Functional Description
Serial Port Operation
The MIC281 uses standard SMBus Write_Byte and Read_Byte operations for communication with its host. The SMBus
Write_Byte operation involves sending the device’s slave address (with the R/W bit low to signal a write operation),
followed by a command byte and the data byte. The SMBus Read_Byte operation is a composite write and read
operation: the host first sends the device’s slave address followed by the command byte, as in a write operation. A new
start bit must then be sent to the MIC281, followed by a repeat of the slave address with the R/W bit (LSB) set to the high
(read) state. The data to be read from the part may then be clocked out. These protocols are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The Command byte is eight bits (one byte) wide. This byte carries the address of the MIC281 register to be operated
upon. The command byte values corresponding to the various MIC281 registers are shown in Table 1. Other command
byte values are reserved, and should not be used.

Slave Address
The MIC281 will only respond to its own unique slave address. A match between the MIC281’s address and the address
specified in the serial bit stream must be made to initiate communication. The MIC281’s slave address is fixed at the time
of manufacture. Eight different slave addresses are available as determined by the part number. See Table 2 and the
Ordering Information table.

Temperature Data Format
The least-significant bit of the temperature register represents one degree Centigrade. The values are in a two’s
complement format, wherein the most significant bit (D7) represents the sign: zero for positive temperatures and one for
negative temperatures. Table 3 shows examples of the data format used by the MIC281 for temperatures.

Diode Faults
The MIC281 is designed to respond in a failsafe manner to diode faults. If an internal or external fault occurs in the
temperature sensing circuitry, such as T1 being open or shorted to VDD or GND, the temperature result will be reported
as the maximum full-scale value of +127°C. Note that diode faults will not be detected until the first A/D conversion cycle
is completed following power-up or exiting shutdown mode.
Shutdown Mode
Setting the shutdown bit in the configuration register will cause the MIC281 to cease operation. The A/D converter will
stop and power consumption will drop to the ISHDN level. No registers will be affected by entering shutdown mode. The last
temperature reading will persist in the TEMP register.

MIC281
In most applications, the DATA pin will have a duty cycle
of substantially below 25% in the low state. These
considerations, combined with more typical device and
application parameters, give a better system-level view of
device self-heating. This is illustrated by the next equation.
In any application, the best approach is to verify
performance against calculation in the final application
environment. This is especially true when dealing with
systems for which some temperature data may be poorly
defined or unobtainable except by empirical means.
Application Information
Remote Diode Section
Most small-signal PNP transistors with characteristics
similar to the JEDEC 2N3906 will perform well as remote
temperature sensors. Table 4 lists several examples of
such parts that Micrel has tested for use with the MIC281.
Other transistors equivalent to these should also work well.

PD = [(0.23mA× 3.3V)+(25% × 1.5mA× 0.15V)] PD =
0.815mW
Rθ(J-A) of SOT23-6 package is 230°C/W, therefore the
typical self-heating is:
0.815mW × 230°C/W = 0.188°C
Series Resistance
The operation of the MIC281 depends upon sensing the
VCB-E of a diode-connected PNP transistor (diode) at two
different current levels. For remote temperature
measurements, this is done using an external diode
connected between T1 and ground. Because this
technique relies upon measuring the relatively small
voltage difference resulting from two levels of current
through the external diode, any resistance in series with
the external diode will cause an error in the temperature
reading from the MIC281. A good rule of thumb is that for
each ohm in series with the external transistor, there will
be a 0.9°C error in the MIC281’s temperature
measurement. It is not difficult to keep the series
resistance well below an ohm (typically <0.1Ω), so this will
rarely be an issue.
Minimizing Errors
Self-Heating
One concern when using a part with the temperature
accuracy and resolution of the MIC281 is to avoid errors
induced by self-heating (VDD × IDD) + (VOL × IOL). In order to
understand what level of error this might represent, and
how to reduce that error, the dissipation in the MIC281
must be calculated and its effects reduced to a
temperature offset. The worst-case operating condition for
the MIC281 is when VDD = 3.6V.The maximum power
dissipated in the part is given in the following equation:
PD = [(IDD × VDD)+(IOL(DATA) × VOL(DATA))]
PD = [(0.4mA× 3.6V)+(6mA× 0.5V)]
PD = 4.44mW
Filter Capacitor Selection
It is usually desirable to employ a filter capacitor between
the T1 and GND pins of the MIC281. The use of this
capacitor is recommended in environments with a lot of
high frequency noise (such as digital switching noise), or if
long traces or wires are used to connect to the remote
diode. The recommended total capacitance from the T1
pin to GND is 2200pF. If the remote diode is to be at a
distance of more than six-to-twelve inches from the
MIC281, using twisted pair wiring or shielded microphone
cable for the connections to the diode can significantly
reduce noise pickup. If using a long run of shielded cable,
remember to subtract the cable’s conductor-to-shield
capacitance from the 2200pF total capacitance.
Rθ(J-A) of SOT23-6 package is 230°C/W, therefore the
theoretical maximum self-heating is:
4.44mW × 230°C/W = 1.02°C

4. Due to the small currents involved in the measurement
of the remote diode’s ∆VBE, it is important to
adequately clean the PC board after soldering to
prevent current leakage. This is most likely to show up
as an issue in situations where water-soluble soldering
fluxes are used.
Layout Considerations
The following guidelines should be kept in mind when
designing and laying out circuits using the MIC281.
1. Place the MIC281 as close to the remote diode as
possible, while taking care to avoid severe noise
sources such as high frequency power transformers,
CRTs, memory and data busses, and the like.
5. In general, wider traces for the ground and T1 lines will
help reduce susceptibility to radiated noise (wider
traces are less inductive). Use trace widths and
spacing of 10mm wherever possible and provide a
ground plane under the MIC281 and under the
connections from the MIC281 to the remote diode.
This will help guard against stray noise pickup.
2. Because any conductance from the various voltages
on the PC board and the T1 line can induce serious
errors, it is good practice to guard the remote diode's
emitter trace with a pair of ground traces. These
ground traces should be returned to the MIC281's own
ground pin. They should not be grounded at any other
part of their run. However, it is highly desirable to use
these guard traces to carry the diode's own ground
return back to the ground pin of the MIC281, thereby
providing a Kelvin connection for the base of the
diode. See Figure 3.
6. Always place a good quality power supply bypass
capacitor directly adjacent to, or underneath, the
MIC281. This should be a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
Surface-mount parts provide the best bypassing
because of their low inductance.
3. When using the MIC281 to sense the temperature of a
processor or other device which has an integral
thermal diode, e.g., Intel's Pentium III, connect the
emitter and base of the remote sensor to the MIC281
using the guard traces and Kelvin return shown in
Figure 3. The collector of the remote diode is typically
inaccessible to the user on these devices.
