mable as either a simple comparator for thermostat opera-
tion or as a temperature event interrupt. Communication
with the TCN75 is accomplished via a two-wire bus that is
compatible with industry standard protocols. This permits
reading the current temperature, programming the setpoint
and hysteresis, and configuring the device.
■ Operates from – 55°C to +125°C
■ Operating Range..................................... 2.7V - 5.5V
■ Programmable Trip Point and Hysteresis with
Power-up Defaults
■ Standard 2-Wire Serial Interface
■ Thermal Event Alarm Output Functions as
Interrupt or Comparator / Thermostat Output
■ Up to 8 TCN75's May Share the Same Bus
■ Shutdown Mode for Low Standby Power
Consumption
■ Low Power......................... 250µA (Typ.) Operating
1µA (Typ.) Shutdown Mode
The TCN75 powers up in Comparator Mode with a
default setpoint of 80°C with 5°C hysteresis. Defaults allow
independent operation as a stand-alone thermostat. A shut-
down command may be sent via the 2-wire bus to activate
the low-power standby mode. Address selection inputs
allow up to eight TCN75's to share the same 2-wire bus for
multi-zone monitoring.
■ 8-Pin Plastic DIP, SOIC, and MSOP Packaging
All registers can be read by the host and the INT/
CMPTR output's polarity is user programmable. Both polled
and interrupt driven systems are easily accommodated.

the TCN75 an ideal choice for implementing sophisticated
system management schemes.
