-High Accuracy Temperature Reading
----------------------------------
-
-As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
-somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
-different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
-To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
-both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
-
-Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
-internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
-(the driver manages them):
-
-Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
-Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
-Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
-
-- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
-- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
-- Then, read REG_COUNT.
-- And then, REG_SLOPE.
-
- TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
-
-Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
-good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
-that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
-of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
-tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
-thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
-
-The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
-be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
-temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
-i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
-that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
-to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
-
-Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
-the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
-or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.
