R1HIGH
0
If set, indicates the processor core 1 thermal diode high
temperature alarm has activated.
3
R1LOW
0
If set, indicates the processor core 1 thermal diode low
temperature alarm has activated.
2

Function
7 (MSB)
MASK
0
Mask SM_ALERT# bit. Clear the bit to allow interrupts
via SM_ALERT# and allow the thermal sensor to
respond to the ARA command when an alarm is active.
Set the bit to disable interrupt mode. The bit is not used
to clear the state of the SM_ALERT# output. An ARA
command may not be recognized if the mask is enabled.
6
RUN/STOP
0
Stand-by mode control bit. If set, the device
immediately stops converting and enters stand-by
mode. It will perform new temperature measurements
when a one-shot is performed. If cleared, the device
automatically updates on a timed basis.
5
AL/TH
0
This bit selects the function of pin 13. Default = 0 =
ALERT. Always set this bit to 0.
