Description
Microchip Technology Inc.’s MCP98242 digital
temperature sensor converts temperature from -40°C
and +125°C to a digital word. This sensor meets
JEDEC Specification JC42.4 Mobile Platform Memory
Module Thermal Sensor Component. It provides an
accuracy of ±0.5°C/±1°C (typical/maximum) from
+75°C to +95°C. In addition, this device has an internal
256 Byte EEPROM which can be used to store memory
module and vendor information.
The MCP98242 digital temperature sensor comes with
user-programmable registers that provide flexibility for
DIMM temperature-sensing applications. The registers
allow user-selectable settings such as Shutdown or
Low-Power modes and the specification of
temperature event and critical output boundaries.
When the temperature changes beyond the specified
boundary limits, the MCP98242 outputs an Event
signal. The user has the option of setting the Event
output signal polarity as either an active-low or
active-high comparator output for thermostat operation,
or as a temperature event interrupt output for micropro-
cessor-based systems. The Event output can also be
configured as a critical temperature output.
The EEPROM is designed specifically for DRAM
DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) Serial Presence
Detect (SPD). The lower 128 bytes (address 00h to
7Fh) can be Permanent Write Protected (PWP) or
Software Reversible Write Protected (SWP). This
allows DRAM vendor and product information to be
stored and write protected. The upper 128 bytes
(address 80h to FFh) can be used for general purpose
data storage. These addresses are not write protected.
This sensor has an industry standard 2-wire, I2C/
SMBus compatible serial interface, allowing up to eight
devices to be controlled in a single serial bus. To
maintain interchangeability with the I2C/SMBus
interface the electrical specifications are specified with
the operating voltage of 3.0V to 3.6V. In addition, a
40 ms (typical) time out is implemented.
