The EMC2101 has two 8-bit limit registers, two 11-bit limit registers, and one hysteresis register. The
limits are checked after every temperature conversion.
If the measured temperature for the internal diode exceeds the Internal Temperature limit, then the
INT_HIGH bit is set in the Status Register. It will remain set until the internal temperature drops below
the high limit.
If the measured temperature for the External Diode exceeds the 11-bit External Diode High Limit, or
drops below the 11-bit External Diode Low Limit, then the appropriate status bit will be set. The status
bit will remain set until the temperature is no longer violating the respective limits.
If the External Diode exceeds the TCRIT Temp Limit (even if it does not exceed the External Diode
Temperature Limit), the TCRIT bit will be set in the Status Register.
The TCRIT bit will remain set in the Status Register until the External Diode Temperature drops below
a lower threshold given by equation [2].
TEMP = (TCRIT – TCRITHYS
)
