5.3.4 TEMPERATURE LIMIT-SET
REGISTER (T
SET
)
The MCP9800/1/2/3 has a 16-bit read/write
Temperature Limit-Set register (T
SET
) which contains a
9-bit data in two’s compliment format. This data
represents a maximum temperature limit. If the ambient
temperature exceeds this specified limit, the
MCP9800/1/2/3 asserts an alert output. (Refer to
Section 5.3.4.3 “ALERT Output Configuration”).
This register uses the nine Most Significant bits (MSbs)
and all other bits are “don’t cares”.
The power-up default value of the T
SET
register is
80°C, or <0101 0000 0>b in binary.
