Yes, that is so by design: 5 bit A/D for a range of 0 - 128 degrees. Found that in some paper on the Thermal Assist Unit (ref. 2 in the appnote). By the way, the uncalibrated sensor has an accuracy of +- 12 degrees. Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy.
