Local/Remote Thermal Supervisor
Advance Information
General Description
Features
The MIC184 is a versatile digital thermal supervisor capable
ofmeasuringtemperatureusingeitheritsowninternalsensor
or an inexpensive external sensor. A 2-wire serial interface is
• Measures local and remote temperatures
• Pin and software backward compatible to LM75
• 9-bit sigma-delta ADC

provided to allow communication with either I C or SMBus
• 2-wire I C/SMBus compatible interface
masters. This device is a pin-for-pin and software compatible
upgrade for the industry standard LM75.
• Programmable thermostatic settings for either internal or
external zone
• Open-drain comparator/interrupt output pin
• Interrupt mask and status bits
• Low-power shutdown mode
• Fail-safe response to diode faults
• 2.7V to 5.5V power supply range
• Up to 8 devices may share the same bus
• 8-Lead SOP and MSOP Packages
Additional features include remote temperature measure-
ment capability, and interrupt status and mask bits in the
chip’s configuration register for software polling. The open-
drain interrupt output pin can be used as either an overtem-
peraturealarmorthermostaticcontrolsignal.Threeprogram-
mable address pins permit users to multidrop up to 8 devices
alongthe2-wirebus, allowingsimpledistributedtemperature
