CONVERSION SEQUENCE
The LM95234 takes approximately 190 ms to convert the Local Temperature, Remote Temperatures 1 through
4, and to update all of its registers. These conversions for each thermal diode are addressed in a round robin
sequence. Only during the conversion process the busy bit (D7) in Status register (02h) is high. The conversion
rate may be modified by the Conversion Rate bits found in the Configuration Register (03h). When the
conversion rate is modified a delay is inserted between each round of conversions, the actual time for each
round remains at 190 ms (typical all channels enabled). The time a round takes depends on the number of
channels that are on. Different conversion rates will cause the LM95234 to draw different amounts of average
supply current as shown in Figure 8. This curve assumes all the channels are on. If channels are turned off the
average current will drop since the round robin time will decrease and the shutdown time will increase during
each conversion interval.
