PRODUCTION DATA
Depending on the user application case, the TMP1826 provides for some user and application configurable address modes, called flexible address mode. These modes exist alongside the standard device address, and is extremely useful for applications that require a combination of faster access and device position identification.
When the flexible device address is used, the short address register is updated. The short address register shall be updated by the host write when the FLEX_ADDR_MODE bits are '00b'. When these bits are changed from the value '00b', the device decodes the address resistor connected on ADDR pin or IOs or both of them and overlay on the short address register. This is helpful as the same set of 16 resistors or 16 IO combinations can be used for up to 256 unique flexible address.
The FLEX_ADDR_MODE is not stored in the configuration EEPROM, therefore the host must copy the short address register content into EEPROM configuration memory to make the short address values permanent without the need to decode at every power up.
