Operation
After each temperature measurement and analog-to-digital conversion, the STLM75 stores
the temperature as a 16-bit two’s complement number (see

●
The most recently converted digital measurement can be read from the Temperature
register at any time. Since temperature conversions are performed in the background,
reading the Temperature register does not affect the operation in progress.
The temperature data is provided by the 9 MSBs (Bits 15 through 7). Bits 6 through 0 are
unused.
temperatures. The data is compared to the values in the T
the OS is updated based on the result of the comparison and the operating mode.
The alarm fault tolerance is controlled by the FT1 and FT0 Bits in the Configuration register.
They are used to set up a fault queue. This prevents false tripping of the OS/INT pin when
the STLM75 is used in a noisy environment (see
The active state of the OS output can be changed via the Polarity Bit (POL) in the
Configuration register. The power-up default is active-low.
If the user does not wish to use the thermostat capabilities of the STLM75, the OS output
should be left floating.
If the thermostat is not used, the T
