DS75 
 9 of 14 
CONFIGURATION REGISTER 
The configuration register allows the user to program various DS75 options such as conversion 
resolution, thermostat fault tolerance, thermostat polarity, thermostat operating mode, and shutdown 
mode. The configuration register is arranged as shown in Figure 5 and detailed descriptions of each bit 
are provided in Table 4. The user has read/write access to all bits in the configuration register except the 
MSb, which is a reserved read-only bit. The entire register is volatile, and thus powers–up in its default 
state.

Table 4. CONFIGURATION REGISTER BIT DESCRIPTIONS 
BIT NAME  FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 
0 
Reserved 
Power-up state = 0 
The master can write to this bit, but it will always read out as a 0. 
R1 
Conversion Resolution Bit 1 
Power-up state = 0 
Sets conversion resolution (see Table 5) 
R0 
Conversion Resolution Bit 0 
Power-up state = 0 
Sets conversion resolution (see Table 5) 
F1 
Thermostat Fault Tolerance Bit 1 
Power-up state = 0 
Sets the thermostat fault tolerance (see Table 6). 
F0 
Thermostat Fault Tolerance Bit 0 
Power-up state = 0 
Sets the thermostat fault tolerance (see Table 6). 
POL 
Thermostat Output (O.S.) Polarity 
Power-up state = 0 
POL = 0 — O.S. is active low. 
POL = 1 — O.S. is active high. 
TM 
Thermostat Operating Mode 
Power-up state = 0 
TM = 0 — Comparator mode. 
TM = 1 — Interrupt mode. 
See the OPERATION–Thermostat section for a detailed description 
of these modes. 
SD 
Shutdown 
Power-up state = 0 
SD = 0 — Active conversion and thermostat operation. 
SD = 1 — Shutdown mode. 
See the SHUTDOWN MODE section for a detailed description of 
this mode.
