Temperature limit register format

The high and low limit registers have the same format as the temperature register with the

integer portion of the two's complement value stored in the high byte and the fractional

portion in the low byte. These registers are read-write.

Note that the high limit defaults to 85 °C.

Temperature examples

The table below shows several examples of how the data is arranged in the high and low

byte pairs used for the temperature and limit registers.

Note:

The maximum and minimum values for the temperature registers are 127.9375 (7F:F0h,

high byte : low byte) and –64 (C0:00h), respectively. This also applies to the high and low

limit registers.
