Multichannel Remote/Local
Temperature Sensor
________________General Description
The MAX1668/MAX1805 are precise multichannel digi-
tal thermometers that report the temperature of all
remote sensors and their own packages. The remote
sensors are diode-connected transistors—typically low-
cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN types—that replace
conventional thermistors or thermocouples. Remote
accuracy is ±3°C for multiple transistor manufacturers,
with no calibration needed. The remote channels can
also measure the die temperature of other ICs, such as
microprocessors, that contain an on-chip, diode-con-
nected 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.
The MAX1668/MAX1805 are available in small, 16-pin
QSOP surface-mount packages.
