+The LM75, LM75A, and DS75 have a programmable high temperature limit.
+When this is exceeded, the device asserts an over-temperature output.
+.Pp
+The LM77 has programmable low and high temperature limits.
+Exceeding either of these causes the device to assert an interrupt output.
+It also has a programmable critical high temperature limit, and
+exceeding this causes the device to assert a separate critical alarm
+output.
