MAX6642
General Description
The MAX6642 is a precise, two-channel digital temperature sensor. It accurately measures the temperature of
its own die and a remote PN junction, and reports the
temperature data over a 2-wire serial interface. The
remote PN junction is typically a substrate PNP transistor on the die of a CPU, ASIC, GPU, or FPGA. The
remote PN junction can also be a discrete diode-connected small-signal transistor.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard system
management bus (SMBus™), Write Byte, Read Byte,
Send Byte, and Receive Byte commands to read the
temperature data and to program the alarm thresholds.
To enhance system reliability, the MAX6642 includes an
SMBus timeout. The temperature data format is 10 bit
with the least significant bit (LSB) corresponding to
+0.25°C. The ALERT output asserts when the local or
remote overtemperature thresholds are violated. A fault
queue may be used to prevent the ALERT output from
setting until two consecutive faults have been detected.
Measurements can be done autonomously or in a single-shot mode.
Remote accuracy is ±1°C maximum error between
+60°C and +100°C. The MAX6642 operates from -40°C
to +125°C, and measures remote temperatures
between 0°C and +150°C. The MAX6642 is available in
a 6-pin TDFN package.

Detailed Description
The MAX6642 is a temperature sensor for local
and remote temperature-monitoring applications.
Communication with the MAX6642 occurs through the
SMBus-compatible serial interface and dedicated alert
pins. ALERT asserts if the measured local or remote
temperature is greater than the software-programmed
ALERT limit.
The MAX6642 converts temperatures to digital data
either at a programmed rate of eight conversions per
second or in single conversions. Temperature data is
represented by 8 data bits (at addresses 00h and 01h),
with the LSB equal to +1°C and the MSB equal to
+128°C. Two additional bits of remote temperature data
are available in the “extended” register at address 10h
and 11h (Table 2) providing resolution of +0.25°C.
ADC and Multiplexer
The averaging ADC integrates over a 60ms period
(each channel, typ), with excellent noise rejection.
The multiplexer automatically steers bias currents
through the remote and local diodes. The ADC and
associated circuitry measure each diode’s forward voltage and compute the temperature based on this voltage. Both channels are automatically converted once
the conversion process has started, either in free-running or single-shot mode. If one of the two channels is
not used, the device still performs both measurements,
and the user can ignore the results of the unused channel. If the remote-diode channel is unused, connect
DXP to GND rather than leaving DXP open.
The conversion time per channel (remote and internal)
is 125ms. If both channels are being used, then each
channel is converted four times per second. If the
external conversion-only option is selected, then the
remote temperature is measured eight times per second. The results of the previous conversion are always
available, even if the ADC is busy.
Low-Power Standby Mode
Standby mode reduces the supply current to less than
10µA by disabling the ADC and timing circuitry. Enter
standby mode by setting the RUN bit to 1 in the configuration byte register (Table 4). All data is retained in
memory, and the SMBus interface is active and listening for SMBus commands. Standby mode is not a shutdown mode. With activity on the SMBus, the device
draws more supply current (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics). In standby mode, the MAX6642 can
be forced to perform ADC conversions through the
one-shot command, regardless of the RUN bit status.
If a standby command is received while a conversion is
in progress, the conversion cycle is truncated, and the
data from that conversion is not latched into a temperature register. The previous data is not changed and
remains available.
Supply-current drain during the 125ms conversion period is 500µA (typ). In standby mode, supply current
drops to 3µA (typ).
SMBus Digital Interface
From a software perspective, the MAX6642 appears as
a set of byte-wide 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 MAX6642 employs four standard SMBus protocols:
Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte.
(Figures 1, 2, and 3). The shorter Receive Byte protocol
allows quicker transfers, provided that the correct data

register was previously selected by a Write Byte
instruction. Use caution when using the shorter protocols in multimaster systems, as a second master could
overwrite the command byte without informing the first
master.
Read temperature data from the read internal temperature (00h) and read external temperature (01h) regis-
ters. The temperature data format for these registers is
8 bits for each channel, with the LSB representing +1°C
(Table 1).
Read the additional bits from the read extended temperature byte register (10h, 11h), which extends the
data to 10 bits and the resolution to +0.25°C per LSB
(Table 2).

Alarm Threshold Registers
Two registers store ALERT threshold values—one each
for the local and remote channels. If either measured
temperature equals or exceeds the corresponding
ALERT threshold value, the ALERT interrupt asserts
unless the ALERT bit is masked.
The power-on-reset (POR) state of the local ALERT
THIGH register is +70°C (0100 0110). The POR state of
the remote ALERT THIGH register is +120°C (0111 1000).

The ALERT interrupt occurs when the internal or external
temperature reading exceeds a high temperature limit
(user programmed). The ALERT interrupt output signal is
latched and can be cleared only by reading the status
register after the fault condition no longer exists or by
successfully responding to the alert response address. If
the ALERT is cleared by responding to the alert
response address and the temperature fault condition
still exists, ALERT is reasserted after the next temperature-monitoring cycle. To clear ALERT while the tempera-

Diode Fault Detection
A continuity fault detector at DXP detects an open circuit on DXP, or a DXP short to VCC or GND. If an open
or short circuit exists, the external temperature register
is loaded with 1111 1111 and status bit 2 (OPEN) of the
status byte is set to 1. Immediately after POR, the status register indicates that no fault is present. If a fault is
present upon power-up, the fault is not indicated until
the end of the first conversion. Diode faults do not set
the ALERT output.

When a conversion is complete, the main temperature
register and the extended temperature register are

(0001 100). Following such a broadcast, 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
acknowledge 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. If the condition still exists, the
device reasserts the ALERT interrupt at the end of the
next conversion.

Single-Shot
The single-shot command immediately forces a new
conversion cycle to begin. If the single-shot command
is received while the MAX6642 is in standby mode
(RUN bit = 1), a new conversion begins, after which the
device returns to standby mode. If a single-shot conversion is in progress when a single-shot command is
received, the command is ignored. If a single-shot
command is received in autonomous mode (RUN bit =
0), the command is ignored.
Configuration Byte Functions
The configuration byte register (Table 4) is a read-write
register with several functions. Bit 7 is used to mask
(disable) interrupts. Bit 6 puts the MAX6642 into standby mode (STOP) or autonomous (RUN) mode. Bit 5 disables local temperature conversions for faster (8Hz)
remote temperature monitoring. Bit 4 prevents setting
the ALERT output until two consecutive measurements
result in fault conditions.
Status Byte Functions
The status byte register (Table 5) indicates which (if
any) temperature thresholds have been exceeded. This
byte also indicates whether the ADC is converting and
whether there is an open-circuit fault detected on the
external sense junction. After POR, the normal state of
all flag bits is zero, assuming no alarm conditions are
present. The status byte is cleared by any successful
read of the status byte after the overtemperature fault
condition no longer exists.
Slave Addresses
The MAX6642 has eight fixed addresses available.
These are shown in Table 6.
The MAX6642 also responds to the SMBus alert
response slave address (see the Alert Response
Address section).

POR and UVLO
To prevent ambiguous 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 2.1 (typ). When
power is first applied and VCC rises above 2.1 (typ),
the logic blocks begin operating, although reads and
writes at VCC levels below 3V are not recommended. A
second VCC comparator, the ADC undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) comparator prevents the ADC from converting
until there is sufficient headroom (VCC = +2.7V typ).
Power-Up Defaults
Power-up defaults include:
• ALERT output is cleared.
• ADC begins autoconverting at a 4Hz rate.
• Command byte is set to 00h to facilitate quick
local Receive Byte queries.
• Local (internal) THIGH limit set to +70°C.
• Remote (external) THIGH limit set to +120°C.
Applications Information
Remote-Diode Selection
The MAX6642 can directly measure the die temperature
of CPUs and other ICs that have on-board temperaturesensing diodes (see the Typical Operating Circuit) or
they can measure the temperature of a discrete diodeconnected 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 MAX6642 is optimized for n
= 1.008, which is the typical value for the Intel Pentium
III. A thermal diode on the substrate of an IC is normally
a PNP with its collector grounded. DXP should be connected to the anode (emitter) and the cathode should
be connected at GND of the MAX6642.
If a sense transistor with an ideality factor other than
1.008 is used, the output data is 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:

where temperature is measured in Kelvin and
nNOMIMAL for the MAX6642 is 1.008.
As an example, assume you want to use the MAX6642
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:

TACTUAL = TM  NOMINAL  = TM 

For a real temperature of +85°C (358.15K), the measured temperature is +82.91°C (356.02K), an error of
-2.13°C.
Effect of Series Resistance
Series resistance in a sense diode contributes additional errors. For nominal diode currents of 10µA and
100µA, the change in the measured voltage due to
series resistance is:
∆VM = RS (100µA - 10µA) = 90µA ✕ RS
Since +1°C corresponds to 198.6µV, series resistance
contributes a temperature offset of:
µV
Ω = 0.453 °C
µV
Ω
198.6

Assume that the diode being measured has a series
resistance of 3Ω. The series resistance contributes an
offset of:
3Ω × 0.453
°C
= +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.
In this example, the effect of the series resistance and
the ideality factor partially cancel each other.

Note: Discrete transistors must be diode connected (base shorted to collector).
Discrete Remote Diodes
When the remote-sensing diode is a discrete transistor,
its collector and base should be connected together.
Table 7 lists examples of discrete transistors that are
appropriate for use with the MAX6642.
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.
ADC Noise Filtering
The integrating ADC used has good noise rejection for
low-frequency signals such as 60Hz/120Hz power-supply hum. In noisy environments, high-frequency noise
reduction is needed for high-accuracy remote measurements. The noise can be reduced with careful PC
board layout and proper external noise filtering.
High-frequency EMI is best filtered at DXP with an
external 2200pF capacitor. Larger capacitor values can
be used for added filtering, but do not exceed 3300pF
because excessive capacitance can introduce errors

9) Copper cannot be used as an EMI shield; only ferrous materials such as steel work well. Placing a
copper ground plane between the DXP-DXN traces
and traces carrying high-frequency noise signals
does not help reduce EMI.
PC Board Layout
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 GND and
the shield to GND. Leave the shield unconnected at the
remote diode.
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.
Follow these guidelines to reduce the measurement
error of the temperature sensors:
1) Connect the thermal-sense diode to the MAX6642
using two traces—one between DXP and the
anode, the other between the MAX6642’s GND and
the cathode. Do not connect the cathode to GND at
the sense diode.
2) Place the MAX6642 as close as is practical to the
remote thermal 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 ISA/PCI buses.
3) Do not route the thermal diode lines next to the
deflection coils of a CRT. Also, do not route the
traces across fast digital signals, which can easily
introduce a 30°C error, even with good filtering.
4) Route the thermal diode traces in parallel and in
close proximity to each other, away from any higher
voltage traces, such as +12VDC. 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 trace (Figure 4).
5) Route through as few vias and crossunders as possible to minimize copper/solder thermocouple
effects.
6) When introducing a thermocouple, make sure that
both the thermal diode paths have matching thermocouples. A copper-solder thermocouple exhibits
3µV/°C, and it takes about 200µV of voltage error at
DXP to cause a +1°C measurement error. Adding a
few thermocouples causes a negligible error.
7) Use wide traces. Narrow traces are more inductive
and tend to pick up radiated noise. The 10-mil
widths and spacing recommended in Figure 4 are
not absolutely necessary, as they offer only a minor
improvement in leakage and noise over narrow
traces. Use wider traces when practical.
8) Add a 47Ω resistor in series with VCC for best noise
filtering (see the Typical Operating Circuit).
Twisted-Pair and Shielded Cables
Thermal Mass and Self-Heating
When sensing local temperature, this device is intended to measure the temperature of the PC board to
which it is soldered. The leads provide a good thermal
path between the PC board traces and the die. 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 MAX6642, the
device follows temperature changes on the PC board
with little or no perceivable delay.
When measuring 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

due to the rise time of the switched current source.
Nearly all noise sources tested cause the temperature
conversion results to be higher than the actual temperature, typically by +1°C to +10°C, depending on the
frequency and amplitude (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics).
MAX6642
±1°C, SMBus-Compatible Remote/Local
Temperature Sensor with Overtemperature Alarm
tracks the actual temperature within a conversion cycle.
When measuring temperature with discrete remote sensors, smaller packages, such as SOT23s, yield the best
thermal response times. 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 the local diode, the
worst-case error occurs when autoconverting at the
fastest rate and simultaneously sinking maximum current at the ALERT output. For example, with V CC =
+5.0V, at an 8Hz conversion rate and with ALERT sinking 1mA, the typical power dissipation is:
Even under nearly worst-case conditions, it is difficult to
introduce a significant self-heating error.
