The temperature sensor on the parts can be accessed via multiplexer Channel 0. When Channel 0 is selected and a conversion is initiated, the resulting ADC code at the end of the conversion gives a measurement of the ambient temperature ( 1C @ +25C). On-chip registers can be programmed with high and low temperature limits, and an open drain Over-Temperature Indicator output (OTI) is provided, which becomes active when a programmed limit is exceeded.
