Figure 22: MLX90614 SMBus connection
Connection of the MLX90614 to SMBus with 3.3V power supply. The MLX90614 has diode clamps SDA/SCL
to Vdd so it is necessary to provide MLX90614 with power in order not to load the SMBus lines.

Figure 23: Use of multiple MLX90614 devices in SMBus network
The MLX90614 supports a 7-bit slave address in EEPROM, thus allowing up to 127 devices to be read via
two common wires. With the MLX90614BBx this results in 254 object temperatures measured remotely and
an additional 127 ambient temperatures which are also available. Current source pull-ups may be preferred
with higher capacitive loading on the bus (C3 and C4 represent the lines’ parasitics), while simple resistive
pull-ups provide the obvious low cost advantage.
