The serial interface is the only active circuitry in the sleep mode in order to provide access to the

digital registers.

After resetting the SM bit to 0, the device enters the continuous conversion mode.

Interrupt Mode

The interrupt mode bit defines whether the device operates in the temperature comparator mode or

the interrupt mode. This defines the operation of the ALERT output as described in the polarity section

bit.

Interrupt Mode

The comparator mode is characterized that if the temperature value exceeds the THIGH value, the

alert output is changed (e.g. from high to low if the polarity bit is set to 0 and vice versa). The alert

output stays in that condition until the measured temperature drops below the defined TLOW value.

The interrupt mode is characterized that it changes the alert output as soon as the measured

temperature crosses the THIGH or TLOW value threshold.

The alert bit has the same setting as the alert output if the device is set to comparator mode.
