UPPER/LOWER/CRITICAL

TEMPERATURE LIMIT REGISTERS

(TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT)

The MCP9844 device has a 16-bit read/write Event

Output Temperature Upper-Boundary Trip register

(TUPPER), a 16-bit Lower-Boundary Trip register

(TLOWER) and a 16-bit Critical Boundary Trip register

(TCRIT) that contains 11-bit data in two’s complement

format (0.25°C). This data represents the maximum

and minimum temperature boundary or temperature

window that can be used to monitor ambient

temperature. If this feature is enabled (Section 5.1.2

“Sensor Configuration Register (CONFIG)”

) and the

ambient temperature exceeds the specified boundary

or window, the MCP9844 asserts an event output.
