1.2.2 ALERT Output as an Interrupt
The LM96163's ALERT output can be implemented as a sim-
ple interrupt signal when it is used to trigger an interrupt
service routine. In such systems it is desirable for the interrupt
flag to repeatedly trigger during or before the interrupt service
routine has been completed. Under this method of operation,
during the read of the ALERT Status Register the LM96163
will set the ALERT Mask bit in the Configuration Register if
any bit in the ALERT Status Register is set, with the exception
of Busy and RDFA. This prevents further ALERT triggering
until the master has reset the ALERT Mask bit, at the end of
the interrupt service routine. The ALERT Status Register bits
are cleared only upon a read command from the master (see
Figure 2
version if the triggering condition(s) persist(s). In order for the
ALERT to be used as a dedicated interrupt signal, the Com-
parator Mode bit in the Remote Diode Temperature Filter and
Comparator Mode Register must be set low. This is the pow-
er-on default state. The following sequence describes the
response of a system that uses the ALERT output pin as an
interrupt flag:

1.2.3 ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT
An SMBus alert line is created when the ALERT output is
connected to: (1) one or more ALERT outputs of other SMBus
compatible devices, and (2) to a master. Under this imple-
mentation, the LM96163's ALERT should be operated using
the ARA (Alert Response Address) protocol. The SMBus 2.0
ARA protocol, defined in the SMBus specification 2.0, is a
procedure designed to assist the master in determining which
part generated an interrupt and to service that interrupt.
The SMBus alert line is connected to the open-drain ports of
all devices on the bus, thereby AND'ing them together. The
ARA method allows the SMBus master, with one command,
to identify which part is pulling the SMBus alert line LOW. It
also prevents the part from pulling the line LOW again for the
same triggering condition. When an ARA command is re-
ceived by all devices on the bus, the devices pulling the
SMBus alert line LOW: (1) send their address to the master
and (2) release the SMBus alert line after acknowledgement
of their address.
The SMBus Specifications 1.1 and 2.0 state that in response
to and ARA (Alert Response Address) “after acknowledging
the slave address the device must disengage its ALERT pull-
down”. Furthermore, “if the host still sees ALERT low when
the message transfer is complete, it knows to read the ARA
again.” This SMBus “disengaging ALERT requirement pre-
vents locking up the SMBus alert line. Competitive parts may
address the “disengaging of ALERT” differently than the
LM96163 or not at all. SMBus systems that implement the
ARA protocol as suggested for the LM96163 will be fully com-
patible with all competitive parts.
The LM96163 fulfills “disengaging of ALERT” by setting the
ALERT Mask Bit in the Configuration Register after sending
out its address in response to an ARA and releasing the
ALERT output pin. Once the ALERT Mask bit is activated, the
ALERT output pin will be disabled until enabled by software.
In order to enable the ALERT the master must read the
ALERT Status Register, during the interrupt service routine
and then reset the ALERT Mask bit in the Configuration Reg-
ister to 0 at the end of the interrupt service routine.
The following sequence describes the ARA response proto-
col.
