SBOS288M January 2004 – December 2020 TMP175 , TMP75
PRODUCTION DATA
The TMP175 and TMP75 support the SMBus Alert function. When the TMP75 and TMP175 are operating in interrupt mode (TM = 1), the ALERT pin of the TMP75 or TMP175 can be connected as an SMBus Alert signal. When a master senses that an ALERT condition is present on the ALERT line, the master sends an SMBus Alert command (00011001) on the bus. If the ALERT pin of the TMP75 or TMP175 is active, the devices acknowledge the SMBus Alert command and respond by returning its slave address on the SDA line. The eighth bit (LSB) of the slave address byte indicates if the temperature exceeding THIGH or falling below TLOW caused the ALERT condition. This bit is high if the temperature is greater than or equal to THIGH. This bit is low if the temperature is less than TLOW. See Figure 7-5 for details of this sequence.
If multiple devices on the bus respond to the SMBus Alert command, arbitration during the slave address portion of the SMBus Alert command determine which device clears its ALERT status. If the TMP75 or TMP175 wins the arbitration, its ALERT pin becomes inactive at the completion of the SMBus Alert command. If the TMP75 or TMP175 loses the arbitration, its ALERT pin remains active.
