EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE VALUE REGISTER (8
MSBS)
This External Temperature Value Register is a 8-bit read-
only register which stores the temperature reading from
the external temperature sensor in twos complement for-
mat. The 8 MSBs of the external temperature reading is
stored in this register.

INTERNAL THIGH REGISTER
The Internal THIGH Register is an 8-bit read/write register
which stores the upper limit that will activate the
ALERT/
TI output. Therefore if the value in the Temperature
Value Register is greater than the value in the THIGH Regis-
ter, then the
ALERT/TI pin is activated (that is if
ALERT/TI is enabled in the Configuration Register). As
it is an 8-bit register the temperature resolution is 1oC.

INTERNAL TLOW REGISTER
The Internal TLOW Register is an 8-bit read/write register
which stores the lower limit that will deactivate the
ALERT/TI output. Therefore if the value in the Tem-
perature Value Register is less than the value in the TLOW
Register, the ALERT/TI pin is deactivated (that is if
ALERT/TI is enabled in the Configuration Register). As
it is an 8-bit register the temperature resolution is 1
oC.

DAC A HIGH REGISTER
This 8-bit read/write register contains the digital data for
DAC A to convert to an analog representation. As the
ADT7318 has only an 8-bit DAC this register is all that is
is need for it’s DAC A. But in the case of the ADT7316
(12-Bit) and ADT7317 (10-Bit) this register contains the
8 MSBs of the DAC A word.

DAC A LOW REGISTER (ADT7316/17 ONLY)
This 8-bit read/write register conatins the LSBs of the
DAC A word. In the case of the ADT7317 the 2 LSBs are
stored here and for the ADT7316 the 4 LSBs are stored
here.
