the interrupt will again be activated at the comple-
tion of another conversion cycle. If temperature is less than
or equal to T
*
Note: Interrupt resets occur only when interrupt Status Register 1 is read.

Normal One-Time Interrupt Mode is shown in Figure 12
and operates in the following way: T_CRIT_A is disabled.

Another interrupt will not occur until the temperature drops to
less than or equal to T
a subsequent conversion. After power up this mode is se-
lected as default.

Normal Comparator Mode is shown in Figure 13 and op-
erates in the following way: T_CRIT_A is disabled. Exceed-
ing T
the temperature is less than or equal to T

Note: Interrupt resets occur only when interrupt Status Register 1 is read.
