5.3.2 ALERT HYSTERESIS REGISTER
This device integrates four individually controlled
temperature Alert Hysteresis registers for each alert
output, with a range of 0°C to 255°C.
The alert hysteresis directions are set using bit 3 of the
corresponding Alert Configuration registers
(Register 5-10) to detect rising or falling temperatures.
For rising temperatures, hysteresis range is below the
alert limit where as for falling temperatures, the hyster-
esis range is above the alert limit as shown on
Figure 5-10.
