G781
±1°C Remote and Local Temperature Sensor with
SMBus Serial Interface
Features
General Description
The G781 is a precise digital thermometer that reports
the temperature of both a remote sensor and its own
package. The remote sensor is a diode-connected tran-
sistor typically a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN
type that replace conventional thermistors or thermo-
couples. Remote accuracy is ±1°C with no calibration
needed. It also has a build-in noise filtering function in
remote sensor measuring the diode temperature. The
remote channel can also measure the die temperature
of other ICs, such as microprocessors, that contain an
on-chip, diode-connected transistor.
Two Channels: Measures Both Remote and
Local Temperatures
No Calibration Required
Built-in Noise-Buster for Remote Sensor
SMBus 2-Wire Serial Interface
Programmable Under/Overtemperature Alarms
Supports SMBus Alert Response
Accuracy:
±1°C (+60°C to +100°C, remote)
±3°C (+60°C to + 100°C, local)
320µA (typ) Average Supply Current During
Conversion
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 format is 11bits plus sign, with each bit cor-
responding to 0.125°C, in two’s-complement format.
Measurements can be done automatically and
autonomously, 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 supply current drain.
+3V to +5.5V Supply Range
Small 8-Lead SOP , MSOP and TDFN Package
Remote Temperature Measurment up to 160°C
by using offset shifting method (see “Measure
Remote Temperature Higher Than 127°C” sec-
tion)
Applications
Desktop and Notebook
Computers
Smart Battery Packs
LAN Servers
Central Office
The G781 and G781-1 have the same functions but
different SMBus slave addresses. This allows for one
of each to be on the bus at the same time.
