SENSOR CONFIGURATION

The MCP98244 device has a 16-bit Configuration reg-

ister (CONFIG) that allows the user to set various func-

tions for a robust temperature monitoring system. Bits

10 thru 0 are used to select Event output boundary

hysteresis, device Shutdown or Low-Power mode,

temperature boundary and critical temperature lock, or

temperature Event output enable/disable. In addition,

the user can select the Event output condition (output

set for TUPPER and TLOWER temperature boundary or

TCRIT only), read Event output status and set Event

output polarity and mode (Comparator Output or

Interrupt Output mode).

The temperature hysteresis bits 10 and 9 can be used

prevent output chatter when the ambient

temperature

gradually

changes

beyond

the

user-specified

temperature

boundary

(see

Section 5.2.2 “Temperature Hysteresis (THYST)”.

The Continuous Conversion or Shutdown mode is

selected using bit 8. In Shutdown mode, the band gap

temperature

sensor

circuit

stops

converting

temperature and the Ambient Temperature register

(TA) holds the previous successfully converted

temperature data (see Section 5.2.1 “Shutdown

Mode”). Bits 7 and 6 are used to lock the

user-specified boundaries TUPPER, TLOWER and TCRIT

to prevent an accidental rewrite. Bits 5 thru 0 are used

to configure the temperature Event output pin. All

functions

are

described

(see

Section 5.2.3 “Event Output Configuration”).

Legend:

R = Readable bit

W = Writable bit

U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’

-n = Value at POR

‘1’ = Bit is set

‘0’ = Bit is cleared

x = Bit is unknown

bit 15-11

Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’

bit 10-9

TUPPER and TLOWER Limit Hysteresis (THYST):

00 =0°C (power-up default)

01 =1.5°C

10 =3.0°C

11 =6.0°C

(Refer to Section 5.2.3 “Event Output Configuration”)

This bit can not be altered when either of the lock bits are set (bit 6 and bit 7).

This bit can be programmed in Shutdown mode.

bit 8

Shutdown Mode (SHDN):

0 = Continuous Conversion (power-up default)

1 = Shutdown (Low-Power mode)

In shutdown, all power-consuming activities are disabled, though all registers can be written to or read.

Event output will deassert.

This bit cannot be set ‘1’ when either of the lock bits is set (bit 6 and bit 7). However, it can be cleared

‘0’ for Continuous Conversion while locked (Refer to Section 5.2.1 “Shutdown Mode”).
