7.3.7.10 Temperature Alert Check

This diagnostic mechanism allows the controller to monitor the junction temperature of the die, which is also an indication of the ambient temperature as the device does not generate significant self-heating. This is useful to monitor the temperature at the system level accurately and alert the controller if the temperature is exceeded. It can also be used to warn the controller if the die temperature due to some internal failure has increased beyond the expected range.

To run this check, the controller must enable the temperature check and set the threshold. The user can configure the ALERT pin to toggle if the threshold crossed, which is also reported in the user register.

Run ModeEvery time a magnetic measurement is initiated and completed
Configuration Register(s)T_HLT_EN to enable test. T_THRX_CONFIG to set threshold
Fault Register Bit TEMP_THX
Impact if disabledIf disabled, it does not have impact on device-level failure detection but at system level increase or decrease of temperature.
