19-3004; Rev 0; 12/07 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor The MAX6636 precision multichannel temperature sensor monitors its own temperature and the temperatures of up to six external diode-connected transistors. All temperature channels have programmable alert thresholds. Channels 1, 4, 5, and 6 also have programmable overtemperature thresholds. When the measured temperature of a channel exceeds the respective threshold, a status bit is set in one of the status registers. Two open-drain outputs, OVERT and ALERT, assert corresponding to these bits in the status register. The 2-wire serial interface supports the standard system management bus (SMBus™) protocols: write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte for reading the temperature data and programming the alarm thresholds. The MAX6636 is specified for a -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is available in a 20-pin TSSOP package.

Ground Detailed Description The MAX6636 is a precision multichannel temperature monitor that features one local and six remote temperature-sensing channels with a programmable alert threshold for each temperature channel and a programmable overtemperature threshold for channels 1, 4, 5, and 6 (see Figure 1). Communication with the MAX6636 is achieved through the SMBus serial interface and a dedicated alert pin. The alarm outputs, OVERT and ALERT, assert if the software-programmed temperature thresholds are exceeded. ALERT typically serves as an interrupt, while OVERT can be connected to a fan, system shutdown, or other thermal-management circuitry. ADC Conversion Sequence In the default conversion mode, the MAX6636 starts the conversion sequence by measuring the temperature on channel 1, followed by 2, 3, local channel, 4, 5, and 6. The conversion result for each active channel is stored in the corresponding temperature data register. In some systems, one of the remote thermal diodes may be monitoring a location that experiences temperature changes that occur much more rapidly than in the other channels. If faster temperature changes must be moni6 tored in one of the temperature channels, the MAX6636 allows channel 1 to be monitored at a faster rate than the other channels. In this mode (set by writing a 1 to bit 4 of the configuration 1 register), measurements of channel 1 alternate with measurements of the other channels. The sequence becomes channel 1, channel 2, channel 1, channel 3, channel 1, etc. Note that the time required to measure all seven channels is considerably greater in this mode than in the default mode. Low-Power Standby Mode Enter software standby mode by setting the STOP bit to 1 in the configuration 1 register. Enter hardware standby by pulling STBY low. Software standby mode disables the ADC and reduces the supply current to approximately 30µA. Hardware standby mode halts the ADC clock, but the supply current is approximately 350µA. During either software or hardware standby, data is retained in memory, and the SMBus interface is active and listening for SMBus commands. The timeout is enabled if a start condition is recognized on SMBus. Activity on the SMBus causes the supply current to increase. If a standby command is received while a conversion is in progress, the conversion cycle is interrupt- _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor MAX6636 VCC DXP1 MAX6636 ADC DXN1 DXP2 10/100μA ALARM ALU DXN2 OVERT AVERT DXP3 DXN3 COUNT INPUT BUFFER DXP4 REGISTER BANK COMMAND BYTE COUNTER REMOTE TEMPERATURES DXN4 LOCAL TEMPERATURES REF DXP5 ALERT THRESHOLD OVERT THRESHOLD DXN5 ALERT RESPONSE ADDRESS DXP6 SMBus INTERFACE DXN6 STBY SCL SDA Figure 1. Internal Block Diagram ed, and the temperature registers are not updated. The previous data is not changed and remains available. SMBus Digital Interface From a software perspective, the MAX6636 appears as a series of 8-bit registers that contain temperature measurement 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 same SMBus slave address also provides access to all functions. The MAX6636 employs four standard SMBus protocols: write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte (Figure 2). The shorter receive byte protocol allows quicker transfers, provided that the correct data register was previously selected by a read byte instruction. Use caution with the shorter protocols in multimaster systems, since a second master could overwrite the command byte without informing the first master. Figure 3 is the SMBus write-timing diagram and Figure 4 is the SMBus read-timing diagram. The remote diode 1 measurement channel provides 11 bits of data (1 LSB = 0.125°C). All other temperaturemeasurement channels provide 8 bits of temperature data (1 LSB = 1°C). The 8 most significant bits (MSBs) can be read from the local temperature and remote temperature registers. The remaining 3 bits for remote diode 1 can be read from the extended temperature _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX6636 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor WRITE BYTE FORMAT S ADDRESS WR ACK COMMAND 7 BITS ACK DATA 8 BITS ACK P 8 BITS SLAVE ADDRESS: EQUIVALENT TO CHIP-SELECT LINE OF A 3-WIRE INTERFACE 1 DATA BYTE: DATA GOES INTO THE REGISTER SET BY THE COMMAND BYTE (TO SET THRESHOLDS, CONFIGURATION MASKS, AND SAMPLING RATE) READ BYTE FORMAT S ADDRESS WR ACK 7 BITS COMMAND ACK S SLAVE ADDRESS: EQUIVALENT TO CHIP-SELECT LINE ADDRESS RD COMMAND BYTE: SELECTS WHICH REGISTER YOU ARE REDING FROM DATA /// P 8 BITS SLAVE ADDRESS: REPEATED DUE TO CHANGE IN DATAFLOW DIRECTION DATA BYTE: READS FROM THE REGISTER SET BY THE COMMAND BYTE RECEIVE BYTE FORMAT WR ACK 7 BITS COMMAND ACK P 8 BITS S ADDRESS RD 7 BITS ACK DATA /// P 8 BITS COMMAND BYTE: SENDS COMMAND WITH NO DATA, USUALLY USED FOR ONE-SHOT COMMAND S = START CONDITION.

If extended resolution is desired, the extended resolution register should be read first. This prevents the most significant bits from being overwritten by new conversion results until they have been read. If the most significant bits have not been read within an SMBus timeout period (nominally 37ms), normal updating continues. Table 1 shows the main temperature register (high-byte) data format, and Table 2 shows the extended resolution register (low-byte) data format. 8 Table 2. Extended Resolution Temperature Register (Low-Byte) Data Format Diode Fault Detection If a channel’s input DXP_ and DXN_ are left open, the MAX6636 detects a diode fault. An open diode fault does not cause either ALERT or OVERT to assert. A bit in the status register for the corresponding channel is set to 1 and the temperature data for the channel is stored as all 1s (FFh). It takes approximately 4ms for the MAX6636 to detect a diode fault. Once a diode fault is detected, the MAX6636 goes to the next channel in the conversion sequence. Depending on operating conditions, a shorted diode may or may not cause ALERT or OVERT to assert, so if a channel will not be used, its DXN and DXP inputs should be left unconnected. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor B tLOW C D E F G H tHIGH I J K L MAX6636 A M SMBCLK SMBDATA tSU:STA tHD:STA tSU:STO tSU:DAT A = START CONDITION.

Figure 4. SMBus Read-Timing Diagram Alarm Threshold Registers ALERT Interrupt Mode There are 11 alarm threshold registers that store overtemperature ALERT and OVERT threshold values. Seven of these registers are dedicated to store one local alert temperature threshold limit and six remote alert temperature threshold limits (see the ALERT Interrupt Mode section). The remaining four registers are dedicated to remote channels 1, 4, 5, and 6 to store overtemperature threshold limits (see the OVERT Overtemperature Alarms section). Access to these registers is provided through the SMBus interface. An ALERT interrupt occurs when the internal or external temperature reading exceeds a high-temperature limit (user programmable). The ALERT interrupt output signal can be cleared by reading the status register(s) associated with the fault(s) or by successfully responding to an alert response address transmission by the master. In both cases, the alert is cleared but is reasserted at the end of the next conversion if the fault condition still exists. The interrupt does not halt automatic conversions. The ALERT output is open drain so that multiple devices can share a common interrupt line. All ALERT interrupts can be masked using the configuration 3 register. The POR state of these registers is shown in Table 1. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX6636 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor ALERT Response Address The SMBus alert response interrupt pointer provides quick fault identification for simple slave devices that lack the complex logic needed to be a bus master. Upon receiving an interrupt signal, the host master can broadcast a receive byte transmission to the alert response slave address (see the Slave Address section). Then, 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 acknowledgment 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 output latch. If the condition that caused the alert still exists, the MAX6636 reasserts the ALERT interrupt at the end of the next conversion. OVERT Overtemperature Alarms The MAX6636 has four overtemperature registers that store remote alarm threshold data for the OVERT output. OVERT is asserted when a channel’s measured temperature is greater than the value stored in the corresponding threshold register. OVERT remains asserted until the temperature drops below the programmed threshold minus 4°C hysteresis. An overtemperature output can be used to activate a cooling fan, send a warning, initiate clock throttling, or trigger a system shutdown to prevent component damage. See Table 3 for the POR state of the overtemperature threshold registers. Command Byte Functions The 8-bit command byte register (Table 3) is the master index that points to the various other registers within the MAX6636. This register’s POR state is 0000 0000. Configuration Byte Functions There are three read-write configuration registers (Tables 4, 5, and 6) that can be used to control the MAX6636’s operation. 10 Configuration 1 Register The configuration 1 register (Table 4) has several functions. Bit 7 (MSB) is used to put the MAX6636 either in software standby mode (STOP) or continuous conversion mode. Bit 6 resets all registers to their power-onreset conditions and then clears itself. Bit 5 disables the SMBus timeout. Bit 4 enables more frequent conversions on channel 1, as described in the ADC Conversion Sequence section. Bit 3 enables resistance cancellation on channel 1. See the Series Resistance Cancellation section for more details. The remaining bits of the configuration 1 register are not used. The POR state of this register is 0000 0000 (00h). Configuration 2 Register The configuration 2 register functions are described in Table 5. Bits [6:0] are used to mask the ALERT interrupt output. Bit 6 masks the local alert interrupt and bits 5 through bit 0 mask the remote alert interrupts. The power-up state of this register is 0000 0000 (00h). Configuration 3 Register Table 6 describes the configuration 3 register. Bits 5, 4, 3, and 0 mask the OVERT interrupt output for channels 6, 5, 4, and 1. The remaining bits, 7, 6, 2, and 1, are reserved. The power-up state of this register is 0000 0000 (00h). Status Register Functions Status registers 1, 2, and 3 (Tables 7, 8, and 9) indicate which (if any) temperature thresholds have been exceeded and if there is an open-circuit or short-circuit fault detected with the external sense junctions. Status register 1 indicates if the measured temperature has exceeded the threshold limit set in the ALERT registers for the local or remote-sensing diodes. Status register 2 indicates if the measured temperature has exceeded the threshold limit set in the OVERT registers. Status register 3 indicates if there is a diode fault (open or short) in any of the remote-sensing channels. Bits in the alert status register clear by a successful read, but set again after the next conversion unless the fault is corrected, either by a drop in the measured temperature or an increase in the threshold temperature. The ALERT interrupt output follows the status flag bit.

BIT FUNCTION In both cases, the alert is cleared even if the fault condition exists, but the ALERT output reasserts at the end of the next conversion. The bits indicating the fault for the OVERT interrupt output clear only on reading the status 2 register even if the fault conditions still exist. Reading the status 2 register does not clear the OVERT interrupt output. To eliminate the fault condition, either the measured temperature must drop below the temperature threshold minus the hysteresis value (4°C), or the trip temperature must be set at least 4°C above the current temperature. Applications Information Remote-Diode Selection The MAX6636 directly measures the die temperature of CPUs and other ICs that have on-chip temperaturesensing diodes (see the Typical Application Circuit) or 12 it 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 MAX6636 is optimized for n = 1.015. A thermal diode on the substrate of an IC is normally a pnp with the base and emitter brought out the collector (diode connection) grounded. DXP_ must be connected to the anode (emitter) and DXN_ must be connected to the cathode (base) of this pnp. If a sense transistor with an ideality factor other than 1.015 is used, the output data is different from the data obtained with the optimum ideality factor. Fortunately, the difference is predictable.

The measured temperature TM can be corrected using: ⎛ ⎞ n1 TM = TACTUAL ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ nNOMINAL ⎠ where temperature is measured in Kelvin and nNOMIMAL for the MAX6636 is 1.015. As an example, assume you want to use the MAX6636 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: ⎛n ⎞ ⎛ 1.015 ⎞ TACTUAL = TM × ⎜ NOMINAL ⎟ = TM × ⎜ ⎟ = TM (1.01297) ⎝ 1.002 ⎠ n1 ⎝ ⎠ For a real temperature of +85°C (358.15K), the measured temperature is +80.41°C (353.56K), an error of -4.587°C. Series Resistance Cancellation Some thermal diodes on high-power ICs can have excessive series resistance, which can cause temperature measurement errors with conventional remote temperature sensors. Channel 1 of the MAX6636 has a series resistance cancellation feature (enabled by bit 3 of the configuration 1 register) that eliminates the effect of diode series resistance. Set bit 3 to 1 if the series resistance is large enough to affect the accuracy of channel 1. The series resistance cancellation function increases the conversion time for channel 1 by 125ms. This feature cancels the bulk resistance of the sensor and any other resistance in series (wire, contact resistance, etc.). The cancellation range is from 0 to 100Ω. Discrete Remote Diodes When the remote-sensing diode is a discrete transistor, its collector and base must be connected together. Table 10 lists examples of discrete transistors that are appropriate for use with the MAX6636. 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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX6636 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor Table 7.

This bit is set to logic 1 when the channel 1 remote-diode temperature exceeds the temperature threshold limit in the remote 1 ALERT high-limit register. FUNCTION Unused Diode Channels If one or more of the remote diode channels is not needed, the DXP and DXN inputs for that channel should either be unconnected, or the DXP input should be connected to VCC. The status register indicates a diode "fault" for this channel and the channel is ignored during the temperature-measurement sequence. It is also good practice to mask any unused channels immediately upon power-up by setting the appropriate bits in the Configuration 2 and Configuration 3 registers. This will prevent unused channels from causing ALERT or OVERT to assert. Thermal Mass and Self-Heating When sensing local temperature, the MAX6636 measures the temperature of the printed-circuit board (PCB) to which it is soldered. The leads provide a good thermal path between the PCB traces and the die. As with all IC temperature sensors, thermal conductivity between the die and the ambient air is poor by compar14 ison, making air temperature measurements impractical. Because the thermal mass of the PCB is far greater than that of the MAX6636, the device follows temperature changes on the PCB with little or no perceivable delay. When measuring the 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 tracks the actual temperature within a conversion cycle. When measuring temperature with discrete remote transistors, the best thermal response times are obtained with transistors in small packages (i.e., SOT23 or SC70). 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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor BIT NAME POR STATE 7 (MSB) Reserved 0 — 6 Reserved 0 — 5 Remote 6 OVERT 0 Channel 6 Remote-Diode Overtemperature Status Bit.

Status 2 Register MAX6636 7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor ADC Noise Filtering The integrating ADC has good noise rejection for lowfrequency signals, such as power-supply hum. In environments with significant high-frequency EMI, connect an external 2200pF capacitor between DXP_ and DXN_. Larger capacitor values can be used for added filtering, but do not exceed 3300pF because it can introduce errors due to the rise time of the switched current source. High-frequency noise reduction is needed for high-accuracy remote measurements. Noise can be reduced with careful PCB layout as discussed in the PCB Layout section. Table 10.

Also, do not route the traces across fast digital signals, which can easily introduce +30°C error, even with good filtering. 3) Route the DXP and DXN traces in parallel and in close proximity to each other. Each parallel pair of traces should go to a remote diode. Route these traces away from any higher voltage traces, such as +12VDC. Leakage currents from PCB 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-DXN traces (Figure 5). 4) Route through as few vias and crossunders as possible to minimize copper/solder thermocouple effects. 5) Use wide traces when practical. 5mil to 10mil traces are typical. Be aware of the effect of trace resistance on temperature readings when using long, narrow traces. 6) When the power supply is noisy, add a resistor (up to 47Ω) in series with VCC.

GND 5–10 mils 5–10 mils DXP PCB Layout Follow these guidelines to reduce the measurement error when measuring remote temperature: 1) Place the MAX6636 as close as is practical to the remote 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 PCI buses. 16 MINIMUM 5–10 mils DXN 5–10 mils GND Figure 5. Recommended DXP-DXN PCB Traces.

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 DXN and the shield to GND. Leave the shield unconnected at the remote sensor. 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.
