ADT7422
Data Sheet
INT AND CT OUTPUTS
The INT pin and CT pin are open-drain outputs, and both
require a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to VDD. The ADT7422 must be
fully powered up to VDD before reading the INT and CT data.
Comparator Mode
In comparator mode, the INT pin returns to inactive status
when the temperature drops below the THIGH − THYST limit or
rises above the TLOW + THYST limit.
UNDERTEMPERATURE AND OVERTEMPERATURE
DETECTION
Placing the ADT7422 in shutdown mode does not reset the
INT state in comparator mode.
The INT pin and CT pin have two undertemperature/overtemper-
ature modes: comparator mode and interrupt mode. The interrupt
mode is the default power-up overtemperature mode. The INT
output pin becomes active when the temperature is greater than
the temperature stored in the THIGH setpoint register or less than
the temperature stored in the TLOW setpoint register. How the
INT pin reacts after this event depends on the overtemperature
mode selected.
Interrupt Mode
In interrupt mode, the INT pin goes inactive when any ADT7422
register is read. When the INT pin is reset, it only goes active
again when the temperature is either greater than the temperature
stored in the THIGH setpoint register, or less than the
temperature stored in the TLOW setpoint register.
Placing the ADT7422 in shutdown mode resets the INT pin in
interrupt mode.
Figure 20 shows the comparator and interrupt modes for events
exceeding the THIGH limit with both pin polarity settings. Figure 21
shows the comparator and interrupt modes for events
exceeding the TLOW limit with both pin polarity settings.
