temperature rises above the T
OS
value. OS is deassert-
ed when the temperature drops below the T
HYST
value.
See Figure 4. Set bit D1 to 1 to run the over-tempera-
ture shutdown block in interrupt mode. OS is asserted
in interrupt mode when the temperature rises above the
T
OS
value or falls below the T
HYST
value. OS is
deasserted only after performing a read operation.
Set bit D0, the shutdown bit, to zero for normal opera-
tion. Set bit D0 to 1 to shut down the MAX7500/
MAX7501/MAX7502 internal blocks, dropping the sup-
ply current to 3µA. The I
2
C interface remains active as
long as the shutdown bit is set. The T
OS
, T
HYST
, and
configuration registers can still be written to and read
from while in shutdown.
T
OS
and T
HYST
Registers
In comparator mode, the OS output behaves like a ther-
mostat. The output asserts when the temperature rises
above the limit set in the T
OS
register. The output
deasserts when the temperature falls below the limit set
in the T
HYST
register. In comparator mode, the OS output
can be used to turn on a cooling fan, initiate an emer-
gency shutdown signal, or reduce system clock speed.
In interrupt mode, exceeding T
OS
also asserts OS. OS
remains asserted until a read operation is performed on
any of the registers. Once OS has asserted due to
crossing above T
OS
and is then reset, it is asserted
again only when the temperature drops below T
HYST
.
The output remains asserted until it is reset by a read.
Putting the MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502 into shut-
down mode also resets OS.
The T
OS
and T
HYST
registers are accessed with 2
bytes, with bits D15–D7 containing the data. Bits
D6–D0 are don’t cares when writing to these two regis-
ters and read-back zeros when reading from these reg-
isters. The LSB represents 0.5°C while the MSB
represents 64°C. See Table 7.
