Datasheet
The Configuration register is 8 bits, read/write, and con-
tains the SMBus timeout disable bit, fault queue enable
bit, the temperature alarm output polarity select bits, the
interrupt mode select bit, and the shutdown bit. Registers
T
HIGH
and T
LOW
are 16 bits, read/write, and contain the
values that trigger ALERT. Register T
HYST
is 16 bits,
read/write, and contains the values by which the tem-
perature must rise or fall beyond T
HIGH
or T
LOW
, before
ALERT deasserts.
Control Registers (MAX6635)
Seven registers control the operation of the MAX6635
(Figure 7 and Tables 2 through 7). The Pointer regis-
ter is the first addressed and determines which of the
other six registers is acted upon. The other six are the
Temperature, Configuration, High-Temperature (T
HIGH
),
Low-Temperature (T
LOW
), Maximum Temperature
(T
MAX
), and Hysteresis (T
HYST
) registers. The tem-
perature value is stored as 12 bits plus a sign bit, read
only, and contains the latest temperature data. The true
register length is 16 bits, with the lower three used as
status bits. The digital temperature data contained in the
temperature register is in °C, using a two's-complement
format with 1 LSB corresponding to 0.0625°C.
The configuration register is 8 bits, read/write, and
contains the SMBus timeout disable bit, fault queue
enable bit, the temperature alarm output polarity select
bits, the interrupt mode select bit, and the shutdown
