2) If the MAX6648/MAX6692 are in run mode, read the
status byte. If the BUSY bit indicates that a conversion
is in progress, wait until the conversion is complete
(BUSY bit set to zero) before reading the temperature
data. Following a conversion completion, immediately
read the contents of the temperature data registers. If
no conversion is in progress, the data can be read
within a few microseconds, which is a sufficiently short
period of time to ensure that a new conversion cannot
be completed until after the data has been read.

Write Byte Format
Read Byte Format
Send Byte Format
Receive Byte Format
Slave Address: equiva-
lent to chip-select line of
a 3-wire interface
Command Byte: selects which
register you are writing to
Data Byte: data goes into the register
set by the command byte (to set
thresholds, configuration masks, and
sampling rate)
Slave Address: equiva-
lent to chip-select line
Command Byte: selects
which register you are
reading from
Slave Address: repeated
due to change in data-
flow direction
Data Byte: reads from
the register set by the
command byte
Command Byte: sends com-
mand with no data, usually
used for one-shot command
Data Byte: reads data from
the register commanded
by the last Read Byte or
Write Byte transmission;
also used for SMBus Alert
