General Description:
The TCN75 is a serially programmable temperature
sensor that notifies the host controller when ambient
temperature exceeds a user programmed set point.
Hysteresis is also programmable. The INT/CMPTR
output is programmable as either a simple comparator
for thermostat operation or as a temperature event
interrupt.    Communication    with    the    TCN75    is
accomplished via a two-wire bus that is compatible with
industry standard protocols. This permits reading the
current temperature, programming the set point and
hysteresis, and configuring the device.
The TCN75 powers up in Comparator mode with a
default set point of 80癈 with 5癈 hysteresis. Defaults
allow   independent   operation   as   a   stand-alone
thermostat. A shutdown command may be sent via the
2-wire bus to activate the low-power Standby mode.
Address selection inputs allow up to eight TCN75s to
share the same 2-wire bus for multizone monitoring.
All registers can be read by the host and the INT/
CMPTR outputs polarity is user programmable. Both
polled   and   interrupt   driven   systems   are   easily
accommodated. Small physical size, low installed cost,
and ease-of-use make the TCN75 an ideal choice for
implementing   sophisticated   system   management
schemes.
