G781
±1°C Remote and Local Temperature Sensor with
SMBus Serial Interface
Features
General Description
ꢀTwo Channels: Measures Both Remote and
Local Temperatures
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
transistor typically a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904
NPN type that replace conventional thermistors or
thermocouples. Remote accuracy is ±1°C with no cali-
bration needed. The remote channel 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:
±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.
