Temperature Offset Registers

ADT7463/ADT7476 Backwards Compatible Mode
temperature measurements are stored in the zone temperature
reading registers (0x25, 0x26, and 0x27) in twos complement
in the −63°C to +127°C range. The temperature limits must
be reprogrammed in twos complement.
entered, the temperature is clamped to −63°C. In this mode,
the diode fault condition remains −128°C = 1000 0000,
while in the extended temperature range (−63°C to +191°C),
the fault condition is represented by −64°C = 0000 0000.

Temperature Limit Registers
are high and low limit registers. Exceeding the programmed
high or low limit causes the appropriate status bit to be set.
Exceeding either limit can also generate SMBALERT
interrupts (depending on the way the interrupt mask register
is programmed and assuming that SMBALERT is set as an
output on the appropriate pin).

Reading Temperature from the ADT7476
the ADT7476 as an 8−bit value (with 1°C resolution) or as
a 10−bit value (with 0.25°C resolution). If only 1°C
resolution is required, the temperature readings can be read
back at any time and in no particular order.
2−register read for each measurement. Extended Resolution
Register 2 (0x77) should be read first. This causes all
temperature reading registers to be frozen until all
temperature reading registers have been read from. This
prevents an MSB reading from being updated while its two
LSBs are being read and vice versa.
Additional ADC Functions for Temperature
Measurement
ADT7476 to offer the system designer increased flexibility.
Turn−Off Averaging
register, 16 readings have actually been made internally, and
the results averaged, before being placed into the value
register. Sometimes it is necessary to take a very fast
measurement. Setting Bit 4 of Configuration Register 2
(0x73) turns averaging off. The default round robin cycle
time takes 146.5 ms.
default round robin cycle time increases to 240 ms.
Single−Channel ADC Conversions
ADT7476 into single−channel ADC conversion mode. In
this mode, the ADT7476 can be made to read a single
temperature channel only. The appropriate ADC channel is
selected by writing to Bits [7:5] of the TACH1 minimum
high byte register (0x55).
