Dual Channel Temperature Sensor
and Over Temperature Alarm
ADT7483A
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 ADT7483A1 is a three-channel digital thermometer and
under/over temperature alarm, intended for use in PCs and
thermal management systems. It can measure the temperature
in two remote locations, for example, the remote thermal diode
in a CPU or GPU, or a discrete diode connected transistor. It can
also measure its own ambient temperature. The temperature of the
remote thermal diode and ambient temperature 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 overtemperature fail-safe
Small 16-lead QSOP package
outputs
THERM
240 μA operating current, 5 μA standby current
The ADT7483A communicates over a 2-wire serial interface
compatible with system management bus (SMBus) standards.
The SMBus address is set by the ADD0 and ADD1 pins. As
many as nine different SMBus addresses are possible.
APPLICATIONS
Desktop and notebook computers
Industrial controllers
Smart batteries
An ALERT output signals when the on-chip or remote
temperature is outside the programmed limits. The THERM
output is a comparator output that allows, for example, on/off
control of a cooling fan. The ALERT output can be reconfigured
as a second THERM output, if required.
