TA bits to Temperature Conversion

To convert the TA bits to decimal temperature, the

upper three boundary bits (bits 15, 14 and 13) must be

masked out. Then determine the sign bit (bit 12) to

check positive or negative temperature, shift the bits

accordingly and combine the upper and lower bytes of

the 16-bit register. The upper byte contains data for

temperatures greater than 32°C while the lower byte

contains data for temperature less than 32°C, including

fractional data. When combinding the upper and lower

bytes, the upper byte must be Right-shifted by 4bits (or

multiply by 24) and the lower byte must be Left-shifted

by 4 bits (or multiply by 2-4). Adding the results of the

shifted values provides the temperature data in decimal

format, see Equation 5-1.

The temperature bits are in two’s compliment format,

therefore, postive temperature data and negative tem-

perature data are computed differently. Equation 5-1

shows the temperature computation. The example

instruction code outlined in Figure 5-6 shows the

communication flow, also see Figure 5-7 for timing

diagram.

Temperature = 256 - (UpperByte x 16 + LowerByte / 16);

}else

//TA ≥ 0°C

Temperature = (UpperByte x 16 + LowerByte / 16);

//Temperature = Ambient Temperature (°C)
