PRODUCTION DATA
The device senses a fault at the D+ input resulting from an incorrect diode connection. The device also senses an open circuit. Short-circuit conditions return a value of –64°C. The detection circuitry consists of a voltage comparator that trips when the voltage at D+ exceeds VDD – 0.3V (typical). The comparator output is continuously checked during a conversion. If a fault is detected, the OPEN bit in the status register is set and the device issues an alarm event.
When not using the remote sensor in the device, the D+ and D– inputs must be connected together to prevent meaningless fault warnings.
