PRODUCTION DATA
The HDC302x provides hardware notification of events through an interrupt output pin (ALERT). Specifically, the ALERT output represents the status of bits 15, 11, 10, and 4 from the Status Register. The ALERT output asserts to Logic High upon detection of an event and deasserts to Logic Low when the event has passed or after the Status Register is cleared.
The ALERT output is activated by default upon Power Up, and any reset event. The ALERT output goes low when the HDC302x has been disabled using the assertion of the RESET pin.
If temperature correlative humidity tracking through the ALERT output is not desired, the feature can be disabled as explained in ALERT Output: Deactivation of Environmental Tracking.
