External Temperature Offset Register (Read/Write)
[Add. = 20h]
This register contains the offset value for the external temp-
erature channel. A twos complement number can be written to
this register, which is then added to the measured result before
it is stored or compared to limits. In this way, a one-point cali-
bration can be done whereby the whole transfer function of the
channel can be moved up or down. From a software point of
view, this may be a very simple method to vary the charac-
teristics of the measurement channel if the thermal charac-
teristics change. Because it is an 8-bit register, the temperature
resolution is 1°C.

Internal Analog Temperature Offset Register
(Read/Write) [Add. = 21h]
This register contains the offset value for the internal thermal
voltage output. A twos complement number can be written to
this register, which is then added to the measured result before
it is converted by DAC A. Varying the value in this register has
the effect of varying the temperature span. For example, the
output voltage can represent a temperature span of –128°C to
+127°C or even 0°C to +127°C. In essence, this register changes
the position of 0 V on the temperature scale. Temperatures
other than –128°C to +127°C will produce an upper deadband
on the DAC A output. Because it is an 8-bit register, the
temperature resolution is 1°C. The default value is –40°C.

External Analog Temperature Offset Register
(Read/Write) [Add. = 22h]
This register contains the offset value for the external thermal
voltage output. A twos complement number can be written to
this register which is then added to the measured result before it
is converted by DAC B. Varying the value in this register has the
effect of varying the temperature span. For example, the output
voltage can represent a temperature span of –128°C to +127°C
or even 0°C to +127°C. In essence, this register changes the
position of 0 V on the temperature scale. Temperatures other
than –128°C to +127°C will produce an upper deadband on the
DAC B output. Because it is an 8-bit register, the temperature
resolution is 1°C. The default value is –40°C.

Limit Register (Read/Write) [Add. = 23h]
This limit register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the
V
DD
upper limit, which will cause an interrupt and activate the
INT/INT output (if enabled). For this to happen, the measured
V
DD
value has to be greater than the value in this register. The
default value is 5.46 V.

Limit Register (Read/Write) [Add. = 24h]
This limit register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the

V

Limit Register (Read/Write) [Add. = 25h]
This limit register is an 8-bit read/write register that stores the
twos complement of the internal temperature upper limit,
which will cause an interrupt and activate the INT/INT output
(if enabled). For this to happen, the measured internal temp-
erature value has to be greater than the value in this register.
Because it is an 8-bit register, the temperature resolution is 1°C.
The default value is +100°C.
