PRODUCTION DATA
As described earlier, the built-in alert function can be used by the host to check if the temperature has crossed a certain threshold. The alert status bits are available in both bus powered and VDD powered mode. The alert pin is available only in VDD powered mode.
If the device is in VDD powered mode and IO2/ALERT is configured to function as an IO2/ALERT pin, then the pin shall be driven active low when the threshold crossing occurs. The pin is open-drain, and therefore requires a pullup resistor. The IO2/ALERT pin deassertion is based on the setting of the ALERT_MODE setting in the device configuration-1 register.
