TMP102EVM Software Overview
When the TMP102EVM software is in Interrupt Mode, the Alert pin does not automatically clear after it
falls below the T
LOW
Register limit. Instead, the user must either select the Read All Reg button or put the
device into Shutdown mode, described in
. After the Read All Reg button is selected, or the
device is put into Shutdown Mode, the Alert pin clears when the measured temperature drops down below
the T
LOW
Register.

Conversion Rate
The Conversion Rate selection box (shown in
) allows the user to change how long each
temperature conversion takes the TMP102 to perform. The user may want to select a slower conversion
time, as shown in
, to make the TMP102 consume less power.

Fault Queue
The fault queue drop-down box allows the user to configure how many faults must be triggered before the
Alert pin is activated, as shown in
. A fault is generated whenever the TMP102 T
HIGH
Register is
exceeded by the Temperature Register. This feature can be useful to prevent the TMP102 from triggering
on temperature spikes that the user may not want to trigger with the Alert pin.
