PRODUCTION DATA
A fault condition occurs when the measured temperature exceeds the user-defined limits set in the THIGH and TLOW Registers. Additionally, the number of fault conditions required to generate an alert can be programmed using the Fault Queue. The Fault Queue is provided to prevent a false alert resulting from environmental noise. The Fault Queue requires consecutive fault measurements in order to trigger the alert function. If the temperature falls below TLOW before reaching the number of programmed consecutive faults limit, the count is reset to 0. Table 7-9 defines the number of measured faults that can be programmed to trigger an alert condition in the device.
