Alarm Threshold Registers
Four registers store alarm threshold data, with
high-temperature (THIGH) and low-temperature (TLOW)
registers for each A/D channel. If either measured
temperature equals or exceeds the corresponding
alarm threshold value, an ALERT interrupt is as-
serted.
The power-on-reset (POR) state of both THIGH registers
is full scale (0111 1111, or +127
°C). The POR state of
both TLOW registers is 1100 1001 or -55°C.
Diode Fault Alarm
There is a continuity fault detector at DXP that detects
whether the remote diode has an open-circuit condi-
tion. At the beginning of each conversion, the diode
fault is checked, and the status byte is updated. This
fault detector is a simple voltage detector; if DXP rises
above VCC – 1V (typical) due to the diode current
source, a fault is detected. Note that the diode fault
isn’t checked until a conversion is initiated, so immedi-
ately after power-on reset the status byte indicates no
fault is present, even if the diode path is broken.
