FAULT QUEUE

In order to suppress erroneous ALERT or T_CRIT triggering the LM99 incorporates a Fault Queue. The Fault

Queue acts to insure a remote temperature measurement is genuinely beyond a HIGH, LOW or T_CRIT setpoint

by not triggering until three consecutive out of limit measurements have been made, see Figure 15. The fault

queue defaults off upon power-on and may be activated by setting bit D0 in the Configuration register (09h) to

“1”.

ONE-SHOT REGISTER

The One-Shot register is used to initiate a single conversion and comparison cycle when the device is in standby

mode, after which the device returns to standby. This is not a data register and it is the write operation that

causes the one-shot conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and is not stored. A zero will

always be read from this register.
