Temperature Conversion
The DS1841 features an internal 8-bit temperature sen-
sor that can drive the LUT and provide a measurement
of the ambient temperature over I
2
C by reading the
value stored in address 0Ch. The sensor is functional
over the entire operating temperature range and is
stored in signed two’s complement format with a resolu-
tion of 1°C/bit. See Table 2, Register 0Ch description for
the temperature sensor’s bit weights. To calculate the
temperature, treat the two’s complement binary value as
an unsigned binary number, then convert it to decimal.
If the result is greater than or equal to 128, subtract 256
from the result.
LUT
The DS1841 monitors the internal temperature by
repeatedly polling the sensor’s result with update rate
t
FRAME
. During each cycle, the DS1841 reads the inter-
nal temperature, and, based on that temperature,
points to the corresponding LUT address. Every two
degrees of temperature will convert into one tempera-
ture address slot. See Table 3 for a list of temperatures
and their corresponding LUT addresses.
The LUT features one-degree hysteresis to prevent
chattering if the measured temperature falls on the
boundary between two windows (see Figure 1).
