The TMP101 datasheet labels the low limit "low" but it is really a hysteresis, as is clear from figure 4 (which is essentially identical to Figure 4 in the LM75 datasheet). Recall that "comparator" mode is the standard for all our drivers. Does the LM75 driver work for you? I don't see why it wouldn't... please try it and let us know. The one interesting difference is the TMP101 has extended precision. That may be worth supporting, although whether that would be better added to the lm75 driver as an option or creating a new driver is an open question... mds
