AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

The MCP9804 uses a band gap temperature sensor

circuit to output analog voltage proportional to absolute

temperature. An internal

ΔΣ ADC is used to convert the

analog voltage to a digital word. The digital word is

loaded to a 16-bit read-only Ambient Temperature

(TA) that contains 13-bit temperature data in

two’s complement format.

The TA register bits (bits 12 thru 0) are double-buffered.

Therefore, the user can access the register while, in the

background, the MCP9804 performs an analog-to-

digital conversion. The temperature data from the

ΔΣ

ADC is loaded in parallel to the TA register at tCONV

refresh rate.

In addition, the TA register uses three bits (bits 15, 14

and 13) to reflect the Alert pin state. This allows the

user to identify the cause of the Alert output trigger (see

Section 5.2.3); bit 15 is set to ‘1’ if T

A is greater than or

equal to TCRIT, bit 14 is set to ‘1’ if TA is greater than

TUPPER and bit 13 is set to ‘1’ if TA is less than TLOWER.

The

TA register bit assignment and boundary

conditions are described in Register 5-4.

Ambient Temperature (TA) Bits: (Note 2)

12-bit Ambient Temperature data in two’s complement format.

Note 1: Bits 15, 14 and 13 are not affected by the status of the Alert output configuration (bits 5 to 0 of CONFIG)

(Register 5-2).

2: Bits 2, 1, and 0 may remain clear '0' depending on the status of the resolution register (Register 5-7).

The Power-up default is 0.25°C/bit, bits 1 and 0 remain clear '0'.
