1.5 INTERNAL REGISTER STRUCTURE

The LM74 has three registers, the temperature register, the

configuration register and the manufacturer’s/device identifi-

cation register. The temperature and manufacturer’s/device

identification registers are read only. The configuration reg-

ister is write only.

Shutdown

D0–D15 set to XX FF hex enables shutdown mode.

D0–D15 set to 00 00 hex sets Continuous conversion mode.

Note: setting D0-D15 to any other values may place the LM74 into a manufacturer’s test mode, upon which the LM74 will stop

responding as described. These test modes are to be used for National Semiconductor production testing only. See Section 1.2

Serial Bus Interface for a complete discussion.
