The Critical Temperature Limit Registers store the Critical Temperature Limit. At power up, none of the
respective channels are linked to the SYS_SHDN pin or the Hardware set Thermal/Critical Shutdown
circuitry.
Whenever one of the registers is updated, two things occur. First, the register is locked so that it cannot
be updated again without a power on reset. Second, the respective temperature channel is linked to
the SYS_SHDN pin and the Hardware set Thermal/Critical Shutdown Circuitry. At this point, if the
measured temperature channel exceeds the Critical limit, the SYS_SHDN pin will be asserted, the
appropriate bit set in the Tcrit Status Register, and the TCRIT bit in the Interrupt Status Register will
be set.

The Configuration Register controls the basic functionality of the EMC2103. The bits are described
below.
Bit 7 - MASK - Blocks the ALERT pin from being asserted.
„ ‘0’ (default) - The ALERT pin is unmasked. If any bit in either status register is set, the ALERT pin
will be asserted (unless individually masked via the Mask Register)
„ ‘1’ - The ALERT pin is masked and will not be asserted.
Bit 3 - SYS3 (EMC2103-2 only) - Enables the high temperature limit for the External Diode 3 channel
to trigger the Critical / Thermal Shutdown circuitry (see Section 5.1).
„ ‘0’ (default) - the External Diode 3 channel high limit will not be linked to the SYS_SHDN pin. If the
temperature meets or exceeds the limit, the ALERT pin will be asserted normally.
„ ‘1’ - the External Diode 3 channel high limit will be linked to the SYS_SHDN pin. If the temperature
meets or exceeds the limit then the SYS_SHDN pin will be asserted. The SYS_SHDN# pin will be
released when the temperature drops below the high limit. The ALERT pin will be asserted
normally.
Bit 2 - SYS2 (EMC2103-2 only) - Enables the high temperature limit for the External Diode 2 channel
to trigger the Critical / Thermal Shutdown circuitry (see Section 5.1).
