READ ADDRESS REGISTER

Figure 7 shows the internal register structure of the

TMP122/TMP124. Table III describes the addresses of the

registers available. The READ address register uses the two

bits to identify which of the data registers should respond to

a read command. Following a complete 16-bit read, the

READ address register is reset to the default power-up state

of P1/P0 equal 0/0.

The user can obtain 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits of resolution by

addressing the Configuration Register and setting the reso-

lution bits accordingly. For 9-, 10-, or 11-bit resolution, the most

significant bits in the Temperature Register are used with the

unused LSBs set to zero.

CONFIGURATION REGISTER

The Configuration Register is a 16-bit read/write register

used to store bits that control the operational modes of the

temperature sensor. Read/write operations are performed

MSB first. The format of the Configuration Register for the

TMP122/TMP124 is shown in Table VI, followed by a break-

down of the register bits. The power-up/reset value of the

Configuration Register bits R1/R0 equal 1/1, all other bits

equal zero.

TABLE V. Temperature Data Format.

TEMPERATURE REGISTER

The Temperature Register of the TMP122/TMP124 is a 16-

bit, signed read-only register that stores the output of the

most recent conversion. The TMP122/TMP124 are speci-

fied for the temperature range of –40

°C to +125°C with

operation from –55

°C to +150°C. Up to 16 bits can be read

to obtain data and are described in Table IV. The first 13 bits

are used to indicate temperature where bit D2 is 1, and D1,

D0 are in a high impedance state. Data format for tempera-

ture is summarized in Table V. Following power-up or reset,

the Temperature Register will read 0

°C until the first conver-

sion is complete.

SHUTDOWN MODE (SD)

The Shutdown Mode of the TMP122/TMP124 can be used to

shut down all device circuitry except the serial interface.

Shutdown mode occurs when the last 8 bits of the WRITE

command are equal to 1, and will occur once the current

conversion is completed, reducing current consumption to

less than 1

µA. To take the part out of shutdown, send any

command or pattern after the 16-bit read with the last 8 bits

not equal to one. Power on default is in active mode.
