Interrupt Mode

The interrupt mode bit defines whether the device operates in the temperature comparator mode or

the interrupt mode. This defines the operation of the ALERT output as described in the polarity section

bit.

Interrupt Mode

The comparator mode: If the temperature value exceeds the THIGH value, the alert output is changed

(e.g. from high to low if the polarity bit is set to 0 and vice versa). The alert output stays in that

condition until the measured temperature drops below the defined TLOW value.

The interrupt mode: The alert output changes as soon as the measured temperature crosses the

THIGH or TLOW value threshold.

The alert bit has the same setting as the alert output if the device is set to comparator mode.
