Datasheet
Revision 1.0 (07-11-13) 34 SMSC EMC1184
DATASHEET
The Therm Limit Registers are used to determine whether a critical thermal event has occurred. If the
measured temperature exceeds the Therm Limit, the THERM pin is asserted. The limit setting must
match the chosen data format of the temperature reading registers.
Unlike the ALERT / THERM2 pin, the THERM pin cannot be masked. Additionally, the THERM pin will
be released once the temperature drops below the corresponding threshold minus the Therm
Hysteresis.
6.10 External Diode Fault Register 1Bh
The External Diode Fault Register indicates which of the external diodes caused the FAULT bit in the
Status Register to be set. This register is cleared when it is read.
Bit 3 - E3FLT - This bit is set if the External Diode 3 channel reported a diode fault.
Bit 2 - E2FLT - This bit is set if the External Diode 2 channel reported a diode fault.
Bit 1 - E1FLT - This bit is set if the External Diode 1 channel reported a diode fault.
6.11 Channel Mask Register 1Fh
The Channel Mask Register controls individual channel masking. When a channel is masked, the
ALERT / THERM2 pin will not be asserted when the masked channel reads a diode fault or out of limit
error. The channel mask does not mask the
THERM pin.
Bit 3 - E3MASK - Masks the ALERT / THERM2pin from asserting when the External Diode 3 channel
is out of limit or reports a diode fault.
‘0’ (default) - The External Diode 3 channel will cause the ALERT / THERM2pin to be asserted if
it is out of limit or reports a diode fault.

‘1’ - The External Diode 3 channel will not cause the ALERT / THERM2pin to be asserted if it is
out of limit or reports a diode fault.
Bit 2 - E2MASK - Masks the ALERT / THERM2pin from asserting when the External Diode 2 channel
is out of limit or reports a diode fault.
‘0’ (default) - The External Diode 2 channel will cause the ALERT / THERM2pin to be asserted if
it is out of limit or reports a diode fault.
‘1’ - The External Diode 2 channel will not cause the ALERT / THERM2 pin to be asserted if it is
out of limit or reports a diode fault.
Bit 1 - E1MASK - Masks the ALERT / THERM2 pin from asserting when the External Diode 1 channel
is out of limit or reports a diode fault.
‘0’ (default) - The External Diode 1 channel will cause the ALERT / THERM2 pin to be asserted if
it is out of limit or reports a diode fault.
‘1’ - The External Diode 1 channel will not cause the ALERT / THERM2 pin to be asserted if it is
out of limit or reports a diode fault.
Bit 0 - INTMASK - Masks the ALERT / THERM2 pin from asserting when the Internal Diode
temperature is out of limit.
‘0’ (default) - The Internal Diode channel will cause the ALERT / THERM2 pin to be asserted if it
is out of limit.
‘1’ - The Internal Diode channel will not cause the ALERT / THERM2 pin to be asserted if it is out
of limit.
6.12 Consecutive ALERT Register 22h
The Consecutive ALERT Register determines how many times an out-of-limit error or diode fault must
be detected in consecutive measurements before the
ALERT / THERM2 or THERM pin is asserted.
Additionally, the Consecutive ALERT Register controls the SMBus Timeout functionality.
An out-of-limit condition (i.e. HIGH, LOW, or FAULT) occurring on the same temperature channel in
consecutive measurements will increment the consecutive alert counter. The counters will also be reset
if no out-of-limit condition or diode fault condition occurs in a consecutive reading.
When the ALERT / THERM2 pin is configured as an interrupt, when the consecutive alert counter
reaches its programmed value, the following will occur: the STATUS bit(s) for that channel and the last
error condition(s) (i.e. E1HIGH, or E2LOW and/or E2FAULT) will be set to ‘1’, the
ALERT / THERM2
pin will be asserted, the consecutive alert counter will be cleared, and measurements will continue.
When the ALERT / THERM2 pin is configured as a comparator, the consecutive alert counter will
ignore diode fault and low limit errors and only increment if the measured temperature exceeds the
High Limit. Additionally, once the consecutive alert counter reaches the programmed limit, the
ALERT/
THERM2 pin will be asserted, but the counter will not be reset. It will remain set until the temperature
drops below the High Limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
For example, if the CALRT[2:0] bits are set for 4 consecutive alerts on an EMC1184 device, the high
limits are set at 70°C, and none of the channels are masked, the
ALERT / THERM2 pin will be
asserted after the following four measurements:

1. Internal Diode reads 71°C and both external diodes read 69°C. Consecutive alert counter for INT
is incremented to 1.
2. Both the Internal Diode and External Diode 1 read 71°C and External Diode 2 reads 68°C.
Consecutive alert counter for INT is incremented to 2 and for EXT1 is set to 1.
3. The External Diode 1 reads 71°C and both the Internal Diode and External Diode 2 read 69°C.
Consecutive alert counters for INT and EXT2 are cleared and EXT1 is incremented to 2.
4. The Internal Diode reads 71°C and both external diodes read 71°C. Consecutive alert counter for
INT is set to 1, EXT2 is set to 1, and EXT1 is incremented to 3.
5. The Internal Diode reads 71°C and both the external diodes read 71°C. Consecutive alert counter
for INT is incremented to 2, EXT2 is set to 2, and EXT1 is incremented to 4. The appropriate status
bits are set for EXT1 and the ALERT / THERM2 pin is asserted. EXT1 counter is reset to 0 and
all other counters hold the last value until the next temperature measurement.
Bit 7 - TIMEOUT - Determines whether the SMBus Timeout function is enabled.
‘0’ (default) - The SMBus Timeout feature is disabled. The SMCLK line can be held low indefinitely
without the device resetting its SMBus protocol.
‘1’ - The SMBus Timeout feature is enabled. If the SMCLK line is held low for more than t
TIMEOUT
,
the device will reset the SMBus protocol.
Bits 6-4 - CTHRM[2:0] - Determines the number of consecutive measurements that must exceed the
corresponding Therm Limit before the THERM pin is asserted. All temperature channels use this value
to set the respective counters. The consecutive Therm counter is incremented whenever any
measurement exceed the corresponding Therm Limit.
If the temperature drops below the Therm Limit, the counter is reset. If a number of consecutive
measurements above the Therm Limit occurs, the THERM pin is asserted low.
Once the THERM pin has been asserted, the consecutive therm counter will not reset until the
corresponding temperature drops below the Therm Limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
The bits are decoded as shown in Table 6.14. The default setting is 4 consecutive out of limit
conversions.
Bits 3-1 - CALRT[2:0] - Determine the number of consecutive measurements that must have an out of
limit condition or diode fault before the ALERT / THERM2 pin is asserted. All temperature channels
use this value to set the respective counters. The bits are decoded as shown in Ta bl e 6.14. The default
setting is 1 consecutive out of limit conversion.
