Multichannel remote/local temperature sensors, General description, Applications ____________________________features

________________General Description
The MAX1668/MAX1805/MAX1989 are precise multi-
channel digital thermometers that report the tempera-
ture of all remote sensors and their own packages. The
remote sensors are diode-connected transistors—typi-
cally low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN types—that
replace conventional thermistors or thermocouples.
Remote accuracy is ±3°C for multiple transistor manu-
facturers, with no calibration needed. The remote chan-
nels 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 for-
mat is 7 bits plus sign, with each bit corresponding to
1°C, in two’s-complement format.
The MAX1668/MAX1805/MAX1989 are available in
small, 16-pin QSOP surface-mount packages.
