Functional Description (Continued)

7.0 TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

The LM79 bandgap type temperature sensor and ADC per-

form 8-bit two’s-complement conversions of the tempera-

ture. A digital comparator is also incorporated that compares

the readings to the user-programmable Overtemperature

setpoint and Hysteresis values.

7.1 Temperature Data Format

Temperature data can be read from the Temperature, T

OI Set

Point, and T

HYST Set Point registers; and written to the TOI

Set Point, and T

HYST Set Point registers. Temperature data

is represented by an 8-bit, two’s complement word with an

LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to 1.0˚C:

7.2 Temperature Interrupts

The normal mode for temperature interrupts in the LM79 is

an “Interrupt” mode operating in the following way: Exceed-

ing T

OI causes an interrupt that will remain active indefinitely

until reset by reading Interrupt Status Register 1. Once an

interrupt event has occurred by crossing T

OI, then reset, an

interrupt will only occur again by the temperature going

below T

HYST. Again, it will remain active indefinitely until

being reset by reading Interrupt Status Register 1.

A “Comparator” mode for temperature interrupts can be

made available by setting the T

HYST limit to 127˚C. This

results in a simple “thermostat” type of function where an

interrupt will be set whenever the temperature exceeds the

OI limit. Reading Interrupt Status Register 1 will clear the

interrupt as usual, but the interrupt will set again after the

completion of another measurement cycle. It will remain set

until the temperature goes below the T

OI limit (allow up to

two measurement cycles for clearing after descending below

OI while in Comparator mode).

*Note: Interrupt resets occur only when interrupt Status Register 1 is read.

(a) Interrupt Mode

DS100036-20

Interrupt resets occur when Interrupt Status Register 1 is read but will set

again when monitoring cycle continues (as long as temperature exceeds

TOI). When temperature descends below TOI allow up to two monitoring

loops before the Temperature Interrupt resets.
