1°C Dual SMBus Sensor with Resistance Error Correction
Datasheet
The ALERT/THERM2 pin de-asserts when the EMC1002 responds to an alert response address
(ARA=0001 100) sent by the host if the out of limit condition no longer exists, but it does not reset if
the error condition remains. The ALERT/THERM2 pin can be masked so that it will not assert in the
event of an out of limit temperature measurement.

The ALERT/THERM2 pin can be configured as a second THERM pin that asserts when the temperature
measurement exceeds the Temperature High Limit value. In this mode, the output will not de-assert
until the temperature drops below the Temperature High Limit minus the THERM Hysteresis value.

ADDR/THERM Output
The ADDR/THERM output asserts if the temperature measurement exceeds the programmable THERM
limit. It can be used to drive a fan or other fail-safe devices. The ADDR/THERM pin is open drain and
requires a pull-up resistor to VDD. For the EMC1002-2, the value of this pull-up resistor determines the
slave address per Table 1.2 on page 3. The ADDR/THERM pin cannot be masked.
When the ADDR/THERM pin is asserted, it will not de-assert until the temperature drops below the
THERM limit minus the THERM hysteresis value.
