Dual Channel Temperature Sensor
and Over Temperature Alarm
ADT7481
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1 local and 2 remote temperature sensors
0.25°C resolution/1°C accuracy on remote channels
1°C resolution/1°C accuracy on local channel
Extended, switchable temperature measurement range 0°C
to 127°C (default) or –64°C to +191°C
2-wire SMBus serial interface with SMBus ALERT support
Programmable over/under temperature limits
Offset registers for system calibration
The ADT74811 is a 3-channel digital thermometer and under/
over temperature alarm, intended for use in PCs and thermal
management systems. It can measure its own ambient temperature
or the temperature of two remote thermal diodes. These thermal
diodes can be located in a CPU or GPU, or they can be discrete
diode connected transistors. The ambient temperature, or the
temperature of the remote thermal diode, can be accurately
measured to 1°C. The temperature measurement range defaults
to 0°C to +127°C, compatible with ADM1032, but can be
switched to a wider measurement range from −64°C to +191°C.
Up to 2 over temperature fail-safe THERM outputs
Small 10-lead MSOP package
240 μA operating current, 5 μA standby current
APPLICATIONS
Desktop and notebook computers
Industrial controllers
Smart batteries
The ADT7481 communicates over a 2-wire serial interface
compatible with system management bus (SMBus) standards.
The SMBus address of the ADT7481 is 0x4C. An ADT7481-1
with an SMBus address of 0x4B is also available.
