PRODUCTION DATA.
The configuration register sets the temperature range, the ALERT/THERM modes, and controls the shutdown mode. The configuration register is set by writing to pointer address 09h, and is read by reading from pointer address 03h. Table 7 summarizes the bits of the configuration register.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER (Read = 03h, Write = 09h, POR = 00h) | |||
---|---|---|---|
BIT NUMBER | NAME | FUNCTION | POWER-ON RESET VALUE |
7 | MASK1 | 0 = ALERT enabled
1 = ALERT masked |
0 |
6 | SD | 0 = Run
1 = Shut down |

5 | ALERT/THERM2 | 0 = ALERT
1 = THERM2 |

4:3 | Reserved | — | 0 |
2 | RANGE | 0 = –40°C to +127°C
1 = –64°C to +191°C |

1:0 | Reserved | — | 0 |
MASK1 (bit 7) of the configuration register masks the ALERT output. If MASK1 is 0 (default), the ALERT output is enabled. If MASK1 is set to 1, the ALERT output is disabled. This configuration applies only if the value of ALERT/THERM2 (bit 5) is 0 (that is, pin 7 is configured as the ALERT output). If pin 7 is configured as the THERM2 output, the value of the MASK1 bit has no effect.
The shutdown bit (SD, bit 6) enables or disables the temperature-measurement circuitry. If SD = 0 (default), the TMP461-SP device converts continuously at the rate set in the conversion rate register. When SD is set to 1, the TMP461-SP device stops converting when the current conversion sequence is complete and enters a shutdown mode. When SD is set to 0 again, the TMP461-SP resumes continuous conversions. When SD = 1, a single conversion can be started by writing to the one-shot start register; see the One-Shot Start Register section for more information.
ALERT/THERM2 (bit 5) sets the configuration of pin 7. If the ALERT/THERM2 bit is 0 (default), then pin 7 is configured as the ALERT output; if this bit is set to 1, then pin 7 is configured as the THERM2 output.
The temperature range is set by configuring RANGE (bit 2) of the configuration register. Setting this bit low (default) configures the TMP461-SP device for the standard measurement range (–40°C to +127°C); temperature conversions are stored in the standard binary format. Setting bit 2 high configures the TMP461-SP device for the extended measurement range (–64°C to +191°C); temperature conversions are stored in the extended binary format (see Table 2).
The remaining bits of the configuration register are reserved and must always be set to 0. The power-on reset value for this register is 00h.
