DS1775
4 of 13 102299
The resolution of the temperature conversion is configurable (9, 10, 11, or 12 bits), with 9–bit readings
the default state. This equates to a temperature resolution of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, or 0.0625°C.
Following each conversion, thermal data is stored in the thermometer register in two’s complement
format; the information can be retrieved over the 2–wire interface with the device pointer set to the
temperature register. Table 2 describes the exact relationship of output data to measured temperature. The
table assumes the DS1775 is configured for 12–bit resolution; if the device is configured in a lower
resolution mode, those bits will contain zeros. The data is transmitted serially over the 2–wire serial
interface, MSb first. The MSb of the temperature register contains the “sign” (S) bit, denoting whether the
temperature is positive or negative. For Fahrenheit usage, a lookup table or conversion routine must be
used.

OPERATION–Thermostat Control
In its comparator operating mode, the DS1775 functions as a thermostat with programmable hysteresis, as
shown in Figure 2. When the DS1775’s temperature meets or exceeds the value stored in the high
temperature trip register (TOS) a consecutive number of times, as defined by the configuration register, the
output becomes active and stays active until the first time that the temperature falls below the temperature
stored in the low temperature trigger register (T
HYST
). In this way, any amount of hysteresis may be
obtained. The DS1775 powers up in the comparator mode with TOS=80°C and T
HYST
=75°C and can be
used as a standalone thermostat (no 2–wire interface required) with those setpoints.
In the interrupt mode, the O.S. output will first become active following the programmed number of
consecutive conversions above TOS. The fault can only be cleared by either setting the DS1775 in a
shutdown mode or by reading any register (temperature, configuration, TOS, or T
HYST
) on the device.
Following a clear, a subsequent fault can only occur if consecutive conversions fall below T
HYST
. This
interrupt/clear process is thus cyclical (TOS, clear, T
HYST
, clear, TOS, clear, T
HYST
, clear, ...). Only the first
of multiple consecutive T
OS
violations will activate O.S., even if each fault is separated by a clearing
function. The same situation applies to multiple consecutive T
HYST
events.
