ALERT output or as an additional THERM output.
THERM2 will assert low when the temperature exceeds the
programmed local and/or remote high temperature limits. It
is reset in the same manner as THERM, and it is not
maskable. The programmed hysteresis value also applies to
THERM2.
operate together to implement two methods of cooling the
system. In this example, the THERM2 limits are set lower
than the THERM limits. The THERM2 output could be used
to turn on a fan. If the temperature continues to rise and
exceeds the THERM limits, the THERM output could
provide additional cooling by throttling the CPU.

ALERT
If the measured temperature exceeds the high
temperature limit, the ALERT output will assert low.
If the temperature continues to increase and exceeds the
THERM limit, the THERM output asserts low. This can
be used to throttle the CPU clock or switch on a fan.
The THERM output de−asserts (goes high) when the
temperature falls to THERM limit minus hysteresis. In
Figure 19, the default hysteresis value of 10°C is
shown.
The ALERT output de−asserts only when the
temperature has fallen below the high temperature
limit, and the master has read the device address and
cleared the status register.

The temperature measurement could be either the local or
the remote temperature measurement.
Applications Information
Noise Filtering
previous practice was to place a capacitor across the D+ and
D− pins to help combat the effects of noise. However, large
capacitances affect the accuracy of the temperature
measurement, leading to a recommended maximum
capacitor value of 1,000 pF.
Factors Affecting Diode Accuracy
Remote Sensing Diode
transistors built into processors or with discrete transistors.
Substrate transistors will generally be PNP types with the
collector connected to the substrate. Discrete types can be
either a PNP or an NPN transistor connected as a diode (base
shorted to collector). If an NPN transistor is used, the
collector and base are connected to D+ and the emitter to D−.
If a PNP transistor is used, the collector and base are
connected to D− and the emitter to D+.

consideration:

As the system cools further, and the temperature falls
below the THERM2 limit, the THERM2 signal resets.
