DS2436
PAGE 4 AND 5 COMMANDS
Convert T [D2h]
This command instructs the DS2436 to initiate a temperature conversion cycle. This sets the TB flag.
When the temperature conversion is done, the TB flag is reset and the temperature value is placed in the
Temperature Register. While a temperature conversion is taking place, all other memory functions are
still available for use, but the Temperature Register should not be read until the TB flag has been reset.
Convert V [B4h]
This command instructs the DS2436 to initiate a battery voltage analog-to-digital conversion cycle. This
sets the ADB flag. When the A/D conversion is done, the ADB flag is reset and the voltage value is
placed in the Voltage Register. While an A/D conversion is taking place, all other memory functions are
still available for use, but the Voltage Register should not be read until the ADB flag has been reset.
Read Registers [B2h]
This command reads the contents of the registers in Page 4 and 5. This command is followed by a start
byte address. After issuing this command and providing the start address, the user may begin reading the
data. The user may read data through the end of the register space (through address 78h in Page 4, address
83h in Page 5), after which the data read will be all logic 1s.
Increment Cycle [B5h]
This command increments the value in the Cycle Counter. This command does not use a start address; no
further data is required. Time between increments of the cycle counter should not be less than 10 ms.
Reset Cycle Counter [B8h]
This command is used to reset the Cycle Counter to 0, if desired.
