Dual Remote/Local Temperature Sensors with
SMBus Serial Interface
The MAX6695/MAX6696 are precise, dual-remote, and
local digital temperature sensors. They accurately measure the temperature of their own die and two remote
diode-connected transistors, and report the temperature in digital form on a 2-wire serial interface. The
remote diode is typically the emitter-base junction of a
common-collector PNP on a CPU, FPGA, GPU, or ASIC.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard system
management bus (SMBus) commands such as Write
Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte to read
the temperature data and program the alarm thresholds
and conversion rate. The MAX6695/MAX6696 can function autonomously with a programmable conversion
rate, which allows control of supply current and temperature update rate to match system needs. For conversion rates of 2Hz or less, the temperature is
represented as 10 bits + sign with a resolution of
+0.125°C. When the conversion rate is 4Hz, output data
is 7 bits + sign with a resolution of +1°C. The MAX6695/
MAX6696 also include an SMBus timeout feature to
enhance system reliability.
Remote temperature sensing accuracy is ±1.5°C between +60°C and +100°C with no calibration needed.
The MAX6695/MAX6696 measure temperatures from
-40°C to +125°C. In addition to the SMBus ALERT output, the MAX6695/MAX6696 feature two overtemperature limit indicators (OT1 and OT2), which are active
only while the temperature is above the corresponding
programmable temperature limits. The OT1 and OT2
outputs are typically used for fan control, clock throttling, or system shutdown.
The MAX6695 has a fixed SMBus address. The
MAX6696 has nine different pin-selectable SMBus
addresses. The MAX6695 is available in a 10-pin
μMAX® and the MAX6696 is available in a 16-pin QSOP
package. Both operate throughout the -40°C to +125°C
temperature range.

Pin Description
MAX6695/MAX6696
Dual Remote/Local Temperature Sensors with
SMBus Serial Interface
Detailed Description
The MAX6695/MAX6696 are temperature sensors
designed to work in conjunction with a microprocessor
or other intelligence in temperature monitoring, protection, or control applications. Communication with the
MAX6695/MAX6696 occurs through the SMBus serial
interface and dedicated alert pins. The overtemperature alarms OT1 and OT2 are asserted if the softwareprogrammed temperature thresholds are exceeded.
OT1 and OT2 can be connected to a fan, system shutdown, or other thermal-management circuitry.
The MAX6695/MAX6696 convert temperatures to digital
data continuously at a programmed rate or by selecting
a single conversion. At the highest conversion rate,
temperature conversion results are stored in the “main”
temperature data registers (at addresses 00h and 01h)
as 7-bit + sign data with the LSB equal to +1°C. At
slower conversion rates, 3 additional bits are available
at addresses 11h and 10h, providing +0.125°C resolution. See Tables 2, 3, and 4 for data formats.
ADC and Multiplexer
The MAX6695/MAX6696 averaging ADC (Figure 1) integrates over a 62.5ms or 125ms period (each channel,
typ), depending on the conversion rate (see Electrical
Characteristics table). The use of an averaging ADC
attains excellent noise rejection.
The MAX6695/MAX6696 multiplexer (Figure 1) automatically steers bias currents through the remote and local
diodes. The ADC and associated circuitry measure
each diode’s forward voltages and compute the temperature based on these voltages. If a remote channel
is not used, connect DXP_ to DXN. Do not leave DXP_
and DXN unconnected. When a conversion is initiated,
all channels are converted whether they are used or
not. The DXN input is biased at one VBE above ground
by an internal diode to set up the ADC inputs for a differential measurement. Resistance in series with the
remote diode causes about +1/2°C error per ohm.
A/D Conversion Sequence
A conversion sequence consists of a local temperature
measurement and two remote temperature measurements. Each time a conversion begins, whether initiated automatically in the free-running autoconvert mode
(RUN/STOP = 0) or by writing a one-shot command, all
three channels are converted, and the results of the
three measurements are available after the end of conversion. Because it is common to require temperature
measurements to be made at a faster rate on one of the
remote channels than on the other two channels, the
conversion sequence is Remote 1, Local, Remote 1,
Remote 2. Therefore, the Remote 1 conversion rate is
6
double that of the conversion rate for either of the other
two channels.
A BUSY status bit in status register 1 (see Table 7 and
the Status Byte Functions section) shows that the
device is actually performing a new conversion. The
results of the previous conversion sequence are always
available when the ADC is busy.
Remote-Diode Selection
The MAX6695/MAX6696 can directly measure the die
temperature of CPUs and other ICs that have on-board
temperature-sensing diodes (see the Typical Operating
Circuit) or they can measure the temperature of a discrete diode-connected transistor.
Effect of Ideality Factor
The accuracy of the remote temperature measurements
depends on the ideality factor (n) of the remote “diode”
(actually a transistor). The MAX6695/MAX6696 (not the
MAX6695Y/MAX6696Y) are optimized for n = 1.008. A
thermal diode on the substrate of an IC is normally a PNP
with its collector grounded. DXP_ must be connected to
the anode (emitter) and DXN must be connected to the
cathode (base) of this PNP.
If a sense transistor with an ideality factor other than
1.008 is used, the output data will be different from the
data obtained with the optimum ideality factor.
Fortunately, the difference is predictable. Assume a
remote-diode sensor designed for a nominal ideality
factor nNOMINAL is used to measure the temperature of
a diode with a different ideality factor n1. The measured
temperature TM can be corrected using:
⎛
⎞
n1
TM = T ACTUAL × ⎜
⎟
⎝ nNOMINAL ⎠
where temperature is measured in Kelvin and
nNOMIMAL for the MAX6695/MAX6696 is 1.008.
As an example, assume you want to use the MAX6695
or MAX6696 with a CPU that has an ideality factor of
1.002. If the diode has no series resistance, the measured data is related to the real temperature as follows:
⎛n
⎞
⎛ 1. 008 ⎞
= TM × (1. 00599 )
T ACTUAL = TM × ⎜ NOMINAL ⎟ = TM × ⎜
⎝ 1. 002 ⎟⎠
n1
⎝
⎠
For a real temperature of +85°C (358.15K), the measured
temperature is +82.87°C (356.02K), an error of -2.13°C.
Effect of Series Resistance
Series resistance (RS) with a sensing diode contributes
additional error. For nominal diode currents of 10μA

and 100μA, the change in the measured voltage due to
series resistance is:
ΔVM = (100μ A − 10μ A) × R S = 90μ A × R S
Since 1°C corresponds to 198.6μV, series resistance
contributes a temperature offset of:

Assume that the sensing diode being measured has a
series resistance of 3Ω. The series resistance contributes a temperature offset of:
°C
3Ω × 0. 453
= + 1 . 36 °C
Ω
The effects of the ideality factor and series resistance
are additive. If the diode has an ideality factor of 1.002
and series resistance of 3Ω, the total offset can be calculated by adding error due to series resistance with
error due to ideality factor:
1.36°C - 2.13°C = -0.77°C
for a diode temperature of +85°C.

MAX6695/MAX6696
Dual Remote/Local Temperature Sensors with
SMBus Serial Interface
In this example, the effect of the series resistance and
the ideality factor partially cancel each other.
Discrete Remote Diodes
When the remote-sensing diode is a discrete transistor,
its collector and base must be connected together.
Table 1 lists examples of discrete transistors that are
appropriate for use with the MAX6695/MAX6696.
The transistor must be a small-signal type with a relatively high forward voltage; otherwise, the A/D input
voltage range can be violated. The forward voltage at
the highest expected temperature must be greater than
0.25V at 10μA, and at the lowest expected temperature, the forward voltage must be less than 0.95V at
100μA. Large power transistors must not be used. Also,
ensure that the base resistance is less than 100Ω. Tight
specifications for forward current gain (50 < ß <150, for
example) indicate that the manufacturer has good
process controls and that the devices have consistent
VBE characteristics.
Manufacturers of discrete transistors do not normally
specify or guarantee ideality factor. This is normally not
a problem since good-quality discrete transistors tend
to have ideality factors that fall within a relatively narrow
range. We have observed variations in remote temperature readings of less than ±2°C with a variety of discrete transistors. Still, it is good design practice to
verify good consistency of temperature readings with
several discrete transistors from any manufacturer
under consideration.
Thermal Mass and Self-Heating
When sensing local temperature, these temperature
sensors are intended to measure the temperature of the
PC board to which they are soldered. The leads provide a good thermal path between the PC board traces
and the die. As with all IC temperature sensors, thermal
conductivity between the die and the ambient air is
poor by comparison, making air temperature measurements impractical. Because the thermal mass of the PC
board is far greater than that of the MAX6695/
MAX6696, the device follows temperature changes on
the PC board with little or no perceivable delay.
When measuring the temperature of a CPU or other IC
with an on-chip sense junction, thermal mass has virtually no effect; the measured temperature of the junction
tracks the actual temperature within a conversion cycle.
When measuring temperature with discrete remote
transistors, the best thermal response times are
obtained with transistors in small packages (i.e., SOT23
or SC70). Take care to account for thermal gradients
between the heat source and the sensor, and ensure

that stray air currents across the sensor package do
not interfere with measurement accuracy.
Self-heating does not significantly affect measurement
accuracy. Remote-sensor self-heating due to the diode
current source is negligible. For local temperature measurements, the worst-case error occurs when autoconverting at the fastest rate and simultaneously sinking
maximum current at the ALERT output. For example,
with VCC = 3.6V, a 4Hz conversion rate and ALERT
sinking 1mA, the typical power dissipation is:
VCC × 500μ A + 0 . 4V × 1mA = 2 . 2mW
θJ-A for the 16-pin QSOP package is about +120°C/W,
so assuming no copper PC board heat sinking, the
resulting temperature rise is:
ΔT = 2. 2mW × 120 °C / W = + 0 . 264 °C
Even under these worst-case circumstances, it is difficult to introduce significant self-heating errors.

The integrating ADC has good noise rejection for lowfrequency signals such as power-supply hum. In environments with significant high-frequency EMI, connect
an external 2200pF capacitor between DXP_ and DXN.
Larger capacitor values can be used for added filtering, but do not exceed 3300pF because it can introduce errors due to the rise time of the switched current
source. High-frequency noise reduction is needed for
high-accuracy remote measurements. Noise can be
reduced with careful PC board layout as discussed in
the PC Board Layout section.
Low-Power Standby Mode
Standby mode reduces the supply current to less than
10μA by disabling the ADC. Enter hardware standby
(MAX6696 only) by forcing STBY low, or enter software
standby by setting the RUN/STOP bit to 1 in the config-

uration byte register. Hardware and software standbys
are very similar; all data is retained in memory, and the
SMBus interface is alive and listening for SMBus commands but the SMBus timeout is disabled. The only difference is that in software standby mode, the one-shot
command initiates a conversion. With hardware standby, the one-shot command is ignored. Activity on the
SMBus causes the device to draw extra supply current.
Driving STBY low overrides any software conversion
command. If a hardware or software standby command
is received while a conversion is in progress, the conversion cycle is interrupted, and the temperature registers are not updated. The previous data is not changed
and remains available.
SMBus Digital Interface
From a software perspective, the MAX6695/MAX6696
appear as a series of 8-bit registers that contain temperature data, alarm threshold values, and control bits.
A standard SMBus-compatible 2-wire serial interface is
used to read temperature data and write control bits
and alarm threshold data. The same SMBus slave
address provides access to all functions.
The MAX6695/MAX6696 employ four standard SMBus
protocols: Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and
Receive Byte (Figure 2). The shorter Receive Byte protocol allows quicker transfers, provided that the correct
data register was previously selected by a Read Byte
instruction. Use caution with the shorter protocols in multimaster systems, since a second master could overwrite
the command byte without informing the first master.
When the conversion rate control register is set ≥ 06h,
temperature data can be read from the read internal
temperature (00h) and read external temperature (01h)
registers. The temperature data format in these registers is 7 bits + sign in two’s-complement form for each
channel, with the LSB representing +1°C (Table 2). The
MSB is transmitted first. Use bit 3 of the configuration
register to select the registers corresponding to remote
1 or remote 2.
When the conversion rate control register is set ≤ 05h,
temperature data can be read from the read internal
temperature (00h) and read external temperature (01h)
registers, the same as for faster conversion rates. An
additional 3 bits can be read from the read external
extended temperature register (10h) and read internal
_______________________________________________________________________________________

extended temperature register (11h) (Table 3), which
extends the temperature data to 10 bits + sign and the
resolution to +0.125°C per LSB (Table 4).
When a conversion is complete, the main register and
the extended register are updated almost simultaneously. Ensure that no conversions are completed
between reading the main and extended registers so
that when data that is read, both registers contain the
result of the same conversion.
To ensure valid extended data, read extended resolution temperature data using one of the following
approaches:
• Put the MAX6695/MAX6696 into standby mode by
setting bit 6 of the configuration register to 1. Read
the contents of the data registers. Return to run
mode by setting bit 6 to zero.
• Put the MAX6695/MAX6696 into standby mode by
setting bit 6 of the configuration register to 1. Initiate
a one-shot conversion using Send Byte command
0Fh. When this conversion is complete, read the
contents of the temperature data registers.

Diode Fault Alarm
There is a continuity fault detector at DXP_ that detects
an open circuit between DXP_ and DXN, or a DXP_
short to VCC, GND, or DXN. If an open or short circuit
exists, the external temperature register (01h) is loaded
with 1000 0000. Bit 2 (diode fault) of the status registers
is correspondingly set to 1. The ALERT output asserts
for open diode faults but not for shorted diode faults.
Immediately after power-on reset (POR), the status register indicates that no fault is present until the end of
the first conversion. After the conversion is complete,
any diode fault is indicated in the appropriate status
register. Reading the status register clears the diode
fault bit in that register, and clears the ALERT output if
set. If the diode fault is present after the next conversion, the status bit will again be set and the ALERT output will assert if the fault is an open diode fault.
Alarm Threshold Registers
Six registers, WLHO, WLLM, WRHA (1 and 2), and
WRLN (1 and 2), store ALERT threshold values. WLHO
and WLLM, are for internal ALERT high-temperature
and low-temperature limits, respectively. Likewise,
WRHA and WRLN are for external channel 1 and channel 2 high-temperature and low-temperature limits,
respectively (Table 5). If either measured temperature
equals or exceeds the corresponding ALERT threshold
value, the ALERT output is asserted. The POR state of
both internal and external ALERT high-temperature limit
registers is 0100 0110 or +70°C.

control register values of 05h or less.

FUNCTION
Temperature hysteresis for OT1 and OT2
Read manufacturer ID
The POR state of both internal and external ALERT lowtemperature limit registers is 1100 1001 or -55°C. Use
bit 3 of the configuration register to select remote 1 or
remote 2 when reading or writing remote thresholds.
Additional registers, RWO1E, RWO1I, RWO2E, and
RWO2I, store remote and local alarm threshold data
information corresponding to the OT1 and OT2 outputs
(See the OT1 and OT2 Overtemperature Alarms section.)
ALERT Interrupt Mode
An ALERT interrupt occurs when the internal or external
temperature reading exceeds a high- or low-temperature limit (both limits are user programmable), or when
the remote diode is disconnected (for continuity fault
detection). The ALERT interrupt output signal is latched
and can be cleared only by reading either of the status
registers or by successfully responding to an Alert
Response address. In both cases, the alert is cleared
but is reasserted at the end of the next conversion if the
fault condition still exists. The interrupt does not halt
automatic conversions. The interrupt output pin is open
drain so that multiple devices can share a common
interrupt line. The interrupt rate never exceeds the conversion rate.
Alert Response Address
The SMBus Alert Response interrupt pointer provides
quick fault identification for simple slave devices. Upon
receiving an interrupt signal, the host master can
broadcast a Receive Byte transmission to the Alert
Response slave address (see Slave Addresses section). Then, any slave device that generated an interrupt attempts to identify itself by putting its own
address on the bus.
The Alert Response can activate several different slave
devices simultaneously, similar to the I2C General Call.
If more than one slave attempts to respond, bus arbitration rules apply, and the device with the lower address
code wins. The losing device does not generate an
acknowledgement and continues to hold the ALERT
line low until cleared. (The conditions for clearing an
alert vary depending on the type of slave device.)
Successful completion of the Alert Response protocol
clears the interrupt latch, provided the condition that
caused the alert no longer exists. If the condition still
12
exists, the device reasserts the ALERT interrupt at the
end of the next conversion.
OT1 and OT2 Overtemperature Alarms
Two registers, RWO1E and RWO1I, store remote and
local alarm threshold data corresponding to the OT1
output. Two other registers, RWO2E and RWO2I, store
remote and local alarm threshold data corresponding
to the OT2 output. The values stored in these registers
are high-temperature thresholds. The OT1 or OT2 output is asserted if any one of the measured temperatures equals or exceeds the corresponding alarm
threshold value.
OT1 and OT2 always operate in comparator mode and
are asserted when the temperature rises above a value
programmed in the appropriate threshold register. They
are deasserted when the temperature drops below this
threshold, minus the programmed value in the hysteresis HYST register (21h). An overtemperature output can
be used to activate a cooling fan, send a warning, initiate clock throttling, or trigger a system shutdown to
prevent component damage. The HYST byte sets the
amount of hysteresis to deassert both OT1 and OT2
outputs. The data format for the HYST byte is 7 bit +
sign with +1°C resolution. Bit 7 of the HYST register
should always be zero.
OT1 responds immediately to temperature faults. OT2
activates either immediately or after four consecutive remote channel temperature faults, depending on
the state of the fault queue bit (bit 5 of the configuration register).
Command Byte Functions
The 8-bit command byte register (Table 5) is the master
index that points to the various other registers within the
MAX6695/MAX6696. This register’s POR state is 0000
0000, so a Receive Byte transmission (a protocol that
lacks the command byte) occurring immediately after
POR returns the current local temperature data.
One-Shot
The one-shot command immediately forces a new conversion cycle to begin. If the one-shot command is
received when the MAX6695/MAX6696 are in software
standby mode (RUN/STOP bit = 1), a new conversion is

begun, after which the device returns to standby mode.
If a conversion is in progress when a one-shot command is received, the command is ignored. If a oneshot command is received in autoconvert mode
(RUN/STOP bit = 0) between conversions, a new conversion begins, the conversion rate timer is reset, and
the next automatic conversion takes place after a full
delay elapses.
Fault Queue Function
To avoid false triggering of the MAX6695/MAX6696 in
noisy environments, a fault queue is provided, which
can be enabled by setting bit 5 (configuration register)
to 1. Four channel 1 fault or two channel 2 fault events
must occur consecutively before the fault output (OT2)
becomes active. Any reading that breaks the sequence
resets the fault queue counter. If there are three overlimit readings followed by a within-limit reading, the
remote channel 1 fault queue counter is reset.
Configuration Byte Functions
The configuration byte register (Table 6) is a read-write
register with several functions. Bit 7 is used to mask
(disable) ALERT interrupts. Bit 6 puts the device into
software standby mode (STOP) or autonomous (RUN)
mode. Bit 5, when 1, enables the Fault Queue. Bit 4 is
reserved. Bit 3 is used to select either remote channel 1
or remote channel 2 for reading temperature data or for
setting or reading temperature limits. Bit 2 disables the
SMBus timeout, as well as the Alert Response. Bit 1
masks ALERT interrupt due to channel 2 when high. Bit
0 masks ALERT interrupt due to channel 1 when high.
Status Byte Functions
The status registers (Tables 7 and 8) indicate which (if
any) temperature thresholds have been exceeded and
if there is an open-circuit fault detected with the external sense junctions. Status register 1 also indicates
whether the ADC is converting. After POR, the normal
state of the registers’ bits is zero (except bit 7 of status
register 1), assuming no alert or overtemperature conditions are present. Bits 0 through 6 of status register 1
and bits 1 through 7 of status register 2 are cleared by
any successful read of the status registers, unless the
fault persists. The ALERT output follows the status flag
bit. Both are cleared when successfully read, but if the
condition still exists, they reassert at the end of the next
conversion.
The bits indicating OT1 and OT2 are cleared only on
reading status even if the fault conditions still exist.
Reading the status byte does not clear the OT1 and
OT2 outputs. One way to eliminate the fault condition is
for the measured temperature to drop below the temperature threshold minus the hysteresis value. Another
way to eliminate the fault condition is by writing new
values for the RWO2E, RWO2I, RWO1E, RWO1I, or
HYST registers so that a fault condition is no longer
present.
When autoconverting, if the THIGH and TLOW limits are
close together, it is possible for both high-temp and
low-temp status bits to be set, depending on the
amount of time between Status Read operations. In
these circumstances, it is best not to rely on the status
bits to indicate reversals in long-term temperature
changes. Instead, use a current temperature reading to
establish the trend direction.

The address pin states are checked at POR and RESET
only, and the address data stays latched to reduce quiescent supply current due to the bias current needed for
high-impedance state detection. The MAX6695/
MAX6696 also respond to the SMBus Alert Response
slave address (see the Alert Response Address section).
POR and UVLO
To prevent unreliable power-supply conditions from
corrupting the data in memory and causing erratic
behavior, a POR voltage detector monitors VCC and
clears the memory if VCC falls below 1.45V (typ; see
Electrical Characteristics). When power is first applied
and VCC rises above 2.0V (typ), the logic blocks begin
operating, although reads and writes at V CC levels
below 3.0V are not recommended.
Power-Up Defaults
• Interrupt latch is cleared.
• Address select pin is sampled.
• ADC begins autoconverting at a 4Hz rate for
channel 2/local and 8Hz for channel 1.
• Command register is set to 00h to facilitate quick
internal Receive Byte queries.
• THIGH and TLOW registers are set to default max
and min limits, respectively.
• Hysteresis is set to 10°C.

PC Board Layout
Follow these guidelines to reduce the measurement
error when measuring remote temperature:
1) Place the MAX6695/MAX6696 as close as is practical to the remote diode. In noisy environments, such
as a computer motherboard, this distance can be
4in to 8in (typ). This length can be increased if the
worst noise sources are avoided. Noise sources
include CRTs, clock generators, memory buses, and
PCI buses.

2) Do not route the DXP-DXN lines next to the deflection coils of a CRT. Also, do not route the traces
across fast digital signals, which can easily introduce +30°C error, even with good filtering.
3) Route the DXP and DXN traces in parallel and in
close proximity to each other. Each parallel pair of
traces (DXP1 and DXN or DXP2 and DXN) should go
to a remote diode. Connect the two DXN traces at
the MAX6695/MAX6696. Route these traces away
from any higher voltage traces, such as +12VDC.

Figure 5. Recommended DXP-DXN PC Traces
Leakage currents from PC board contamination
must be dealt with carefully since a 20MΩ leakage
path from DXP to ground causes about +1°C error.
If high-voltage traces are unavoidable, connect
guard traces to GND on either side of the DXP-DXN
traces (Figure 5).
4) Route through as few vias and crossunders as possible to minimize copper/solder thermocouple
effects.
5) Use wide traces when practical.

PROCESS: BiCMOS
6) When the power supply is noisy, add a resistor (up
to 47Ω) in series with VCC (see Typical Operating
Circuit).

MAX6695/MAX6696
Twisted-Pair and Shielded Cables
Use a twisted-pair cable to connect the remote sensor
for remote-sensor distances longer than 8in or in very
noisy environments. Twisted-pair cable lengths can be
between 6ft and 12ft before noise introduces excessive
errors. For longer distances, the best solution is a
shielded twisted pair like that used for audio microphones. For example, Belden #8451 works well for distances up to 100ft in a noisy environment. At the
device, connect the twisted pair to DXP and DXN and
the shield to GND. Leave the shield unconnected at the
remote sensor.
For very long cable runs, the cable’s parasitic capacitance often provides noise filtering, so the 2200pF
capacitor can often be removed or reduced in value.
Cable resistance also affects remote-sensor accuracy.
For every 1Ω of series resistance the error is approximately +1/2°C.
