9.3.1 Series Resistance Cancellation

Figure 11 shows series resistance in an application circuit that results from printed circuit board (PCB) trace resistance and remote line length. The TMP411 automatically cancels the resistance, which prevents a temperature offset.

The TMP411 device cancels up to 3 kΩ of series line resistance that eliminates the need for additional characterization and temperature offset correction.

See Figure 4 and Figure 5 for details on the effect of series resistance and power-supply voltage on sensed remote temperature error.

9.3.2 Differential Input Capacitance

The TMP411 tolerates differential input capacitance of up to 1000 pF with minimal change in temperature error. The effect of capacitance on sensed remote temperature error is shown in Figure 6.

9.3.3 Temperature Measurement Data

Temperature measurement data is taken over a default range of 0°C to 127°C for local and remote locations. Measurements from –55°C to +150°C can be made locally and remotely by reconfiguring the TMP411 device for the extended temperature range. To change the TMP411 configuration from the standard to the extended temperature range, switch bit 2 (RANGE) of the Configuration Register from low to high.

Temperature data resulting from conversions within the default measurement range are represented in binary form, as listed in the standard binary column of Table 1. Note that any temperature below 0°C results in a data value of zero (00h). Likewise, temperatures above 127°C results in a value of 127 (7Fh). The device can be set to measure over an extended temperature range by changing bit 2 of the Configuration Register from low to high. The change in measurement range and data format from standard binary to extended binary occurs at the next temperature conversion. For data captured in the extended temperature range configuration, an offset of 64 (40h) is added to the standard binary value, as listed in the extended binary column in Table 1. This configuration allows measurement of temperatures below 0°C. It is possible to have binary values in the range of –64°C to +191°C, but most temperature-sensing diodes measure in the range of –55°C to +150°C. The TMP411 device is rated only for ambient local temperatures ranging from –40°C to +125°C. Parameters in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table must be observed.

9.3.4 THERM (Pin 4) and ALERTor THERM2 (Pin 6)

The THERM and ALERT or THERM2 pins on the TMP411 device are dedicated to alarm functions. The pins are open-drain outputs that each require a pullup resistor to V+. These pins can be wire-ORed together with other alarm pins for system monitoring of multiple sensors. The THERM pin provides a thermal interrupt that cannot be software disabled. The ALERT pin is an earlier warning interrupt, and can be software disabled or masked. The ALERT or THERM2 pin can be configured as aTHERM2 pin, which is a second THERM pin (Configuration Register: AL or TH bit = 1). The default setting configures pin 6 to function as an ALERT pin (AL or TH = 0).

The THERM pin asserts low when the measured local or remote temperature is outside of the temperature range programmed in the corresponding Local and Remote THERM Limit Register. The THERM temperature limit range can be programmed with a wider range than that of the limit registers, which allows the ALERTpin to provide an earlier warning than the THERM pin. The THERM alarm resets automatically when the measured temperature falls within the THERM temperature limit range minus the hysteresis value stored in the THERM Hysteresis Register. The permitted hysteresis values are listed in Table 10. The default hysteresis is 10°C. When the ALERT or THERM2 pin is configured as a second thermal alarm (Configuration Register: bit 7 = 0, bit 5 = 1), the pin functions the same as the THERM pin, but uses the temperatures stored in the Local and Remote Temperature High and Low Limit Registers to set the comparison range.

When ALERT or THERM2 (pin 6) is configured as an ALERT pin, (Configuration Register: bit 7 = 0, bit 5 = 0), the pin asserts low when the measured local or remote temperature violates the range limit set by the corresponding Local and Remote Temperature High and Low Limit Registers. The alert function configures to assert only if the range is violated a specified number of consecutive times (either one, two, three or four times). The consecutive violation limit is set in the Consecutive Alert Register. Required consecutive faults prevent false alerts that are caused by environmental noise. The ALERT pin asserts low if the remote temperature sensor is open-circuit. When the MASK function is enabled (Configuration Register: bit 7 = 1), the ALERT pin is disabled (that is, masked). TheALERT pin resets when the master reads the device address, as long as the condition that caused the alert no longer persists, and the Status Register is reset.

9.3.5 Sensor Fault

The TMP411 senses a fault at the D+ input resulting from an incorrect diode connection or an open circuit. The detection circuitry consists of a voltage comparator that trips when the voltage at D+ exceeds (V+) − 0.6 V (typical). The comparator output is checked during a conversion. If a fault is detected, the last valid measured temperature is the temperature measurement result, the OPEN bit (Status Register, bit 2) is set high, and the ALERT pin asserts low if the alert function is enabled.

The D+ and D− inputs must be connected together to prevent meaningless fault warnings when the TMP411 remote sensor is not in use.

9.3.6 Undervoltage Lockout

The TMP411 senses when the power-supply voltage reaches a minimum voltage level for the ADC converter to function. The detection circuitry consists of a voltage comparator that enables the ADC converter after the power supply (V+) exceeds 2.45 V (typical). The comparator output is checked during a conversion. The TMP411 does not perform a temperature conversion if the power supply is not valid. The last valid measured temperature is the temperature measurement result.

9.3.7 Filtering

Remote junction temperature sensors are typically implemented in a noisy environment. Noise is often created by fast digital signals that corrupt measurements. The TMP411 has a built-in 65-kHz filter on the D+ and D− inputs to minimize the effects of noise. TI recommends placing a bypass capacitor differentially across the sensor inputs to protect the application against unwanted coupled signals. The value of the capacitor must be between 100 pF and 1 nF. Some applications have better overall accuracy with additional series resistance, however, this increased accuracy is specific to the setup. When series resistance is added, the value must not be greater than 3 kΩ.

If filtering is needed, TI recommends component values of 100-pF and 50-Ω on each input. Exact values are specific to the application.

9.4.1 Shutdown Mode (SD)

The TMP411 shutdown mode saves maximum power by shutting down all device circuitry other than the serial interface, which reduces current consumption to typically less than 3 μA; see Figure 10. Shutdown mode is enabled when the shutdown bit (SD) of the Configuration Register is high; the device shuts down once the current conversion is completed. When shutdown is low, the device maintains a continuous conversion state.

9.4.2 One-Shot Conversion

When the TMP411 is in shutdown mode (SD = 1 in the Configuration Register), a single conversion on both channels starts by writing any value to the One-Shot Start Register (pointer address 0Fh). This write operation starts one conversion, and the TMP411 device returns to shutdown mode when the conversion is complete. The value of the data sent in the write command is irrelevant, and is not stored by the TMP411. When the TMP411 is in shutdown mode, an initial 200 μs is required before a one-shot command is given.

9.5.1 Serial Interface

The TMP411 operates only as a slave device on either the two-wire bus or the SMBus. Connections to either bus are made through the SDA and SCL open-drain I/O lines. The SDA and SCL pins feature integrated spike suppression filters and Schmitt triggers that minimize the effects of input spikes and bus noise. The TMP411 supports the transmission protocol for fast (1 kHz to 400 kHz) and high-speed (1 kHz to 3.4 MHz) modes. All data bytes are transmitted with the MSB first.

9.5.2 Bus Overview

The TMP411 is SMBus interface-compatible. In SMBus protocol, the device that initiates the transfer is a master, and the master controls devices known as slaves. The bus must be controlled by a master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions.

To address a specific device, a START condition is initiated. START is indicated by pulling the data line (SDA) from a high to low logic level while the SCL line is high. All slaves on the bus shift are in the slave address byte, with the last bit indicating if a read or write operation is needed. During the ninth clock pulse, the slave that is addressed responds to the master by generating an acknowledge bit and pulling the SDA line low.

Data transfer is then initiated and sent over eight clock pulses followed by an acknowledge bit. During data transfer, the SDA line must remain stable while the SCL is high. A change in the SDA while the SCL is high is interpreted as a control signal.

Once all data transfers, the master generates a STOP condition. STOP is indicated by pulling the SDA line from low to high, while the SCL line is high.

9.5.3 Timing Diagrams

The TMP411 is two-wire and SMBus-compatible. Figure 12 to Figure 16 describe the various operations on the TMP411. Parameters for Figure 12 are defined in the Timing Requirements section. Bus definitions are given below:

Bus Idle: Both SDA and SCL lines remain high.

Start Data Transfer: A change in the state of the SDA line, from high to low (while the SCL line is high) defines a START condition. A START condition initiates each data transfer.

Stop Data Transfer: A change in the state of the SDA line from low to high (while the SCL line is high) defines a STOP condition. A STOP or repeated START condition terminates each data transfer.

Data Transfer: The number of data bytes transferred between a START and a STOP condition is not limited and is determined by the master device. The receiver acknowledges the data transfer.

Acknowledge: Each receiving device (when addressed) is required to generate an acknowledge bit. A device that acknowledges must pull the SDA line down during the acknowledge clock pulse so the SDA line is stable and low during the high period of the acknowledge clock pulse. Setup and hold times must be taken into account. On a master receive, the master signals data transfer termination by generating a not-acknowledge bit transmitted by the slave.

9.5.4 Serial Bus Address

To communicate with the TMP411, the master must first address slave devices through a slave address byte. The slave address byte consists of seven address bits and a direction bit that indicates whether the operation is read or write. The address of the TMP411A is 4Ch (1001100b). The address of the TMP411B is 4Dh (1001101b). The address of the TMP411E is 4Ch (1001100b).

9.5.5 Read and Write Operations

To access a particular register on the TMP411, the appropriate value must be written to the Pointer Register. With the read and write bit low, the value for the Pointer Register is the first byte transferred after the slave address byte. Every write operation to the TMP411 requires a value for the Pointer Register, as shown in Figure 13.

When reading from the TMP411, the last value stored in the Pointer Register by a write operation determines which register is read by a read operation. A new value must be written to the Pointer Register to change the register pointer for a read operation. This transaction is accomplished by issuing a slave address byte with the read and write bit low, followed by the Pointer Register byte. No additional data is required. The master then generates a START condition and sends the slave address byte with the read and write bit high to initiate the read command. See Figure 14 for details of this sequence. If repeated reads from the same register are desired, it is not necessary to continually send the Pointer Register bytes, because the TMP411 device retains the Pointer Register value until the next write operation changes the value. Note that the MSB sends the register bytes first, followed by the LSB.

9.5.6 Timeout Function

When bit 7 of the Consecutive Alert Register is set high, the TMP411 timeout function is enabled. The TMP411 device resets the serial interface if the SCL or SDA lines are held low for 30 ms (typical) between a START and STOP condition. If the TMP411 device is holding the bus low, the device releases the bus and waits for a START condition. To avoid activating the timeout function, it is necessary to maintain a communication speed of at least 1 kHz for the SCL operating frequency. The default state of the timeout function is enabled (bit 7 = high).

9.5.7 High-Speed Mode

For the two-wire bus to operate at frequencies above 400 kHz, the master device must issue a high-speed mode (Hs-mode) master code (00001XXX) as the first byte after a START condition to switch the bus to high-speed operation. The TMP411 device does not acknowledge this byte, but switches the input filters on the SDA and SCL lines, switches the output filter on SDA to operate in Hs-mode, which allows transfers at up to 3.4 MHz. After the Hs-mode master code is issued, the master transmits a two-wire slave address to initiate a data transfer operation. The bus operates in high-speed mode until a STOP condition occurs on the bus. The TMP411 switches the input and output filter after receiving the STOP condition.

9.5.8 General Call Reset

The TMP411 device supports reset through the two-wire general call address 00h (0000 0000b). The TMP411 device reads the general call address and responds to the second byte. If the second byte is 06h (0000 0110b), the TMP411 executes a software reset. The software reset restores the power-on-reset state to all TMP411 registers, aborts any conversion in progress, and clears the ALERT and THERM pins. The TMP411 does not respond to other values in the second byte.

9.5.9 Software Reset

The TMP411 resets by writing any value to Pointer Register FCh. This restores the power-on-reset state to all of the TMP411 registers, aborts any conversion in process, and clears the ALERT and THERM pins.

9.5.10 SMBus Alert Function

The TMP411 device supports the SMBus alert function. When pin 6 is configured as an alert output, the ALERT pin of the TMP411 can connect as an SMBus alert signal. When a master detects an alert condition on the ALERT line, the master sends an SMBus alert command (00011001) on the bus. If the ALERT pin of the TMP411 is active, the device acknowledges the SMBus alert command and returns the slave address on the SDA line. The eighth bit of the slave address byte indicates if the high limit or low limit temperature settings caused the alert condition. The bit is high if the temperature is greater than or equal to one of the temperature high limit settings; the bit is low if the temperature is less than one of the temperature low limit settings. See Figure 16 for details of this sequence.

If multiple devices on the bus respond to the SMBus alert command, arbitration during the slave address portion of the SMBus alert command determines which device clears the alert status. If the TMP411 wins the arbitration, the ALERT pin inactivates when the SMBus alert command is complete. If the TMP411 device loses the arbitration, the ALERT pin remains active.

Table 3. Register Map Summary

9.6.1 Register Information

The TMP411 contains multiple registers for holding configuration information, temperature measurement results, maximum and minimum temperature comparator limits, and status information. These registers are described in Figure 18 and Table 3.

9.6.2 Pointer Register

Figure 18 shows the internal register structure of the TMP411 . The 8-bit pointer register addresses a given data register. The Pointer Register identifies which of the data registers must respond to a read or write command on the two-wire bus. This register is set with every write command. A write command must be issued to set the proper value in the pointer register before executing a read command. Table 3 lists the pointer address of the registers available in the TMP411 . Offset registers 11 and 12 are only available for the TMP411E device . The power-on-reset (POR) value of the Pointer Register is 00h (0000 0000b).

Figure 18. Internal Register Structure

9.6.3 Temperature Registers

The TMP411 has four 8-bit registers that hold temperature measurement results. The local and remote channels have a high byte register that contains the most significant bits (MSBs) of the temperature analog-to-digital converter (ADC) result and a low byte register that contains the least significant bits (LSBs) of the temperature ADC result. The local channel high byte address is 00h; the local channel low byte address is 15h. The remote channel high byte is at address 01h; the remote channel low byte address is 10h. These registers are read-only and are updated by the ADC each time a temperature measurement is completed.

The TMP411 contains circuitry to assure that a low byte register read command returns data from the same ADC conversion as the immediately preceding high byte read command. This assurance remains valid only until another register is read. For proper operation, the high byte of a temperature register must be read first. The low byte register must be read in the next read command. The low byte register may be left unread if the LSBs are not needed. The temperature registers may be read as a 16-bit register using a single two-byte read command from address 00h for the local channel result, or from address 01h for the remote channel result. The high byte is read output first, followed by the low byte. Both bytes of this read operation are from the same ADC conversion. The power-on-reset value of both temperature registers is 00h.

9.6.4 Limit Registers

The TMP411 has 11 registers for setting comparator limits for the local and remote measurement channels. These registers have read and write capability. The High and Low Limit Registers for both channels span two registers, as do the temperature registers. The local temperature high limit is set by writing the high byte to pointer address 0Bh, writing the low byte to pointer address 16h, or by using a single two-byte write command (high byte first) to pointer address 0Bh. The local temperature high limit is read by the high byte from pointer address 05h, the low byte from pointer address 16h, or by using a two-byte read command from pointer address 05h. The power-on-reset value of the local temperature high limit is 55h or 00h. The power-on-reset value of the local temperature high limit is 55h or 00h (85°C in standard temperature mode and 21°C in extended temperature mode).

Similarly, the local temperature low limit is set by writing the high byte to pointer address 0Ch, writing the low byte to pointer address 17h, or by using a single two-byte write command to pointer address 0Ch. The local temperature low limit is read by the high byte from pointer address 06h, the low byte from pointer address 17h, or by using a two-byte read from pointer address 06h. The power-on-reset value of the local temperature low limit register is 00h (0°C in standard temperature mode, and −64°C in extended mode).

The remote temperature high limit is set by writing the high byte to pointer address 0Dh, writing the low byte to pointer address 13h, or by using a two-byte write command to pointer address 0Dh. The remote temperature high limit is read by the high byte from pointer address 07h, the low byte from pointer address 13h, or by using a two-byte read command from pointer address 07h. The power-on-reset value of the Remote Temperature High Limit Register is 55h or 00h (85°C in standard temperature mode, and 21°C in extended temperature mode).

The remote temperature low limit is set by writing the high byte to pointer address 0Eh,writing the low byte to pointer address 14h, or by using a two-byte write to pointer address 0Eh. The remote temperature low limit is read by the high byte from pointer address 08h, the low byte from pointer address 14h, or by using a two-byte read from pointer address 08h. The power-on-reset value of the Remote Temperature Low Limit Register is 00h (0°C in standard temperature mode, and −64°C in extended mode).

The TMP411 has a THERM limit register for the local and remote channels. These registers are eight bits and allow for THERM limits to be set to 1°C resolution. The local channel THERM limit is set by writing to pointer address 20h. The remote channel THERM limit is set by writing to pointer address 19h. The local channel THERM limit is read from pointer address 20h, and the remote channel THERM limit is read from pointer address 19h. The power-on-reset value of the THERM limit registers is 55h (85°C in standard temperature mode or 21°C in extended temperature mode). The THERM limit comparators have hysteresis. The hysteresis of the comparators is set by writing to pointer address 21h. The hysteresis value is obtained by reading from pointer address 21h. The Hysteresis Register value is an unsigned number that is always positive. The power-on-reset value of this register is 0Ah (10°C).

When changing between standard and extended temperature ranges, note that the temperatures stored in the temperature limit registers do not automatically reformat to correspond to the new temperature range format. These values must be reprogrammed in the appropriate binary or extended binary format.

9.6.5 Status Register

The TMP411 has a Status Register that reports the state of the temperature comparators. Table 4 lists the Status Register bits. The Status Register is read-only from pointer address 02h.

The BUSY bit reads as 1 if the ADC is making a conversion, and 0 if the ADC is not converting.

The OPEN bit reads as 1 if the remote transistor is detected as OPEN since the last read of the Status Register. The OPEN status is only detected when the ADC is attempting to convert a remote temperature.

The RTHRM bit reads as 1 if the remote temperature exceeds the remote THERM limit, remains greater than the remote THERM limit, and less than the value in the shared Hysteresis Register, as shown in Figure 17.

The LTHRM bit reads as 1 if the local temperature exceeds the local THERM limit, remains greater than the local THERM limit, and less than the value in the shared Hysteresis Register, as shown in Figure 17.

The LHIGH and RHIGH bit values depend on the state of the AL or TH bit in the Configuration Register. If the AL or TH bit is 0, the LHIGH bit reads as 1 if the local high limit was exceeded since the last clearing of the Status Register. The RHIGH bit reads as 1 if the remote high limit was exceeded since the last clearing of the Status Register. If the AL or TH bit is 1, the remote high limit and the local high limit implement a THERM2 function. LHIGH reads as 1 if the local temperature has exceeded the local high limit and remains greater than the local high limit, and less than the value in the Hysteresis Register.

The RHIGH bit reads as 1 if the remote temperature exceeds the remote high limit and remains greater than the remote high limit, and less than the value in the Hysteresis Register.

The LLOW and RLOW bits are not effected by the AL or TH bit. The LLOW bit reads as 1 if the local low limit was exceeded since the last clearing of the Status Register. The RLOW bit reads as 1 if the remote low limit was exceeded since the last clearing of the Status Register.

The values of the LLOW, RLOW, and OPEN (as well as LHIGH and RHIGH when AL or TH is 0) are latched and are read as 1 until the Status Register is read or a device reset occurs. These bits are cleared by reading the Status Register, provided that the condition causing the flag to be set no longer exists. The values of BUSY, LTHRM, and RTHRM (as well as LHIGH and RHIGH when ALERT or THERM2 is 1) are not latched and are not cleared by reading the Status Register. The values indicate the current state, and are updated appropriately at the end of the corresponding ADC conversion. Clearing the Status Register bits does not clear the state of the ALERT pin. An SMBus alert response address command must clear the ALERT pin.

The TMP411 NORs LHIGH, LLOW, RHIGH, RLOW, and OPEN, so a status change for any of these flags from 0 to 1 automatically causes the ALERT pin to go low. (This only applies when the ALERT or THERM2 pin is configured for ALERT mode).

9.6.6 Configuration Register

The Configuration Register sets the temperature range, controls shutdown mode, and determines how the ALERT and THERM2 pins function. The Configuration Register is set by writing to pointer address 09h and by reading from pointer address 03h.

The MASK bit (bit 7) enables or disables the ALERT pin output if AL or TH = 0. If AL or TH = 1, then the MASK bit has no effect. If MASK is set to 0, the ALERT pin goes low when one of the temperature measurement channels exceeds the high or low limits for the selected number of consecutive conversions. If the MASK bit is set to 1, the TMP411 retains the ALERT pin status, but the ALERT pin does not go low.

The shutdown (SD) bit (bit 6) enables or disables the temperature measurement circuitry. If SD = 0, the TMP411 converts continuously at the rate set in the conversion rate register. When SD is set to 1, the TMP411 immediately stops converting and enters shutdown mode. When SD is set to 0 again, the TMP411 resumes continuous conversions. A single conversion starts by writing to the One-Shot Register when SD = 1.

The AL or TH bit (bit 5) controls if the ALERT pin functions in ALERT mode or THERM2 mode. If AL or TH = 0, the ALERT pin operates as an interrupt pin. In this mode, the ALERT pin goes low after the set number of consecutive out-of-limit temperature measurements occur.

If AL or TH = 1, the ALERT /THERM2 pin implements a THERM function (THERM2). In this mode, THERM2 functions similarly to the THERM pin, except that the local high limit and remote high limit registers are used for the thresholds. THERM2 goes low when RHIGH or LHIGH is set.

The temperature range is set by configuring bit 2 of the Configuration Register. Setting this bit low configures the TMP411 device for the standard measurement range (0°C to 127°C). Temperature conversions are stored in the standard binary format. Setting bit 2 high configures the TMP411 for the extended measurement range (−55°C to +150°C). Temperature conversions are stored in the extended binary format, as listed in Table 1.

The remaining bits of the Configuration Register are reserved and must be set to 0. The power-on-reset value for this register is 00h. Table 5 lists the Configuration Register bits.

9.6.7 Resolution Register

The RES1 and RES0 bits (resolution bits 1 and 0) of the Resolution Register set the resolution of the local temperature measurement channel. Remote temperature measurement channel resolution is not effected. Changing the local channel resolution affects the conversion time and rate of the TMP411. The Resolution Register is set by writing to pointer address 1Ah, and is read from pointer address 1Ah. Table 6 lists the resolution bits for the Resolution Register.

Bits 2 through 4 of the resolution register must be set to 1. Bits 5 through 7 of the resolution register must be set to 0. The power-on-reset value of this register is 1Ch.

9.6.8 Conversion Rate Register

The Conversion Rate Register controls the rate at which temperature conversions are performed. The register adjusts the idle time between conversions but not the conversion timing itself, which allows the TMP411 power dissipation to balance with the temperature register update rate. Table 7 lists the conversion rate options and corresponding current consumption.

9.6.9 N-Factor Correction Register

The TMP411 allows for a different n-factor value to convert remote channel measurements to temperature. The remote channel uses sequential current excitation to extract a differential V_BE voltage measurement to determine the temperature of the remote transistor. Equation 1 relates the voltage and temperature.

Equation 1.

The value n in 1 is a characteristic of the particular transistor used for the remote channel. The default value for the TMP411 is n = 1.008. The value in the Table 8 adjusts the effective n-factor according to Equation 2 and Equation 3:

Equation 2.

Equation 3.

The n-correction value must be stored in two’s-complement format, yielding an effective data range from −128 to 127, as listed in Table 8. The n-correction value is written to and read from pointer address 18h. The register power-on-reset value is 00h, which is not effected unless the value is written to.

9.6.10 Minimum and Maximum Registers

The TMP411 stores the measured minimum and maximum temperatures since power-on, chip-reset, or minimum and maximum register reset for the local and remote channels. The Local Temperature Minimum Register is read with the high byte from pointer address 30h, and the low byte is read from pointer address 31h. The Local Temperature Minimum Register is read with a two-byte read command from pointer address 30h. The Local Temperature Minimum Register resets at power-on by executing the chip-reset command, or by writing any value to any of the pointer addresses 30h through 37h. The reset value for these registers is FFh and F0h.

The Local Temperature Maximum Register is read with the high byte from pointer address 32h, and the low byte is read from pointer address 33h. The Local Temperature Maximum Register is read with a two-byte read command from pointer address 32h. The Local Temperature Maximum Register resets at power-on by executing the chip reset command, or by writing any value to any of the pointer addresses 30h through 37h. The reset value for these registers is 00h and 00h.

The Remote Temperature Minimum Register is read with the high byte from pointer address 34h, and the low byte is read from pointer address 35h. The Remote Temperature Minimum Register is read with a two-byte read command from pointer address 34h. The Remote Temperature Minimum Register resets at power-on by executing the chip reset command, or by writing any value to any of the pointer addresses 30h through 37h. The reset value for these registers is FFh and F0h.

The Remote Temperature Maximum Register is read with the high byte from pointer address 36h and the low byte is read from pointer address 37h. The Remote Temperature Maximum Register is read with a two-byte read command from pointer address 36h. The Remote Temperature Maximum Register resets at power-on by executing the chip reset command, or by writing any value to any of the pointer addresses 30h through 37h. The reset value for these registers is 00h and 00h.

9.6.11 Consecutive Alert Register

The value in the Consecutive Alert Register (address 22h) determines how many consecutive out-of-limit measurements must occur on a measurement channel before the ALERT signal is activated. The value in this register does not effect bits in the Status Register. Values of one, two, three, or four consecutive conversions can be selected; one conversion is the default. The function allows additional filtering for the ALERT pin. The consecutive alert bits are listed in Table 9:

9.6.12 THERM Hysteresis Register

The THERM Hysteresis Register, shown in Table 11, stores the hysteresis value for the THERM pin alarm function. This register must be programmed with a value that is less than the Local Temperature High Limit Register value, Remote Temperature High Limit Register value, Local THERM Limit Register value, or Remote THERM Limit Register value, otherwise the respective temperature comparator does not trip on the falling edges of the measured temperature. Permitted hysteresis values are listed in Table 10. The default hysteresis value is 10°C, whether the device is operating in the standard or extended mode setting.

9.6.13 Remote Temperature Offset Register

The offset register allows the TMP411E to store any system offset compensation value that may result from precision calibration. The value in the register is stored in the same format as the temperature result, and is added to the remote temperature result after each conversion. Combined with the η-factor correction, the function allows for an accurate system calibration over the entire temperature range.

9.6.14 Identification Registers

The TMP411 allows for the two-wire bus controller to query the device for manufacturer and device identification. This feature allows for software identification of the device at the particular two-wire bus address. The manufacturer identification is obtained by reading from pointer address FEh. The TMP411 manufacturer code is 55h. The device identification depends on the specific model, as listed in Table 3. These registers are read-only.
