MAX31725/MAX31726
±0.5°C Local Temperature Sensors
Perform a read operation by issuing the slave address
byte (write), pointer byte, repeat START, another slave
address byte (read), and then reading the data byte.
After 2 data bytes the pointer register auto increments
and, if pointing to a valid address, additional data can be
read. See Figure 4.
Temperature Registers
Temperature data is stored in the temperature, TOS set
point, and THYST set point registers. The temperature
data format is 16 bits, two’s complement, and the register
is read out in 2 bytes: an upper byte and a lower byte.
Bits D[15:0] contains the temperature data, with the LSB
representing 0.00390625NC and the MSB representing
the sign bit; see Table 3. The MSB is transmitted first.
In addition to the normal two’s complement temperature
data format, the MAX31725 and MAX31726 offer an
optional extended data format that allows temperatures
equal to or greater than +128NC to be read. In the
extended format, selected by bit 5 of the configuration
register, the measured temperature is the value in the
temperature register plus 64NC, as shown in Table 4.
