Reading the Temperature Gauge
The
Temperature
box on the TMP112EVM software window displays the measured values of the TMP112
registers in a graphical format, as
shows. This value can be toggled to either (degrees)
Fahrenheit or Celsius by toggling the checkbox at the bottom of the window. Note that changing to
extended mode on the TMP112EVM software also changes the full-scale value of the TMP112
thermometer.

Polarity (Alert Pin)
The polarity drop-down selection box in the
Configuration
section allows the user to toggle how the Alert
pin behaves when triggered. When the polarity box is set to active low, as shown in
, the LED on
the TMP112EVM board lights up when triggered and functions as a ground source. When the polarity box
is set to active high, the LED on the TMP112EVM board does not function, and the Alert pin on the
TMP112 is set to DVDD when triggered.
