DIMM MODULE
The MCP98244 digital temperature sensor comes with
user-programmable registers that provide flexibility for
DIMM temperature-sensing applications. The registers
allow user-selectable settings such as Shutdown or
Low-Power modes and the specification of
temperature Event boundaries. When the temperature
changes beyond the specified Event boundary limits,
the MCP98244 outputs an Alert signal at the Event pin.
The user has the option of setting the temperature
Event output signal polarity as either an active-low or
active-high comparator output for thermostat operation,
or as a temperature Event interrupt output for
microprocessor-based systems.
The MCP98244 EEPROM is designed specifically for
DRAM DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). It has four 128 Byte pages,
which can be Software Write Protected individually.
This allows DRAM vendor and product information to
be stored and write-protected.
This sensor has an industry standard I2C Fast Mode
Plus compatible 1 MHz serial interface.

All values referred to VIL MAX and VIH MIN levels.
If tLOW > tOUT, the temperature sensor I2C interface will time out. A Repeat Start command is required for
communication.
This device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement tSU:DAT  250 ns must
be met. This device does not stretch SCL Low period. It outputs the next data bit to the SDA line within
tR MAX + tSU:DAT MIN = 1000 ns + 250 ns = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification)
before the SCL line is released.
As a transmitter, the device provides internal minimum delay time tHD:DAT MIN to bridge the undefined
region (min. 200 ns) of the falling edge of SCL tF MAX to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop
conditions.
Characterized but not production tested.
As a receiver, SDA should not be sampled at the falling edge of SCL. SDA can transition tHD:DI 0 ns after
SCL toggles Low.

The MCP98244 serial clock input (SCL) and the
bidirectional serial data line (SDA) form a 2-wire

I2C-compatible
communication port (refer to the Input/Output Pin DC
Characteristics Table and Serial Interface Timing
Specifications Table).
The following bus protocol has been defined:
TABLE 4-1:
Term
MCP98244 SERIAL BUS
PROTOCOL DESCRIPTIONS
Description
Master
The device that controls the serial bus,
typically a microcontroller.
Slave
The device addressed by the master,
such as the MCP98244.
Transmitter Device sending data to the bus.
This device supports the Receive Protocol. The
register can be specified using the pointer for the initial
read. Each repeated read or receive begins with a Start
condition and address byte. The MCP98244 retains the
previously selected register. Therefore, they output
data from the previously-specified register (repeated
pointer specification is not necessary).
4.1.2
MASTER/SLAVE
The bus is controlled by a master device (typically a
microcontroller) that controls the bus access and
generates the Start and Stop conditions. The
MCP98244 is a slave device and does not control other
devices in the bus. Both master and slave devices can
operate as either transmitter or receiver. However, the
master device determines which mode is activated.
4.1.3
START/STOP CONDITION
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line (while SCL is
high) is the Start condition. All data transfers must be
preceded by a Start condition from the master. A lowto-high transition of the SDA line (while SCL is high)
signifies a Stop condition.
Receiver
Device receiving data from the bus.
START
A unique signal from master to initiate
serial interface with a slave.
If a Start or Stop condition is introduced during data
transmission, the MCP98244 releases the bus. All data
transfers are ended by a Stop condition from the
master.
STOP
A unique signal from the master to
terminate serial interface from a slave.
4.1.4
Read/Write A read or write to the MCP98244
registers.
ACK
A receiver Acknowledges (ACK) the
reception of each byte by polling the
bus.
NAK
A receiver Not-Acknowledges (NAK) or
releases the bus to show End-of-Data
(EOD).
Busy
Communication is not possible
because the bus is in use.
Not Busy
The bus is in the idle state, both SDA
and SCL remain high.
Data Valid
SDA must remain stable before SCL
becomes high in order for a data bit to
be considered valid. During normal
data transfers, SDA only changes state
while SCL is low.
ADDRESS BYTE
Following the Start condition, the host must transmit an
8-bit address byte to the MCP98244. The address for
the
MCP98244
Temperature
Sensor
is
‘0011,A2,A1,A0’ in binary, where the A2, A1 and A0
bits are set externally by connecting the corresponding
pins to VDD ‘1’ or GND ‘0’. The 7-bit address
transmitted in the serial bit stream must match the
selected address for the MCP98244 to respond with an

DATA TRANSFER
Data transfers are initiated by a Start condition
(START), followed by a 7-bit device address and a
read/write bit. An Acknowledge (ACK) from the slave
confirms the reception of each byte. Each access must
be terminated by a Stop condition (STOP).
Repeated communication is initiated after tB-FREE.
This device does not support sequential register read/
write. Each register needs to be addressed using the
Register Pointer.

DATA VALID
After the Start condition, each bit of data in
transmission needs to be settled for a time specified by
tSU-DATA before SCL toggles from low-to-high (see
Serial Interface Timing Specifications table).

MCP98244
4.1.6
ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK/NAK)
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an ACK bit after the reception of each byte.
The master device must generate an extra clock pulse
for ACK to be recognized.
4.1.7
TIME OUT (TOUT)
If the SCL stays low or high for time specified by tOUT,
the MCP98244 resets the serial interface. This dictates
the minimum clock speed as indicated in the
specification.
The acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line for
tSU-DATA before the low-to-high transition of SCL from
the master. SDA also needs to remain pulled down for
tH-DATA after a high-to-low transition of SCL.
During read, the master must signal an End-of-Data
(EOD) to the slave by not generating an ACK bit (NAK)
once the last bit has been clocked out of the slave. In
this case, the slave will leave the data line released to
enable the master to generate the Stop condition.

Registers
The MCP98244 device has several registers that are
user-accessible. These registers include the Capability
register, Configuration register, Event Temperature
Upper-Boundary and Lower-Boundary Trip registers,
Critical Temperature Trip register, Temperature
register, Manufacturer Identification register and
Device Identification register.
The Temperature register is read-only, used to access
the ambient temperature data. The data is loaded in
parallel to this register after tCONV. The Event
Temperature Upper-Boundary and Lower-Boundary
Trip registers are read/writes. If the ambient
temperature drifts beyond the user-specified limits, the
MCP98244 device outputs a signal using the Event pin
(refer
to
Section 5.2.3
“Event
Output
Configuration”). In addition, the Critical Temperature
Trip register is used to provide an additional critical
temperature limit.
REGISTER 5-1:
The Capability register is used to provide bits
describing the MCP98244’s capability in measurement
resolution, measurement range and device accuracy.
The device Configuration register provides access to
configure the MCP98244’s various features. These
registers are described in further detail in the following
sections.
The registers are accessed by sending a Register
Pointer to the MCP98244 using the serial interface.
This is an 8-bit write-only pointer, and Register 5-1
describes the pointer assignment.

CAPABILITY REGISTER
This is a read-only register used to identify the
temperature sensor capability. The device capability bit
assignments are specified by TSE2004av, and this
device is factory configured to meet the default
conditions as described in Register 5-2 (these values
can not be changed).
For example, the MCP98244 device is capable of
providing temperature at 0.25°C resolution, measuring
temperature below and above 0°C, providing ±1°C and
±2°C accuracy over the active and monitor temperature
ranges
(respectively)
and
providing
userprogrammable temperature event boundary trip limits.

5.1.2
SENSOR CONFIGURATION
REGISTER (CONFIG)
The MCP98244 device has a 16-bit Configuration register (CONFIG) that allows the user to set various functions for a robust temperature monitoring system. Bits
10 thru 0 are used to select Event output boundary
hysteresis, device Shutdown or Low-Power mode,
temperature boundary and critical temperature lock, or
temperature Event output enable/disable. In addition,
the user can select the Event output condition (output
set for TUPPER and TLOWER temperature boundary or
TCRIT only), read Event output status and set Event
output polarity and mode (Comparator Output or
Interrupt Output mode).
Conversion or Shutdown mode is selected using bit 8.
In Shutdown mode, the band gap temperature sensor
circuit stops converting temperature and the Ambient
Temperature register (TA) holds the previous
successfully converted temperature data (see
Section 5.2.1 “Shutdown Mode”). Bits 7 and 6 are
used to lock the user-specified boundaries TUPPER,
TLOWER and TCRIT to prevent an accidental rewrite.
Bits 5 thru 0 are used to configure the temperature
Event output pin. All functions are described in
Register 5-3 (see Section 5.2.3 “Event Output
Configuration”).
The temperature hysteresis bits 10 and 9 can be used
to prevent output chatter when the ambient
temperature gradually changes beyond the userspecified temperature boundary (see Section 5.2.2
“Temperature Hysteresis (THYST)”. The Continuous

TEMPERATURE LIMIT REGISTERS
(TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT)
The MCP98244 device has a 16-bit read/write Event
output Temperature Upper-Boundary Trip register
(TUPPER), a 16-bit Lower-Boundary Trip register
(TLOWER) and a 16-bit Critical Boundary Trip register
(TCRIT) that contains 11-bit data in two’s complement
format (0.25°C). This data represents the maximum
and minimum temperature boundary or temperature
window that can be used to monitor ambient
temperature. If this feature is enabled (Section 5.1.2
“Sensor Configuration Register (CONFIG)”) and the
ambient temperature exceeds the specified boundary
or window, the MCP98244 asserts an Event output.

5.1.4
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
REGISTER (TA)
The MCP98244 device uses a band gap temperature
sensor circuit to output analog voltage proportional to
absolute temperature. An internal  ADC is used to
convert the analog voltage to a digital word. The
converter resolution is set to 0.25°C + sign (11-bit
data). The digital word is loaded to a 16-bit read-only
Ambient Temperature register (TA) that contains 11-bit
temperature data in two’s complement format.
In addition, the TA register uses three bits (bits 15, 14
and 13) to reflect the Event pin state. This allows the
user to identify the cause of the Event output trigger
(see Section 5.2.3 “Event Output Configuration”);
bit 15 is set to ‘1’ if TA is greater than or equal to TCRIT,
bit 14 is set to ‘1’ if TA is greater than TUPPER and bit 13
is set to ‘1’ if TA is less than TLOWER.
The TA register bit assignment and boundary
conditions are described in Register 5-5.
The TA register bits (bits 12 through 0) are double-buffered. Therefore, the user can access the register while,
in the background, the MCP98244 performs an analogto-digital conversion. The temperature data from the 
ADC is loaded in parallel to the TA register at tCONV
refresh rate.

5.1.4.1
TA bits to Temperature Conversion
EQUATION 5-1:
To convert the TA bits to decimal temperature, the
upper three boundary bits (15, 14 and 13) must be
masked out. Then determine the sign bit (bit 12) to
check positive or negative temperature, shift the bits
accordingly and combine the upper and lower bytes of
the 16-bit register. The upper byte contains data for
temperatures greater than 32°C, while the lower byte
contains data for temperature less than 32°C, including
fractional data. When combining the upper and lower
bytes, the upper byte must be Right-shifted by 4 bits (or
multiply by 24) and the lower byte must be Left-shifted
by 4 bits (or multiply by 2-4). Adding the results of the
shifted values provides the temperature data in decimal
format; see Equation 5-1.

Where:

The temperature bits are in two’s complement format,
therefore, positive temperature data and negative temperature data are computed differently. Equation 5-1
shows the temperature computation. The example
instruction code outlined in Figure 5-6 shows the
communication flow, also see Figure 5-7 for timing
diagram.
This example routine assumes the variables and I2C communication subroutines are predefined:

5.2.1
SENSOR FEATURE DESCRIPTION
SHUTDOWN MODE
Shutdown mode disables all power-consuming
activities (including temperature sampling operations)
while leaving the serial interface active. This mode is
selected by setting bit 8 of CONFIG to ‘1’. In this mode,
the device consumes ISHDN. It remains in this mode
until bit 8 is cleared ‘0’ to enable Continuous
Conversion mode, or until power is recycled.
The Shutdown bit (bit 8) cannot be set to ‘1’ while bits
6 and 7 of CONFIG (Lock bits) are set to ‘1’. However,
it can be cleared ‘0’ or returned to Continuous
Conversion while locked.
In Shutdown mode, all registers can be read or written.
However, the serial bus activity increases the shutdown
current.
If the device is shutdown while the Event pin is
asserted, then the Event output will be deasserted
during shutdown. It will remain deasserted until the
device is enabled for normal operation. Once the
device is enabled, it takes tCONV before the device
reasserts the Event output.
5.2.2
TEMPERATURE HYSTERESIS
(THYST)
A hysteresis of 0°C, 1.5°C, 3°C or 6°C can be selected
for the TUPPER, TLOWER and TCRIT temperate
boundaries using bits 10 and 9 of CONFIG. The
hysteresis applies for decreasing temperature only (hot
to cold), or as temperature drifts below the specified
limit.
The hysteresis bits can not be changed if either of the
lock bits, bits 6 and 7 of CONFIG, are set to ‘1’.
5.2.3
EVENT OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The Event output can be enabled using bit 3 of
CONFIG (Event output control bit) and can be
configured as either a comparator output or as Interrupt
Output mode using bit 0 of CONFIG (Event mode). The
polarity can also be specified as an active-high or
active-low using bit 1 of CONFIG (Event polarity). The
Event output requires a pull-up resistor to function.
These configurations are designed to serve processors
with Low-to-High or High-to-Low edge triggered inputs.
With Active-High configuration, when the Event output
deasserts, power will be dissipated across the pull-up
resistor.
When the ambient temperature increases above the
critical temperature limit, the Event output is forced to a
comparator output (regardless of bit 0 of CONFIG).
When the temperature drifts below the critical
temperature limit minus hysteresis, the Event output
automatically returns to the state specified by bit 0 of
CONFIG.
The status of the Event output can be read using bit 4
of CONFIG (Event status). This bit can not be set to ‘1’
in shutdown mode.
Bits 7 and 6 of the CONFIG register can be used to lock
the TUPPER, TLOWER and TCRIT registers. The bits
prevent false triggers at the Event output due to an
accidental rewrite to these registers.
The Event output can also be used as a critical
temperature output using bit 2 of CONFIG (critical
output only). When this feature is selected, the Event
output becomes a comparator output. In this mode, the
interrupt output configuration (bit 0 of CONFIG) is
ignored.
The TUPPER, TLOWER and TCRIT boundary conditions
are described graphically in Figure 5-9.
DS22327C-page 28
 2012-2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
MCP98244
5.2.3.1
Comparator Mode
Comparator mode is selected using bit 0 of CONFIG. In
this mode, the Event output is asserted as active-high
or active-low using bit 1 of CONFIG. Figure 5-9 shows
the conditions that toggle the Event output.
If the device enters Shutdown mode with asserted
Event output, the output will deassert. It will remain
deasserted until the device enters Continuous Conversion mode and after the first temperature conversion is
completed, tCONV. After the initial temperature conversion, TA must satisfy the TUPPER or TLOWER boundary
conditions in order for Event output to be asserted.
Comparator mode is useful for thermostat-type
applications, such as turning on a cooling fan or
triggering a system shutdown when the temperature
exceeds a safe operating range.
5.2.3.2
Interrupt Mode
In the Interrupt mode, the Event output is asserted as
active-high or active-low (depending on the polarity
configuration) when TA drifts above or below TUPPER
and TLOWER limits. The output is de asserted by setting
bit 5 (Interrupt Clear) of CONFIG. If the device enters
Shutdown mode with asserted Event output, the output
will deassert. It will remain deasserted until the device
enters Continuous Conversion mode and after the first
temperature conversion is completed, tCONV. If the interrupt clear bit (Bit 5) is never set, then the Event output will
reassert after the first temperature conversion.
5.2.4
TEMPERATURE RESOLUTION
The MCP98244 device is capable of providing temperature data with 0.5°C to 0.0625°C resolution. The
Resolution can selected using the Resolution register
(Register 5-8) which is located in address
‘00001001’b. This address location is not specified in
JEDEC Standard JC42.4. However, it provides
additional flexibility while being functionally compatible
with JC42.4 and provides a 0.25°C resolution at
125 ms (max.). In order to prevent accidentally changing the resolution and exceeding the 125 ms conversion time, the device must be in Shutdown mode to
change this register. The selected resolution can be
read by user using bit 4 and bit 3 of the Capability register (Register 5-2). A 0.25°C resolution is set as POR
default by factory.

In addition, if TA ≥ TCRIT the Event output is forced as
Comparator mode and asserts until TA < TCRIT - THYST.
While the Event output is asserted, the user must send
the Clear Interrupt command (bit 5 of CONFIG) for Event
output to deassert, when temperature drops below the
critical limit, TA < TCRIT - THYST. Otherwise, Event output
remains asserted (see Figure 5-9 for a graphical description). Switching from Interrupt mode to Comparator mode
also deasserts Event output.
This mode is designed for interrupt-driven microcontroller-based systems. The microcontroller receiving the
interrupt will have to acknowledge the interrupt by setting
bit 5 of CONFIG register from the MCP98244.

DESCRIPTION
5.3.1
BYTE WRITE
To write a byte in the MCP98244 EEPROM, the master
has to specify the memory location or address. Once
the address byte is transmitted correctly followed by a
word address, the word address is stored in the

Page write operations are limited to writing
bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes actually
being written. Physical page boundaries
start at addresses that are integer
multiples of the page buffer size (or ‘page
size’) and end at addresses that are
integer multiples of [page size - 1]. If a
Page Write command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page, as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent page write
operations that would attempt to cross a
page boundary.
Note:
The write Address Byte, word address and the first data
byte are transmitted to the MCP98244 in the same way
as in a byte write. Instead of generating a Stop
condition, the master transmits up to 15 additional data
bytes to the MCP98244, which are temporarily stored
in the on-chip page buffer and will be written into the
memory after the master has transmitted a Stop
condition. Upon receipt of each word, the four lower
order address pointer bits are internally incremented by
one. The higher order four bits of the word address
remain constant. If the master should transmit more
than 16 bytes prior to generating the Stop condition, the
address counter will roll over and the previously
received data will be overwritten. As with the byte write
operation, once the Stop condition is received, an
internal write cycle will begin (Figure 5-11).

BANK OR PAGE SELECTION FOR
EEPROM READ/WRITE OPERATION
There are two 256 byte banks or pages in this device
(512 bytes total). The pages are selected using I2C
Set Page Address (SPA) command byte of ‘0110
1100’ for bank/page 0 and ‘0110 1110’ for bank/page
1, see Table 5-5.
The current page status can be read using the Read
Page Address (RPA) Command. If the device ACK or
NAK the command, then the current page is 0 or 1,
respectively.

WRITE PROTECTION
5.3.4.1
SWP/RPS
The MCP98244 has a Software Write-Protect (SWP)
feature that allows a 128-byte block to be write-protected. There are four 128-byte blocks. Each block is
write protected individually. The write-protected area
can be cleared by sending Clear Write Protect (CWP)
commands for each block.
The SWP (Software Write Protect) feature is invoked
by writing a command byte as shown on Table 5-5. It
can be cleared using the CWP command. In this mode,
the Slave Address pins are ignored. A high voltage VHV
needs to be applied to the A0 pin. RPS (Read Protection Status) can be executed to read protection status.
To access write protection, the device address code of
the Address Byte is set to ‘0110’ instead of ‘1010’. In
this mode, the Slave Address pins are ignored. Once
the device is write protected it will not acknowledge any
write commands to the protected block. Table 5-5
shows the corresponding Address Bytes for the writeprotect feature.
5.3.4.2
TABLE 5-5:
CWP (Clear Write Protect)
The CWP feature is invoked by writing clear write-protect command. A high voltage VHV needs to be applied
to the A0 pin and once the command is executed bank/
Page 0 and bank/Page 1 are cleared. Table 5-5 shows
the bit configuration.

5.3.5
READ OPERATION
5.3.5.1
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations, with the exception that the R/W bit of the
slave address is set to ‘1’. There are three basic types
of read operations: current address read, random read
and sequential read.
Current Address Read
The MCP98244 contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed,
internally incremented by ‘1’. Therefore, if the previous
access (either a read or write operation) was to
address n, the next current address read operation
would access data from address n+1. Upon receipt of
the slave address with R/W bit set to ‘1’, the MCP98244
issues an acknowledge and transmits the 8-bit data
word. The master will not acknowledge (NAK) the
transfer but does generate a Stop condition and the
MCP98244 discontinues transmission (Figure 5-14).

Random Read
set. The master then issues the Address Byte again,
but with the R/W bit set to a ‘1’. The MCP98244 then
issues an acknowledge and transmits the 8-bit data
word. The master will not acknowledge the transfer but
does generate a stop condition and the MCP98244
discontinues transmission (Figure 5-15).
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, the word address must first
be set. This is done by sending the word address to the
MCP98244 as part of a write operation. Once the word
address is sent, the master generates a start condition
following the acknowledge. This terminates the write
operation, but not before the internal address pointer is

5.3.5.3
Sequential Read
To provide sequential reads, the MCP98244 contains
an internal address pointer, which is incremented by
one at the completion of each operation. This address
pointer allows the entire memory contents to be serially
read during one operation.
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read, with the exception that after the
MCP98244 transmits the first data byte, the master
issues an acknowledge, as opposed to a stop condition
in a random read. This directs the MCP98244 to
transmit the next sequentially addressed 8-bit word
(Figure 5-16).

STANDBY MODE
The design will incorporate a low-power Standby mode
(ISHDN). Standby mode will be entered after a normal
termination of any operation and after all internal
functions are complete. This would include any error
conditions occurring, such as improper number of clock
cycles or improper instruction byte as defined
previously.

Summary of Power-On Default
The MCP98244 has an internal Power-On Reset
(POR) circuit. If the power supply voltage VDD glitches
down to the VPOR_TS and VPOR_EE thresholds, the
device resets the registers to the power-on default
settings.
Table 5-8 shows the power-on default summary for the
temperature sensor. The EEPROM resets the address
pointer to 0x00 hex.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Layout Considerations
6.2
Thermal Considerations
A potential for self-heating errors can exist if the
MCP98244 SDA, SCLK and Event lines are heavily
loaded with pull-ups (high current). Typically, the selfheating error is negligible because of the relatively
small current consumption of the MCP98244. A
temperature accuracy error of approximately 0.5°C
could result from self-heating if the communication pins
sink/source the maximum current specified.
The MCP98244 device does not require any additional
components besides the master controller in order to
measure temperature. However, it is recommended
that a decoupling capacitor of 0.1 µF to 1 µF be used
between the VDD and GND pins. A high-frequency
ceramic capacitor is recommended. It is necessary for
the capacitor to be located as close as possible to the
power and ground pins of the device in order to provide
effective noise protection.
For example, if the Event output is loaded to maximum
IOL, Equation 6-1 can be used to determine the effect
of self-heating.
In addition, good PCB layout is key for better thermal
conduction from the PCB temperature to the sensor
die. For good temperature sensitivity, add a ground
layer under the device pins as shown in Figure 6-1.
EQUATION 6-1:
EFFECT OF SELFHEATING

At room temperature (TA = +25°C) with maximum

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
