completed transmission. The master can terminate the data transfer by transmitting a Not-

Acknowledge after the transmitted slave data or by invoking a START or a STOP condition on the bus.

Alert Function

If the device is configured for an interrupt mode operation (IM=1), the ALERT output can be used as

an alert signal.

If the polarity bit is set to ‘0’ (POL=’0’), the alert condition bit is set to ‘0’ in case the temperature has

exceeded the configured value in register THIGH. Accordingly,

the alert condition bit is set to ‘1’ if the

temperature has fallen below the configured value in register TLOW.

If the polarity bit is set to ‘1’ (POL=’1’), the alert condition bit is inverted. The following table

summarizes the status of the alert condition bit with different alert conditions and polarity

configurations.

High Speed Mode

The bus operation is limited to 400 kHz unless the master device issues a high-speed command as

the first byte after a START condition. This switches the bus to a high-speed operation, which allows

data transfer frequencies up to 3.4 MHz. The slave does not acknowledge such a command but the

input-filter time constants on the serial interface (SDA and SCL) are adapted to allow the higher

transfer rate.

The slave does not acknowledge such a command but the input-filter time constants on the serial

interface (SDA and SCL) are adapted to allow the higher transfer rate.

After a high-speed command, the master transmits the slave address in order to invoke a data

transfer. The bus keeps operating at the higher operating frequency until the master issues a STOP

condition on the serial bus. Upon the reception of the STOP condition by the slave, the input filters are

switched to their initial time constants, which allow lower transfer rates only.
