Monitored Signals
Each signal (V CC , MON1, MON2, MON3, and tempera-
ture) is available as a 16-bit value with 12-bit accuracy
(left-justified) over the serial bus. See
Table 1 for signal
scales and Table 2 for signal format. The four LSBs
should be masked when calculating the value.
The signals are updated every frame rate (t frame ) in a
round-robin fashion.
The comparison of all five signals with the high and low
user-defined values are done automatically. The corre-
sponding flags are set to 1 within a specified time of
the occurrence of an out-of-limit condition.
Calculating Signal Values
The LSB = 100µV for V
CC
, and the LSB = 38.147µV for
the MON signals.
To calculate the value of V CC , convert the unsigned 16-
bit value to decimal and multiply by 100µV.
To calculate the value of MON1, MON2, or MON3 con-
vert the unsigned 16-bit value to decimal and multiply
by 38.147µV.
To calculate the value of the temperature, treat the
two’s complement value binary number as an unsigned
binary number, then convert to decimal and divide by
256. If the result is greater than or equal to 128, then
subtract 256 from the result.
Temperature: high byte: -128 °C to +127°C signed; low
byte: 1/256
°C.
