G766
Remote Temperature Sensor with SMBus Serial
Interface
Features
General Description
ꢀSingle Channel: Measures Remote CPU Tem-
perature
The G766 is a precise digital thermometer that reports
the temperature of a remote sensor. The remote sen-
sor is a diode-connected transistor typically a low-cost,
easily mounted 2N3904 NPN type-that replace con-
ventional thermistors or thermocouples. Remote ac-
curacy is ±3°C for multiple transistor manufacturers,
with no calibration needed. The G766 can also meas-
ure the die temperature of other ICs, such as micro-
processors, that contain an on-chip, diode-connected
transistor.
ꢀNo Calibration Required
ꢀSMBus 2-Wire Serial Interface
ꢀProgrammable Under/Overtemperature Alarms
ꢀSupports SMBus Alert Response
ꢀAccuracy:
±3°C (+60°C to +100°C, remote)
ꢀ3µA (typ) Standby Supply Current
ꢀ300µA (max) Supply Current in Auto- Convert
Mode
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBusTM) Write Byte, Read Byte,
Send Byte, and Receive Byte commands to program
the alarm thresholds and to read temperature data.
The data format is 7 bits plus sign, with each bit cor-
responding to 1°C, in twos-complement format. Meas-
urements can be done automatically and autono-
mously, with the conversion rate programmed by the
user or programmed to operate in a single-shot mode.
The adjustable rate allows the user to control the sup-
ply-current drain.
