NCT203
Low Voltage, High
Accuracy Temperature
Monitor with I2C Interface
The NCT203 is a digital thermometer and undertemperature/
overtemperature alarm, intended for use in thermal management
systems requiring low power and size. The NCT203 operates over a
supply range of 1.4 V to 2.75 V making it possible to use it in a wide
range of applications including low power devices.

The NCT203 can measure the ambient temperature accurate to
1.75°C. The device operates over a wide temperature range of −40 to
+125°C.

The NCT203 has a configurable ALERT output and over−
temperature shutdown THERM pin.

Communication with the NCT203 is accomplished via the I C
interface which is compatible with industry standard protocols.
Through this interface the NCT203s internal registers may be
accessed. These registers allow the user to read the current
temperature, change the configuration settings and adjust limits.
An ALERT output signals when the on−chip temperature is out of
range. The THERM output is a comparator output that can be used to
shut down the system if it exceeds the programmed limit. The ALERT
output can be reconfigured as a second THERM output, if required.
