Industrial
The EMC1188 is a high accuracy, low cost, 1.8V System
Management Bus (SMBus) compatible temperature sensor.
Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction (REC),
Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes requiring the
BJT/transistor model including 65nm and lower geometry
processors) and automatic diode type detection combine to
provide a robust solution for complex environmental monitoring
applications. The ability to communicate at 1.8V SMBus levels
provides compatible I/O for the advanced processors found in
today’s tablet and smartphone applications.

diodes
The EMC1188 monitors four temperature (three external and
one internal) channels, providing ±1°C accuracy for both
external and internal diode temperatures.
Pin and register compatible with EMC1424
Automatically determines external diode type and
optimal settings
Additionally, the EMC1188provides a hardware programmable
system shutdown feature that is programmed at part power-up
via two pull-up resistor values and that cannot be masked or
corrupted through the SMBus.
Resistance Error Correction
Frequency hops the remote sample frequency to reject
DC converter and other coherent noise sources*
Consecutive Alert queue to further reduce false Alerts
Up to 3 External Temperature Monitor
REC automatically eliminates the temperature error caused by
series resistance allowing greater flexibility in routing thermal
diodes. Frequency hopping* and analog filters ensure remote
diode traces can be as far as eight (8) inches without degrading
the signal. Beta Compensation eliminates temperature errors
caused by low, variable beta transistors common in today's fine
geometry processors. The automatic beta detection feature
monitors the external diode/transistor and determines the
optimum sensor settings for accurate temperature
measurements regardless of processor technology. This frees
the user from providing unique sensor configurations for each
temperature monitoring application. These advanced features
plus ±1°C measurement accuracy provide a low-cost, highly
flexible and accurate solution for critical temperature monitoring
applications.
