MATLAB: Direct convert to float64 from the data of output of fread

Question

Dear Experts,

I got the data which are output of fread function as a UDP communication.

data=[65;233;180;90;80;0;0;0].

I want to convert to this data to float64 double(IEEE 754 floating point format).

I tried as below

%================================%

data=data.';
tp=dec2bin(data).';
tp=reshape(tp,[4,16]).';
tp=bin2dec(tp);
hex = '0123456789abcdef';
hc=hex(tp+1);
f=hex2num(hc);
%================================%

I got f=3.4500e+09

but, Is there any other method better simple direct mehtod to get value f?
