The INT/INT pin has an open-drain configuration that allows
the outputs of several devices to be wired-AND together when
the INT/INT pin is active low. Use C6 of the Control Config-
uration 1 register to set the active polarity of the INT/INT out-
put. The power-up default is active low. The INT/INT output
can be disabled or enabled by setting C5 of Control Configur-
ation 1 register to a 1 or 0, respectively.
The INT/INT output becomes active when either the internal
temperature value, the external temperature value, VDD value, or
any of the AIN input values exceed the values in their corres-
ponding THIGH/VHIGH or TLOW/VLOW registers. The INT/INT
output goes inactive again when a conversion result has the
measured value back within the trip limits and when the status
register associated with the out-of-limit event is read. The two
Interrupt Status registers show which event caused the INT/INT
pin to go active.

The INT/INT output requires an external pull-up resistor. This
can be connected to a voltage different from VDD, provided the
maximum voltage rating of the INT/INT output pin is not
exceeded. The value of the pull-up resistor depends on the
application, but should be as large enough to avoid excessive
sink currents at the INT/INT output, which can heat the chip
and affect the temperature reading.
SMBus Alert Response
The INT/INT pin behaves the same way as an SMBus alert pin
when the SMBus/I2C interface is selected. It is an open-drain
output and requires a pull-up to VDD. Several INT/INT outputs
can be wire-AND together, so that the common line will go low
if one or more of the INT/INT outputs goes low. The polarity of
the INT/INT pin must be set for active low for a number of
outputs to be wire-AND together.
