Remote/Local Temperature Sensor
with SMBus Serial Interface
________________General Description
The MAX1617A (patents pending) is a precise digital ther-
mometer that reports the temperature of both a remote
sensor and its own package. The remote sensor is a
diode-connected transistor—typically a low-cost, easily
mounted 2N3904 NPN type—that replaces conventional
thermistors or thermocouples. Remote accuracy is ±3°C
for multiple transistor manufacturers, with no calibration
needed. The remote channel can also measure the die
temperature of other ICs, such as microprocessors, that
contain an on-chip, diode-connected transistor.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBus®) Write Byte, Read Byte, Send
Byte, and Receive Byte commands to program the alarm
thresholds and to read temperature data. The data format
is 7 bits plus sign, with each bit corresponding to 1°C, in
two’s complement format. Measurements can be done
automatically and autonomously, with the conversion rate
programmed by the user or programmed to operate in a
single-shot mode. The adjustable rate allows the user to
control the supply-current drain.
The MAX1617A is nearly identical to the popular MAX1617,
but has improved SMBus timing specifications, improved
bus collision immunity, software manufacturer and device
identification available via the serial interface, and a power-
on reset function that can force a reset of the slave address
via the serial interface.
