Temperature data format

Table 3 shows the relationship between the output digital data and the external temperature

for 12-bit resolution.

11-bit, and 12-bit depending upon the resolution bits RC1, RC0 (bits 6 and 5) in the

configuration register (see Table 7 on page 17). The default resolution is 9-bits.

The left-most hot in the output data stream controls temperature polarity information for

each conversion. If the sign bit is '0', the temperature is positive and of the sign bit is '1', the

temperature is negative.
