TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT

The ADT7482 has two temperature data formats. When the temperature measurement range is from 0°C to 127°C (default), the

temperature data format for both local and remote temperature results is binary.

When the measurement range is in extended mode, an offset binary data format is used for both local and remote results. Temperature

values in the offset binary data format are offset by +64. Examples of temperatures in both data formats are shown in Table 8.

Switching between measurement ranges can be done at any time. Switching the range also switches the data format. The next temperature

result following the switching is reported back to the register in the new format. However, the contents of the limit registers do not

change. Ensure that when the data format changes, the limit registers are reprogrammed as necessary. For more information, refer to the

Limit Registers section.
