General Description:
Applications:
The TCN75 is a serially programmable temperature
sensor that notifies the host controller when ambient
temperature exceeds a user programmed set point.
Hysteresis is also programmable. The INT/CMPTR
output is programmable as either a simple comparator
for thermostat operation 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 set point and
hysteresis, and configuring the device.
• Thermal Protection for High-Performance CPUs
• Solid-State Thermometer
• Fire/Heat Alarms
• Thermal Management in Electronic Systems:
- Computers
- Telecom Racks
- Power Supplies/UPS/Amplifiers
• Copiers/Office Electronics
• Consumer Electronics
The TCN75 powers up in Comparator mode with a
default set point of 80°C with 5°C hysteresis. Defaults
• Process Control
allow independent operation as
a
stand-alone
thermostat. A shutdown command may be sent via the
2-wire bus to activate the low-power Standby mode.
Address selection inputs allow up to eight TCN75s to
share the same 2-wire bus for multizone monitoring.
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. Small physical size, low installed cost,
and ease-of-use make the TCN75 an ideal choice for
implementing sophisticated system management
schemes.
