MAXIM MAX31725

MAX31725
±0.5°C Local Temperature Sensor
General Description
The MAX31725 temperature sensor accurately measures
temperature and provides an overtemperature alarm/
interrupt/shutdown output. The device converts the
temperature measurements to digital form using a
high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). Accuracy is Q0.5NC from -40NC to +105NC.
Communication is through an I2C-compatible 2-wire
serial interface.
The I2C serial interface accepts standard write byte, read
byte, send byte, and receive byte commands to read
the temperature data and configure the behavior of the
open-drain overtemperature shutdown output.
The MAX31725 features three address select lines with a
total of 32 available addresses. The 2.5V to 3.7V supply
voltage range, low 600FA supply current, and a lockupprotected I2C-compatible interface make the sensor
ideal for a wide range of applications, including PCs,
electronic test equipment, and office electronics.
The MAX31725 is available in an 8-pin TDFN package
and operates over the -55NC to +150NC temperature
range.

MAX31725
±0.5°C Local Temperature Sensor
Detailed Description
The MAX31725 temperature sensor measures temperature
and converts the data into digital form. An I2C-compatible
two-wire serial interface allows access to conversion
results. The device accepts standard I2C commands
to read the data, set the overtemperature alarm (OS)
trip thresholds, and configure other characteristics.
While reading the temperature register, any changes in
temperature are ignored until the read is completed. The
temperature register is updated for the new temperature
measurement upon completion of the read operation.
OS Output, TOS and THYST Limits
In comparator mode, the OS output behaves like a
thermostat (Figure 2). The output asserts when the
temperature rises above the limit set in the TOS register.
The output deasserts when the temperature falls below
the limit set in the THYST register. In comparator mode,
the OS output can be used to turn on a cooling fan,
initiate an emergency shutdown signal, or reduce system
clock speed.
In interrupt mode, exceeding TOS also asserts OS. OS
remains asserted until a read operation is performed
on any of the registers. Once OS has asserted due to

crossing above TOS and is then reset, it is asserted again
only when the temperature drops below THYST. The
output then remains asserted until it is reset by a read.
It is then asserted again if the temperature rises above
TOS, and so on. Putting the MAX31725 into shutdown
mode also resets OS.
I2C-Compatible Bus Interface
A standard I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface reads
temperature data from the temperature registers and
reads and writes control bits and alarm threshold data to
and from the alarm and configuration registers.
The MAX31725 responds to its own I2C slave address,
which is selected using the A0, A1, and A2 pins. A0 and
A1 can be connected to the supply voltage, ground,
SDA, or SCL. A2 can be connected to supply voltage or
ground to provide up to 32 unique addresses.
Table 1 shows how the A0, A1, and A2 connections
determine the slave address.

be written for each I2C transaction. All registers are read
and write, except for the read-only temperature register.
Internal Registers
The device contains four registers, each of which consists
of 2 bytes. The configuration register contains only 1
byte of actual data and, when read as a 2-byte register,
repeats the same data for the second byte. During a
2-byte write to the configuration register the second
byte written takes precedence. The device’s pointer
register selects between the four data registers shown
in Table 2. During reads and writes the pointer register
auto increments after every 2 data bytes, but does not
wrap from address 03h-00h. The pointer register must
Write to the configuration register by writing the slave
address byte, the pointer register byte to value 01h, and
a data byte. The TOS and THYST registers require the
slave address byte, pointer register byte, and 2 data
bytes. If only 1 data byte is written, it is saved in bits
D[15:8] of the respective register. If more than 2 data
bytes are written, the pointer register auto increments
and if pointing to a valid address, additional data writes
to the next address. See Figure 3.

MAX31725
±0.5°C Local Temperature Sensor
by bit 5 of the configuration register, the measured
temperature is the value in the temperature register plus
64NC, as shown in Table 4.
Configuration Register
The configuration register contains 8 bits of data and
initiates single conversions (ONE-SHOT), enables bus
timeout, controls shutdown, sets the fault queue, sets the
data format, selects OS polarity, and determines whether
the OS output functions in comparator or interrupt mode.
See Table 5.
Shutdown
Set bit D0 to 1 to place the device in shutdown mode
and reduce supply current to 3.5FA or less. If bit D0 is
set to 1 when a temperature conversion is taking place,
the device completes the conversion and then shuts
down. In interrupt mode, entering shutdown resets the
OS output. While in shutdown, the I2C interface remains
active and all registers remain accessible to the master.
Setting D0 to 0 takes the device out of shutdown and
starts a new conversion. The results of this conversion
are available to read after the max conversion time.
COMPARATOR/INTERRUPT Mode
Set bit D1, the COMPARATOR/INTERRUPT bit to 0 to
operate OS in comparator mode. In comparator mode,
OS is asserted when the temperature rises above the
TOS value. OS is deasserted when the temperature drops
below the THYST value. See Figure 2.
Set bit D1 to 1 to operate OS in interrupt mode. In
interrupt mode, exceeding TOS also asserts OS. OS
remains asserted until a read operation is performed
on any of the registers. Once OS has asserted due to
crossing above TOS and is then reset, it is asserted again
only when the temperature drops below THYST. The
output then remains asserted until it is reset by a read.
It is then asserted again if the temperature rises above
TOS, and so on. Putting the MAX31725 into shutdown
mode also resets OS. Note that if the mode is changed
while OS is active, an OS reset may be required before it
begins to behave normally.
OS Polarity
Set bit D2, the OS POLARITY bit, to 0 to force the OS
output polarity to active low. Set bit D2 to 1 to set the OS
output polarity to active high. OS is an open-drain output

under all conditions and requires a pullup resistor to
output a high voltage. See Figure 2.
Fault Queue
Bits D4 and D3, the fault queue bits, determine the
number of faults necessary to trigger an OS condition.
See Table 6. The number of faults set in the queue must
occur consecutively to trip the OS output. The fault queue
prevents OS false tripping in noisy environments.
Data Format
Bit D5 selects the temperature data format for the
temperature, TOS, and THYST registers. When D5 is 0
(normal format), the data format is two’s complement with
a range of -128NC to +127.99609375NC.
Set D5 to 1 for extended temperature format. In extended
format, the measured temperature equals the two’s
complement value plus 64NC, thereby extending the upper
temperature data range to 191.99609375NC and allowing
temperatures as high as 150NC to be measured. See
Table 4. Once set, the data format does not update until
the completion of the following temperature conversion.
After setting D5 to 1, new extended temperature data
is guaranteed ready after a time equal to twice the max
conversion time.
TIMEOUT Enable
Set D6 to 1 to disable bus timeout.
Set D6 to 0 to reset the I2C-compatible interface when
SDA is low for more than 50ms (nominal).
One-Shot
The ONE-SHOT function helps to reduce average supply
current when continuous conversions are not necessary.
Setting D7 to 1 while the device is in shutdown mode
immediately begins a new temperature conversion. After
the conversion has completed, the device returns to
shutdown mode. D7 returns to 0 when the conversion
completes. Writing 1 to D7 has no effect when the device
is not in shutdown.

• Timeout enabled
Applications Information
The MAX31725 measures the temperature of its own die.
The thermal path between the die and the outside world
determines the accuracy of temperature measurements.
External temperature is conducted to the die primarily through the leads and the exposed pad. Because of
this, the device most easily measures the PCB temperature. For ambient temperature measurements, mount the
device on a PCB (or a section of the PCB) that is at ambient temperature. Temperature errors due to self-heating of
the device die are minimal due to the low supply current.
Digital Noise Issues
The device features an integrated lowpass filter on the
SCL and SDA digital lines to mitigate the effects of bus
noise. Although this filtering makes communication robust
in noisy environments, good layout practices are always
recommended. Minimize noise coupling by keeping
digital traces away from switching power supplies.
Ensure that digital lines containing high-speed data cross
at right angles to the SDA and SCL lines. Excessive noise
coupling into the SDA and SCL lines on the device—
specifically noise with amplitude greater than 400mVP-P
(typical hysteresis), overshoot greater than 300mV above
+VDD, and undershoot more than 300mV below GND—
can prevent successful serial communication. Serial bus
not-acknowledge is the most common symptom, causing
unnecessary traffic on the bus. Care must be taken to
ensure proper termination within a system with long PCB
traces or multiple slaves on the bus. Resistance can be
added in series with the SDA and SCL lines to further
help filter noise and ringing. If it proves to be necessary,
a 5kI resistor should be placed in series with the SCL
line, placed as close as possible to the SCL pin. This 5kI
resistor, with the 5pF to 10pF stray capacitance of the
device provide a 6MHz to 12MHz lowpass filter, which is
sufficient filtering in most cases.
