1.12 Fault Queue

In order to suppress erroneous ALERT or T_CRIT triggering

the LM86 incorporates a Fault Queue. The Fault Queue acts

to insure a remote temperature measurement is genuinely

beyond a HIGH, LOW or T_CRIT setpoint by not triggering

until three consecutive out of limit measurements have been

made, see Figure 10. The fault queue defaults off upon

power-up and may be activated by setting bit D0 in the

Configuration register (09h) to “1”.

1.13 One-Shot Register

The One-Shot register is used to initiate a single conversion

and comparison cycle when the device is in standby mode,

after which the device returns to standby. This is not a data

register and it is the write operation that causes the one-shot

conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and

is not stored. A zero will always be read from this register.

2.0 LM86 REGISTERS

2.1 COMMAND REGISTER

Selects which registers will be read from or written to. Data for this register should be transmitted during the Command Byte of

the SMBus write communication.
