READ VOLTAGE AND/OR CURRENT DATA BYTES
Depending on how the device is configured, the ADM1175
can be set up to provide information in three ways: voltage
and current readback, voltage only readback, and current
only readback. See the Write Command Byte section for
more details.
Voltage and Current Readback
The ADM1175 digitizes both voltage and current. Three bytes
are read back in the format shown in Table 12.

Voltage Readback
The ADM1175 digitizes voltage only. Two bytes are read back in
the format shown in Table 13.

The following series of events occurs when the master receives
three bytes (voltage and current data) from the slave device:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address, followed
by the read bit (high).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge
on SDA.
4. The master receives the first data byte.
5. The master asserts acknowledge on SDA.
6. The master receives the second data byte.
7. The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.
8. The master receives the third data byte.
9. The master asserts a no acknowledge on SDA.
10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA, and
the transaction ends.
For cases where the master is reading voltage only or current
only, only two data bytes are read and Step 7 and Step 8 are not
required.

Converting ADC Codes to Voltage and Current Readings
Equation 10 and Equation 11 can be used to convert ADC
codes representing voltage and current from the ADM1175
12-bit ADC into actual voltage and current values.
Voltage = (V
FULLSCALE
/4096) × Code (10)
where:
V
FULLSCALE
= 6.65 V (7:2 range) or 26.35 V (14:1 range).
Code is the ADC voltage code read from the device
(Bit V11 to V0).
Current = ((I
FULLSCALE
/4096) × Code)/Sense Resistor (11)
where:
I
FULLSCALE
= 105.84 mV.
Code is the ADC current code read from the device
(Bit I11 to Bit I0).
Read Status Register
A single register of status data can also be read from the
ADM1175 as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
read bit (high).
3. The addressed slave device asserts an acknowledge on
SDA.
4. The master receives the status byte.
5. The master asserts an acknowledge on SDA.

Figure 40. Status Read from ADM1175
Table 15 shows the ADM1175 STATUS registers in detail. Note
that Bit 1, Bit 3, and Bit 5 are cleared by writing to Bit 4 (the
CLEAR bit) of the ALERT_EN register.
