The ADT7483A1 is a three-channel digital thermometer and
under/over temperature alarm, intended for use in PCs and
thermal management systems. It can measure the temperature
in two remote locations, for example, the remote thermal diode
in a CPU or GPU, or a discrete diode connected transistor. It can
also measure its own ambient temperature. The temperature of the
remote thermal diode and ambient temperature can be accurately
measured to ±1°C. The temperature measurement range defaults to
0°C to 127°C, compatible with ADM1032, but can be switched
to a wider measurement range, from −64°C to +191°C.
The ADT7483A communicates over a 2-wire serial interface
compatible with system management bus (SMBus) standards.
The SMBus address is set by the ADD0 and ADD1 pins. As
many as nine different SMBus addresses are possible.
APPLICATIONS
Desktop and notebook computers
Industrial controllers
Smart batteries
Automotive
Embedded systems
Burn-in applications
Instrumentation
An ALERT output signals when the on-chip or remote
temperature is outside the programmed limits. The THERM
output is a comparator output that allows, for example, on/off
control of a cooling fan. The ALERT output can be reconfigured
as a second THERM output, if required.

ADT7483A
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADT7483A is a local and 2x remote temperature sensor
and over/under temperature alarm. When the ADT7483A is
operating normally, the on-board ADC operates in a freerunning mode. The analog input multiplexer alternately selects
either the on-chip temperature sensor or one of the remote
temperature sensors to measure its local temperature. The ADC
digitizes these signals, and the results are stored in the local,
Remote 1, and Remote 2 temperature value registers.
emitter voltage (VBE) of a transistor, operated at constant
current. Unfortunately, this technique requires calibration to
null the effect of the absolute value of VBE, which varies from
device to device. The technique used in the ADT7483A is to
measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at two
different currents.
Figure 15 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure
the output of a remote temperature sensor. This figure shows
the remote sensor as a substrate transistor, but it could equally
be a discrete transistor. If a discrete transistor is used, the
collector is not grounded and should be linked to the base. To
prevent ground noise interfering with the measurement, the
more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground
but is biased above ground by an internal diode at the D− input.
C1 can be optionally added as a noise filter (recommended
maximum value 1,000 pF).
The local and remote measurement results are compared with
the corresponding high, low, and THERM temperature limits
stored in on-chip registers. Out-of-limit comparisons generate
flags that are stored in the status register. A result that exceeds
the high temperature limit, the low temperature limit, or a
remote diode open circuit causes the ALERT output to assert
low. Likewise, exceeding THERM temperature limits causes the
THERM output to assert low. The ALERT output can be
reprogrammed as a second THERM output.
To measure ΔVBE, the operating current through the sensor is
switched among two related currents, I and N × I. The currents
through the temperature diode are switched between I and N × I,
giving ΔVBE. The temperature is then calculated using the ΔVBE
measurement.
The limit registers can be programmed, and the device
controlled and configured, via the serial SMBus. The contents
of any register can also be read back via the SMBus.
Control and configuration functions consist of:
•
Switching the device between normal operation and
standby mode.
•
Selecting the temperature measurement scale.
•
Masking or enabling the ALERT output.
•
Switching Pin 13 between ALERT and THERM2.
•
Selecting the conversion rate.
The resulting ΔVBE waveforms pass through a 65 kHz low-pass
filter to remove noise and then to a chopper-stabilized
amplifier. This amplifies and rectifies the waveform to produce
a dc voltage proportional to ΔVBE. The ADC digitizes this
voltage and produces a temperature measurement. To reduce
the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging
the results of 16 measurement cycles for low conversion rates.
At rates of 16, 32, and 64 conversions/second, no digital
averaging takes place.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT METHOD
Signal conditioning and measurement of the local temperature
sensor is performed in the same manner.
A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit the
negative temperature coefficient of a diode, measuring the base-

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT RESULTS
The results of the local and remote temperature measurements
are stored in the local and remote temperature value registers
and are compared with limits programmed into the local and
remote high and low limit registers.
The local temperature measurement is an 8-bit measurement
with 1°C resolution. The remote temperature measurements are
10-bit measurements, with eight MSBs stored in one register
and two LSBs stored in another register. Table 5 lists the
temperature measurement registers.

By setting Bit 3 of the Configuration 1 Register to 1, the
Remote 2 temperature values can be read from the following
register addresses:
Remote 2, MSBs = 0x01
Remote 2, LSBs = 0x10
The above is true only when Bit 3 of the Configuration 1
register is set. To read the Remote 1 temperatures, this bit needs
to be switched back to 0.
Only the two MSBs in the remote temperature low byte are
used. This gives the remote temperature measurement a
resolution of 0.25°C. Table 6 shows the data format for the
remote temperature low byte.

1 000 0000
1 100 0000
When reading the full remote temperature value, both the high
and low byte, the two registers should be read LSB first and then
the MSB. This is because reading the LSB will cause the MSB to
be locked until it is read, guaranteeing that the two values read
are a result of the same temperature measurement.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT RANGE
The temperature measurement range for both local and remote
measurements is, by default, 0°C to 127°C. However, the
ADT7483A can be operated using an extended temperature
range from −64°C to +191°C. This means, the ADT7483A can
measure the full temperature range of a remote thermal diode,
from −55°C to +150°C. The user can switch between these two
temperature ranges by setting or clearing Bit 2 in the Configuration 1 register. A valid result is available in the next measurement
cycle after changing the temperature range.
In extended temperature mode, the upper and lower temperatures
that can be measured by the ADT7483A are limited by the remote
diode selection. The temperature registers themselves can have
values from −64°C to +191°C. However, most temperature sensing
diodes have a maximum temperature range of −55°C to +150°C.
Note that although both local and remote temperature measurements can be made while the part is in extended temperature
mode, the ADT7483A should not be exposed to temperatures
greater than those specified in theAbsolute Maximum Ratings
section. Further, the device is only guaranteed to operate as
specified at ambient temperatures from −40°C to +120°C.
TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
The ADT7483A has two temperature data formats. When the
temperature measurement range is from 0°C to 127°C (default),
the temperature data format for both local and remote temperature
results is binary. When the measurement range is in extended
mode, an offset binary data format is used for both local and
remote results. Temperature values in the offset binary data
format are offset by +64. Examples of temperatures in both data
formats are shown in Table 7.

The user may switch between measurement ranges at any time.
Switching the range also switches the data format. The next
temperature result following the switching is reported back to
the register in the new format. However, the contents of the
limit registers do not change. It is up to the user to ensure that
when the data format changes, the limit registers are
reprogrammed as necessary (for more information, see the
Limit Registers section).
REGISTERS
The registers in the ADT7483A are eight bits wide. These
registers are used to store the results of remote and local
temperature measurements, and high and low temperature
limits, and to configure and control the device. A description of
these registers is provided in this section.
Address Pointer Register
The address pointer register does not have, nor does it require,
an address because the first byte of every write operation is
automatically written to this register. The data in this first byte
always contains the address of another register on the ADT7483A,
which is stored in the address pointer register. It is to this other
register address that the second byte of a write operation is
written, or to which a subsequent read operation is performed.
The power-on default value of the address pointer register is
0x00, so if a read operation is performed immediately after
power-on without first writing to the address pointer, the value
of the local temperature will be returned, since its register
address is 0x00.
Temperature Value Registers
The ADT7483A has five registers to store the results of local
and remote temperature measurements. These registers can
only be written to by the ADC and can be read by the user over
the SMBus.
•
The local temperature value register is at Address 0x00.
•
The Remote 1 temperature value high byte register is
at Address 0x01, with the Remote 1 low byte register at
Address 0x10.
•
The Remote 2 temperature value high byte register is
at Address 0x30, with the Remote 2 low byte register
at Address 0x33.
•
The Remote 2 temperature values can be read from
Address 0x01 for the high byte and Address 0x10 for
the low byte if Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 is set to 1.
•
To read the Remote 1 temperature values, Bit 3 of
Configuration Register 1 should be set to 0.
•
The power-on default for all five registers is 0x00.

Setting this bit to 1 masks all ALERTs on the ALERT pin. Default = 0 = ALERT enabled. This applies only if Pin 13
is configured as ALERT, otherwise it has no effect.
Setting this bit to 1 places the ADT7483A in standby mode, that is, suspends all temperature measurements
(ADC). The SMBus remains active and values can be written to, and read from, the registers. THERM and ALERT
are also active in standby mode. Changes made to the limit registers in standby mode that affect the THERM or
ALERT outputs will cause these signals to be updated. Default = 0 = temperature monitoring enabled.
This bit selects the function of Pin 13. Default = 0 = ALERT. Setting this bit to 1 configures Pin 13 as the
THERM2 pin.
Reserved for future use.
Setting this bit to 1 enables the user to read the Remote 2 values from the Remote 1 registers.
Default = 0 = Remote 1 temperature values and limits are read from these registers. This bit is not lockable.
Setting this bit to 1 enables the extended temperature measurement range (−50°C to +150°C).

Conversion Rate/Channel Selector Register
The conversion rate/channel selector register is at Address 0x04
for reads, and Address 0x0A for writes. The four LSBs of this
register are used to program the conversion times from 15.5 ms
(Code 0x0A) to 16 seconds (Code 0x00). To program the
ADT7483A to perform continuous measurements, set the
conversion rate register to 0x0B. For example, a conversion rate
of 8 conversions/second means that beginning at 125 ms
intervals, the device performs a conversion on the local and the
remote temperature channels.
This register can be written to and read back over the SMBus.
The default value of this register is 0x07, giving a rate of
8 conversions/second.
Bit 7 in this register can be used to disable averaging of the
temperature measurements. The ADT7483A can be configured
to take temperature measurements of either a single temperature
channel or all temperature channels. Bit 5 and Bit 4 can be used
to specify which temperature channel or channels are measured.

Limit Registers
The ADT7483A has three limits for each temperature channel:
high, low, and THERM temperature limits for local, Remote 1,
and Remote 2 temperature measurements. The remote temperature
high and low limits span two registers each to contain an upper
and lower byte for each limit. There is also a THERM hysteresis
register. All limit registers can be written to and read back over
the SMBus. See Table 8 for details of the limit registers’ addresses
and their power-on default values.
When Pin 13 is configured as an ALERT output, the high limit
registers perform a > comparison while the low limit registers
perform a ≤ comparison. For example, if the high limit register
is programmed with 80°C, then measuring 81°C will result in
an out-of-limit condition, setting a flag in the status register. If
the low limit register is programmed with 0°C, measuring 0°C
or lower will result in an out-of-limit condition.
exceeding either the local limit or remote high limit asserts
THERM2 low. A default hysteresis value of 10°C is provided
that applies to both THERM channels. This hysteresis value may
be reprogrammed to any value after power-up using Register
Address 0x21.
It is important to remember that the data format for temperature
limits is the same as the temperature measurement data format.
Thus, if the temperature measurement uses the default (binary),
then the temperature limits also use the binary scale. If the
temperature measurement scale is switched, however, the
temperature limits do not automatically switch. The user must
reprogram the limit registers to the desired value in the correct
data format. For example, if the remote low limit is set at 10°C
and the default binary scale is being used, the limit register
value should be 0000 1010b. If the scale is switched to offset
binary, the value in the low temperature limit register should be
reprogrammed to be 0100 1010b.
Exceeding either the local or remote THERM limit asserts
THERM low. When Pin 13 is configured as THERM2,

condition has gone away and the status register flag bits have
been reset.
When Flag 1 and/or Flag 0 of Status Register 1, or Flag 1 of
Status Register 2 are set, the THERM output goes low to
indicate that the temperature measurements are outside the
programmed limits. The THERM output does not need to be
reset, unlike the ALERT output. Once the measurements are
within the limits, the corresponding status register bits are
automatically reset and the THERM output goes high. The user
may add hysteresis by programming Register 0x21. The
THERM output will be reset only when the temperature falls
below the THERM limit minus hysteresis.
When Pin 13 is configured as THERM2, only the high
temperature limits are relevant. If Flag 6, Flag 4 of Status
Register 1, or Flag 4 of Status Register 2 are set, the THERM2
output goes low to indicate that the temperature measurements
are outside the programmed limits. Flag 5 and Flag 3 of Status
Register 1, and Flag 3 of Status Register 2 have no effect on
THERM2. The behavior of THERM2 is otherwise the same as
THERM.
Bit 0 of Status Register 2 is set whenever the ALERT output of
the ADT7483A is asserted low. This means that the user need
only read Status Register 2 to determine if the ADT7483A is
responsible for the ALERT. Bit 0 of Status Register 2 is reset
when the ALERT output is reset. If the ALERT output is
masked, then this bit is not set.

These flags stay high until the status register is read, or they are reset by POR.
The eight flags that can generate an ALERT are NOR’d together,
so if any of them are high, the ALERT interrupt latch is set and
the ALERT output goes low (provided they are not masked out).
Reading the Status 1 register will clear the five flags, Bit 6 to
Bit 2 in Status Register 1, provided the error conditions that
caused the flags to be set have gone away. Reading the Status 2
register will clear the three flags, Bit 4 to Bit 2 in Status Register 2,
provided the error conditions that caused the flags to be set
have gone away. A flag bit can only be reset if the corresponding
value register contains an in-limit measurement or if the sensor
is good.
The ALERT interrupt latch is not reset by reading the status
register. It is reset when the ALERT output has been serviced by
The offset values are stored as 10-bit, twos complement values.
The Remote 1 offset MSBs are stored in Register 0x11, and the
LSBs are stored 0x12 (low byte, left justified). The Remote 2
offset MSBs are stored in Register 0x34, and the LSBs are stored
0x35 (low byte, left justified). The Remote 2 offset can be
written to, or read from, the Remote 1 offset registers if Bit 3 of
the Configuration 1 register is set to 1. This bit should be set to
0 (default) to read the Remote 1 offset values.
Only the upper 2 bits of the LSB registers are used. The MSB of
the MSB offset registers is the sign bit. The minimum offset that
can be programmed is −128°C, and the maximum is +127.75°C.
The value in the offset register is added or subtracted to the
measured value of the remote temperature.
The offset register powers up with a default value of 0°C and
will have no effect unless the user writes a different value to it.

The value written to this register determines how many out-oflimit measurements must occur before an ALERT is generated.
The default value is that one out-of-limit measurement generates
an ALERT. The maximum value that can be chosen is 4. The
purpose of this register is to allow the user to perform some
filtering of the output. This is particularly useful at the fastest
three conversion rates, where no averaging takes place. This
register is at Address 0x22.

One-Shot Register
The one-shot register is used to initiate a conversion and
comparison cycle when the ADT7483A is in standby mode,
after which the device returns to standby. Writing to the oneshot register address (0x0F) causes the ADT7483A to perform
a conversion and comparison on both the local and the remote
temperature channels. This is not a data register as such, and it
is the write operation to Address 0x0F that causes the one-shot
conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and is
not stored.

Writing to Address 0F causes the ADT7483A to perform a single measurement. It is not a data register, as such, and it does not matter what data is written to it.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADT7483A is carried out via the serial bus. The
ADT7483A is connected to the serial bus as a slave device,
under the control of a master device.
The ADT7483A has an SMBus timeout feature. When this is
enabled, the SMBus typically times out after 25 ms of no activity.
However, this feature is not enabled by default. Bit 7 (SCL
timeout bit) of the consecutive ALERT register (Address = 0x22)
should be set to enable the SCL timeout. Bit 6 (SDA timeout bit)
of the consecutive ALERT register (Address = 0x22) should be set
to enable the SDA timeout.
The ADT7483A supports packet error checking (PEC) and its
use is optional. It is triggered by supplying the extra clock for
the PEC byte. The PEC byte is calculated using CRC-8. The
frame check sequence (FCS) conforms to CRC-8 by the
polynomial
C (x ) = x8 + x2 + x1 + 1
Although only two address pins are provided, these are threestate, and can be grounded, left unconnected, or tied to VDD, so
that a total of nine different addresses are possible, as shown in
Table 16. It should be noted that the state of the address pins is
only sampled at power-up, so changing them after power-up
has no effect.

The serial bus protocol operates as follows:
Consult the SMBus 1.1 specification for more information
(www.smbus.org).
1.
ADDRESSING THE DEVICE
Address Pins
In general, every SMBus device has a 7-bit device address
(except for some devices that have extended, 10-bit addresses).
When the master device sends a device address over the bus,
the slave device with that address will respond. The ADT7483A
has two address pins, ADD0 and ADD1, to allow selection of
the device address, so that several ADT7483As can be used on
the same bus, and/or to avoid conflict with other devices.
Rev. 0 | Page 16 of 24
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line (SDATA), while the serial clock line (SCLK)
remains high. This indicates that an address/data stream
follows. All slave peripherals connected to the serial bus
respond to the start condition and shift in the next eight
bits, consisting of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus an R/W
bit, which determines the direction of the data transfer,
that is, whether data will be written to, or read from, the
slave device. The peripheral whose address corresponds to
the transmitted address responds by pulling the data line
low during the low period before the ninth clock pulse,
known as the acknowledge bit. All other devices on the bus
ADT7483A
pulse, then high during the tenth clock pulse to assert a
stop condition.
now remain idle while the selected device waits for data
to be read from or written to it. If the R/W bit is a 0, the
master writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the
master reads from the slave device.
2.
3.
Any number of bytes of data may be transferred over the serial
bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read and write
in one operation because the type of operation is determined at
the beginning and cannot subsequently be changed without
starting a new operation. For the ADT7483A, write operations
contain either one or two bytes, while read operations contain
one byte.
Data is sent over the serial bus in a sequence of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit
from the slave device. Transitions on the data line must
occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain
stable during the high period, since a low-to-high transition
when the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop signal.
The number of data bytes that can be transmitted over the
serial bus in a single read or write operation is limited only
by what the master and slave devices can handle.
To write data to one of the device data registers, or to read data
from it, the address pointer register must be set so that the
correct data register is addressed. The first byte of a write
operation always contains a valid address that is stored in the
address pointer register. If data is to be written to the device, the
write operation contains a second data byte that is written to the
register selected by the address pointer register (see Figure 16).
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop
conditions are established. In write mode, the master will
pull the data line high during the tenth clock pulse to assert
a stop condition. In read mode, the master device will
override the acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high
during the low period before the ninth clock pulse. This is
known as no acknowledge. The master will then take the
data line low during the low period before the tenth clock
The device address is sent over the bus followed by R/W set
to 0. This is followed by two data bytes. The first data byte is
the address of the internal data register to be written to, which
is stored in the address pointer register. The second data byte is
the data to be written to the internal data register.

Figure 18. Reading from a Previously Selected Register
•
If the address pointer register value of the ADT7483A is
unknown or not the desired value, it is first necessary to set
it to the correct value before data can be read from the
desired data register. This is done by performing a write to
the ADT7483A as before, but only the data byte containing
the register read address is sent, as data is not to be written
to the register (see Figure 17).
The ALERT output can be used as an interrupt signal to a
processor, or it can be used as an SMBALERT. Slave devices on
the SMBus cannot normally signal to the bus master that they
want to talk, but the SMBALERT function allows them to do so.
One or more ALERT outputs can be connected to a common
SMBALERT line connected to the master. When the
SMBALERT line is pulled low by one of the devices, the
following procedure occurs, as shown in Figure 19.
A read operation is then performed consisting of the serial
bus address, R/W bit set to 1, followed by the data byte
read from the data register (see Figure 18).
•
If the address pointer register is known to be already at the
desired address, data can be read from the corresponding
data register without first writing to the address pointer
register and the bus transaction shown in Figure 17 can
be omitted.
Notes
•
•
It is possible to read a data byte from a data register
without first writing to the address pointer register.
However, if the address pointer register is already at the
correct value, it is not possible to write data to a register
without writing to the address pointer register because the
first data byte of a write is always written to the address
pointer register.
Remember that some of the ADT7483A registers have
different addresses for read and write operations. The write
address of a register must be written to the address pointer
if data is to be written to that register, but it may not be
possible to read data from that address. The read address
of a register must be written to the address pointer before
data can be read from that register.

When reading data from a register there are two possibilities:
Figure 19. Use of SMBALERT
1.
SMBALERT is pulled low.
2.
Master initiates a read operation and sends the alert
response address (ARA = 0001 100). This is a general call
address that must not be used as a specific device address.
3.
The device whose ALERT output is low responds to the
alert response address, and the master reads its device
address. The device address is seven bits, so an LSB of 1 is
added. The address of the device is now known and it can
be interrogated in the usual way.
4.
If more than one device’s ALERT output is low, the one
with the lowest device address will have priority, in
accordance with normal SMBus arbitration.
5.
Once the ADT7483A has responded to the alert response
address, it will reset its ALERT output, provided that the
error condition that caused the ALERT no longer exists. If
the SMBALERT line remains low, the master will send the
ARA again, and so on, until all devices whose ALERT outputs
were low have responded.
ALERT OUTPUT
This is applicable when Pin 13 is configured as an ALERT
output. The ALERT output goes low whenever an out-of-limit
measurement is detected, or if the remote temperature sensor is
open circuit. It is an open-drain output and requires a pull-up
to VDD. Several ALERT outputs can be wire-OR’ed together, so
that the common line will go low if one or more of the ALERT
outputs goes low.
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 24
ADT7483A
If a remote sensor is not used with the ADT7483A, then the D+
and D− inputs of the ADT7483A need to be tied together to
prevent the OPEN flag from being continuously set.
MASKING THE ALERT OUTPUT
The ALERT output can be masked for local, Remote 1,
Remote 2, or all three channels. This is done by setting the
appropriate mask bits in either the Configuration 1 register
(read address = 0x03, write address = 0x09) or in the
consecutive ALERT register (address = 0x22)
To mask ALERTs due to local temperature, set Bit 5 of the
consecutive ALERT register to 1. Default = 0.
To mask ALERTs due to Remote 1 temperature, set Bit 1 of the
Configuration 1 register to 1. Default = 0.
To mask ALERTs due to Remote 2 temperature, set Bit 0 of the
Configuration 1 register to 1. Default = 0.
To mask ALERTs due to any channel, set Bit 7 of the
Configuration 1 register to 1. Default = 0.
LOW POWER STANDBY MODE
The ADT7483A can be put into low power standby mode by
setting Bit 6 (Mon/STBY bit) of the Configuration 1 register
(read address = 0x03, write address = 0x09) to 1. When Bit 6 is
0, the ADT7483A operates normally. When Bit 6 is 1, the ADC
is inhibited, and any conversion in progress is terminated
without writing the result to the corresponding value register.
The SMBus is still enabled. Power consumption in the standby
mode is reduced to less than 5 μA.
When the device is in standby mode, it is still possible to initiate
a one-shot conversion of both channels by writing to the oneshot register (Address 0x0F), after which the device will return
to standby. It does not matter what is written to the one-shot
register, all data written to it is ignored.
It is also possible to write new values to the limit register while
in standby mode. If the values stored in the temperature value
registers are now outside the new limits, an ALERT is
generated, even though the ADT7483A is still in standby.
SENSOR FAULT DETECTION
The ADT7483A has internal sensor fault detection circuitry
located at its D+ input. This circuit can detect situations where
a remote diode is not connected, or is incorrectly connected, to
the ADT7483A. A simple voltage comparator trips if the voltage
at D+ exceeds VDD − 1 V (typical), signifying an open circuit
between D+ and D−. The output of this comparator is checked
when a conversion is initiated. Bit 2 (D1 OPEN flag) of the
Status Register 1 (Address 0x02) is set if a fault is detected on
the Remote 1 channel. Bit 2 (D2 OPEN flag) of the Status
Register 2 (Address 0x23) is set if a fault is detected on the
Remote 2 channel. If the ALERT pin is enabled, setting this flag
will cause ALERT to assert low.
Most temperature sensing diodes have an operating temperature
range of −55°C to +150°C. Above 150°C, they lose their
semiconductor characteristics and approximate conductors
instead. This results in a diode short, setting the OPEN flag. The
remote diode in this case no longer gives an accurate temperature
measurement. A read of the temperature result register will give
the last good temperature measurement. The user should be
aware that, while the diode fault is triggered, the temperature
measurement on the remote channels may not be accurate.
INTERRUPT SYSTEM
The ADT7483A has two interrupt outputs, ALERT and
THERM. Both outputs have different functions and behavior.
ALERT is maskable and responds to violations of software
programmed temperature limits or an open-circuit fault on the
remote diode. THERM is intended as a fail-safe interrupt
output that cannot be masked.
If the Remote 1, Remote 2, or local temperature exceeds the
programmed high temperature limits, or equals or exceeds the
low temperature limits, the ALERT output is asserted low. An
open-circuit fault on the remote diode also causes ALERT to
assert. ALERT is reset when serviced by a master reading its
device address, provided the error condition has gone away and
the status register has been reset.
Similarly, the THERM output asserts low if the Remote 1,
Remote 2, or local temperature exceeds the programmed
THERM limits. The THERM temperature limits should
normally be equal to or greater than the high temperature
limits. THERM is automatically reset when the temperature
falls back within the (THERM − Hysteresis) limit. The local and
remote THERM limits are set by default to 85°C. An hysteresis
value can be programmed, in which case, THERM resets when
the temperature falls to the limit value minus the hysteresis
value. This applies to both local and remote measurement
channels. The power-on hysteresis default value is 10°C, but this
may be reprogrammed to any value after power-up.
The hysteresis loop on the THERM outputs is useful when
THERM is used for on/off control of a fan. The user’s system
can be set up so that when THERM asserts, a fan can be
switched on to cool the system. When THERM goes high again,
the fan can be switched off. Programming an hysteresis value
protects from fan jitter, wherein the temperature hovers around
the THERM limit and the fan is constantly being switched.

Figure 20 shows how the THERM and ALERT outputs operate.
The ALERT output can be used as an SMBALERT to signal to
the host via the SMBus that the temperature has risen. If the
temperature continues to increase, the THERM output can be
used to turn on a fan to cool the system. This method ensures
that there is a fail-safe mechanism to cool the system, without
the need for host intervention.
Pin 13 on the ADT7483A can be configured as either an
ALERT output or as an additional THERM output. THERM2
will assert low when the temperature exceeds the programmed
local and/or remote high temperature limits. It is reset in the
same manner as THERM, and it is not maskable. The programmed
hysteresis value also applies to THERM2. Figure 21 shows how
THERM and THERM2 might operate together to implement two
methods of cooling the system. In this example, the THERM2
limits are set lower than the THERM limits. The THERM2 output
can be used to turn on a fan. If the temperature continues to
rise and exceeds the THERM limits, the THERM output can
provide additional cooling by throttling the CPU.

If the measured temperature exceeds the high temperature
limit, the ALERT output asserts low.

When the THERM2 limit is exceeded, the THERM2 signal
asserts low.
If the temperature continues to increase and exceeds the
THERM limit, the THERM output asserts low. This can
be used to throttle the CPU clock or switch on a fan.
•
If the temperature continues to increase and exceeds the
THERM limit, the THERM output asserts low.

The THERM output deasserts (goes high) when the
temperature falls to THERM limit minus hysteresis. In
Figure 20, the default hysteresis value of 10°C is shown.
•
The THERM output deasserts (goes high) when the
temperature falls to THERM limit minus hysteresis. In
Figure 21, there is no hysteresis value shown.
•
The ALERT output deasserts only when the temperature
has fallen below the high temperature limit, and the master
has read the device address and cleared the status register.
•
As the system cools further, and the temperature falls
below the THERM2 limit, the THERM2 signal resets.
Again, no hysteresis value is shown for THERM2.
The temperature measurement can be either the local or the
remote temperature measurement.

ADT7483A
APPLICATIONS
NOISE FILTERING
For temperature sensors operating in noisy environments,
previous practice was to place a capacitor across the D+ and D−
pins to help combat the effects of noise. However, large capacitances
affect the accuracy of the temperature measurement, leading to a
recommended maximum capacitor value of 1,000 pF.
If a discrete transistor is used with the ADT7483A, the best
accuracy is obtained by choosing devices according to the
following criteria:
•
Base-emitter voltage greater than 0.25 V at 6 μA, at the
highest operating temperature.
•
Base-emitter voltage less than 0.95 V at 100 μA, at the
lowest operating temperature.
•
Base resistance less than 100 Ω.
•
Small variation in hFE (50 to 150) that indicates tight
control of VBE characteristics.
FACTORS AFFECTING DIODE ACCURACY
Remote Sensing Diode
The ADT7483A is designed to work with substrate transistors
built into processors or with discrete transistors. Substrate
transistors will generally be PNP types with the collector
connected to the substrate. Discrete types can be either a PNP
or NPN transistor connected as a diode (base shorted to
collector). If an NPN transistor is used, the collector and base
are connected to D+ and the emitter to D−. If a PNP transistor
is used, the collector and base are connected to D− and the
emitter to D+.
To reduce the error due to variations in both substrate and
discrete transistors, the following factors should be taken into
consideration:
•
The ideality factor, nf, of the transistor is a measure of the
deviation of the thermal diode from ideal behavior. The
ADT7483A is trimmed for an nf value of 1.008. Use the
following equation to calculate the error introduced at a
temperature,T (°C) when using a transistor whose nf does
not equal 1.008. Consult the processor data sheet for the nf
values.
(
)
ΔT = n f – 1.008 /1.008 × (273.15 Kelvin + T )
To factor this in, write the ΔT value to the offset register. It
is then automatically added to, or subtracted from, the
temperature measurement by the ADT7483A.
•
Some CPU manufacturers specify the high and low current
levels of the substrate transistors. The high current level of
the ADT7483A, IHIGH, is 200 μA, and the low level current,
ILOW, is 12 μA. If the ADT7483A current levels do not match
the current levels specified by the CPU manufacturer, it may
be necessary to remove an offset. Refer to the CPU data
sheet to determine whether this offset needs to be removed
and how to calculate it. This offset is programmed to the
offset register. It is important to note that if more than one
offset must be considered, program the algebraic sum of
these offsets to the offset register.
Transistors such as 2N3904, 2N3906, or equivalents in SOT-23
packages, are suitable devices to use.
THERMAL INERTIA AND SELF-HEATING
Accuracy depends on the temperature of the remote sensing
diode and/or the local temperature sensor being at the same
temperature as that being measured. A number of factors can
affect this. Ideally, the sensor should be in good thermal contact
with the part of the system being measured. If it is not, the
thermal inertia caused by the sensor’s mass causes a lag in the
response of the sensor to a temperature change. In the case of
the remote sensor, this should not be a problem, since it will
either be a substrate transistor in the processor or a small
package device, such as SOT-23, placed in close proximity to it.
The on-chip sensor, however, is often remote from the
processor and only monitors the general ambient temperature
around the package. In practice, the ADT7483A package will be
in electrical, and hence thermal, contact with a PCB and may
also be in a forced airflow. How accurately the temperature of
the board and/or the forced airflow reflects the temperature to
be measured will also affect the accuracy. Self-heating, due to
the power dissipated in the ADT7483A or the remote sensor,
causes the chip temperature of the device or remote sensor to
rise above ambient. However, the current forced through the
remote sensor is so small that self-heating is negligible. In the
case of the ADT7483A, the worst-case condition occurs when
the device is converting at 64 conversions per second while
sinking the maximum current of 1 mA at the ALERT and
THERM output. In this case, the total power dissipation in the
device is about 4.5 mW. The thermal resistance, θJA, of the
QSOP-16 package is about 150°C/W.

ADT7483A
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
•
Place a 0.1 μF bypass capacitor close to the VDD pin. In
extremely noisy environments, place an input filter
capacitor across D+ and D− close to the ADT7483A. This
capacitance can effect the temperature measurement, so
care must be taken to ensure that any capacitance seen at
D+ and D− is a maximum of 1,000 pF. This maximum
value includes the filter capacitance, plus any cable or stray
capacitance between the pins and the sensor diode.
•
If the distance to the remote sensor is more than 8 inches,
the use of twisted pair cable is recommended. A total of
6 feet to 12 feet is needed.
•
For very long distances (up to 100 feet), use shielded
twisted pair, such as Belden No. 8451 microphone cable.
Connect the twisted pair to D+ and D−, and the shield to
GND close to the ADT7483A. Leave the remote end of the
shield unconnected to avoid ground loops.
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments, and the
ADT7483A measures very small voltages from the remote
sensor, so care must be taken to minimize noise induced at the
sensor inputs. Follow these precautions:
•
Place the ADT7483A as close as possible to the remote
sensing diode. Provided that the worst noise sources such
as clock generators, data/address buses, and CRTs are
avoided, this distance can be 4 inches to 8 inches.
Route the D+ and D– tracks close together, in parallel,
with grounded guard tracks on each side. To minimize
inductance and reduce noise pickup, a 5 mil track width
and spacing is recommended. Provide a ground plane
under the tracks, if possible.

Because the measurement technique uses switched current
sources, excessive cable or filter capacitance can affect the

Figure 23 shows a typical application circuit for the ADT7483A,
using discrete sensor transistors. The pull-ups on SCLK,
SDATA, and ALERT are required only if they are not already
provided elsewhere in the system.
Figure 22. Typical Arrangement of Signal Tracks
•
Minimize the number of copper/solder joints that can cause
thermocouple effects. Where copper/solder joints are used,
make sure that they are in both the D+ and D− path and at
the same temperature.
The SCLK and SDATA pins of the ADT7483A can be interfaced
directly to the SMBus of an I/O controller, such as the Intel® 820
chipset.
Thermocouple effects should not be a major problem as
1°C corresponds to approximately 200 mV, and thermocouple voltages are about 3 mV/°C of temperature difference.
Unless there are two thermocouples with a large temperature
differential between them, thermocouple voltages should
be much less than 200 mV.
