Feature Description (continued)

7.3.2 Temperature Result and Limits

At the end of every conversion, the device updates the temperature register with the conversion result. The data

reading in the result register is in two's complement format, has a data width of 16 bits, and a resolution of

7.8125 m°C. Table 1 shows multiple examples of possible binary data that can be read from the temperature

result register and the corresponding hexadecimal and decimal equivalents.

The TMP116 also has alert status flags and alert pin functionality that use the temperature limits stored in the low

limit register and high limit register. The same data format used for the temperature result register can be used

for data that are written to the high and low limit registers.
