Shutdown Mode
For power-sensitive applications, the DS75 offers a low-
power shutdown mode. The SD bit in the configuration
register controls shutdown mode. When SD is changed
to 1, the conversion in progress will be completed and
the result stored in the temperature register after which
the DS75 will go into a low-power standby state. The
O.S. output will be cleared if the thermostat is operating
in interrupt mode and O.S will remain unchanged in com-
parator mode. The 2-wire interface remains operational in
shutdown mode, and writing a 0 to the SD bit returns the
DS75 to normal operation.
Operation–Thermostat
The DS75 thermostat has two operating modes, com-
parator mode and interrupt mode, which activate and
deactivate the open-drain thermostat output (O.S.) based
on user-programmable trip-points (TOS and THYST).
The DS75 powers up with the thermostat in comparator
mode with active-low O.S. polarity and with the over-
temperature trip-point (TOS) register set to 80°C and the
hysteresis trip-point (THYST) register set to 75°C. If these
power-up settings are compatible with the application, the
DS75 can be used as a standalone thermostat (i.e., no
2–wire communication required). If interrupt mode opera-
tion, activehigh O.S. polarity or different TOS and THYST
values are desired, they must be programmed after pow-
erup, so standalone operation is not possible.
In both operating modes, the user can program the ther-
mostat fault tolerance, which sets how many consecutive
temperature readings (1, 2, 4, or 6) must fall outside of
the thermostat limits before the thermostat output is trig-
gered. The fault tolerance is set by the F1 and F0 bits in
the configuration and at power-up the fault tolerance is 1.
The data format of the TOS and THYST registers is
identical to that of the temperature register (Figure 3),
i.e., a two-byte two’s complement representation of the
trip-point temperature in degrees centigrade with bits 3
through 0 hardwired to 0. After every temperature con-
version, the measured temperature is compared to the
values in the TOS and THYST registers, and then O.S.
is updated based on the result of the comparison and
the operating mode. The number of TOS and THYST bits
used during the thermostat comparison is equal to the
conversion resolution set by the R1 and R0 bits in the
configuration register. For example, it the resolution is 9
bits, only the 9 MSbs of TOS and THYST will be used by
the thermostat comparator.
The active state of the O.S. output can be changed via the
POL bit in the configuration register. The power-up default
is active low.
If the user does not wish to use the thermostat capabilities
of the DS75, the O.S. output should be left floating. Note
that if the thermostat is not used, the TOS and THYST
registers can be used for general storage of system data.
