PRODUCTION DATA
The continuous conversion mode is applicable only in VDD powered mode of operation for the device. This mode can be enabled by writing a value other than '000b' to CONV_MODE_SEL bits in the device configuration-1 register. As shown in Figure 9-16, the device can perform periodic conversions at the interval programmed by the host and updates the temperature result register when continuous conversion mode is enabled. The device also performs the alert threshold check and sets the flags and alert pin, if configured accordingly. When in continuous conversion mode, the CONVERTTEMP function has no effect on the temperature conversion request. The application can at any time change the rate of conversion or put the device back into one-shot conversion mode, and this takes effect only after the current conversion is complete.
If due to any reason, the VDD supply fails without the device going through a brownout and causes the device to move to bus powered mode of operation, the conversion mode automatically reverts to the setting in the configuration EEPROM.
