5.1.7

RESOLUTION REGISTER

This register allows the user to change the sensor

resolution

(see

Section 5.2.4

“Temperature

Resolution”

). The POR default resolution is 0.25°C.

The selected resolution is also reflected in the

Capability register (see Register 5-2).

Note:

In order to prevent accidentally writing the

resolution register to a higher resolution

and exceeding the maximum temperature

conversion time of tCONV = 125 ms, a Shut-

down command (using the CONFIG regis-

ter) is required to change the resolution

mode to change the resolution.
