Under and over temperature limits can be programmed into the devices over the serial bus, and an ALERT output signals when the on-chip or remote temperature is out of range. This output can be used as an interrupt, or as an SMBus alert. The ADM1020 is a two-channel digital thermometer and under/over temperature alarm, intended for use in personal computers and other systems requiring thermal monitoring and management. The device can measure the temperature of a microprocessor using a diode-connected NPN or PNP transistor, which may be provided on-chip in the case of the Pentium® II or similar processors, or can be a low-cost discrete device such as the 2N3904. A novel measurement technique cancels out the absolute value of the transistor’s base emitter voltage, so that no calibration is required. The second measurement channel measures the output of an on-chip temperature sensor, to monitor the temperature of the device and its environment.

Response to Thermal Shock Figure 8. Operating Supply Current vs. Conversion Rate FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Control and configuration functions consist of: The ADM1020 contains a two-channel A-to-D converter with special input-signal conditioning to enable operation with remote and on-chip diode temperature sensors. When the ADM1020 is operating normally, the A-to-D converter operates in a free-running mode. The analog input multiplexer alternately selects either the on-chip temperature sensor to measure its local temperature, or the remote temperature sensor. These signals are digitized by the ADC and the results stored in the local and remote temperature value registers as 8-bit, twos complement words. – switching the device between normal operation and standby mode. – masking or enabling the ALERT output. – selecting the conversion rate. MEASUREMENT METHOD A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit the negative temperature coefficient of a diode, or the base-emitter voltage of a transistor, operated at constant current. Unfortunately, this technique requires calibration to null out the effect of the absolute value of VBE , which varies from device to device. The measurement results are compared with local and remote, high and low temperature limits, stored in four on-chip registers. Out of limit comparisons generate flags that are stored in the Status Register, and one or more out-of-limit results will cause the ALERT output to pull low. The technique used in the ADM1020 is to measure the change in VBE when the device is operated at two different currents. This is given by: The limit registers can be programmed, and the device controlled and configured, via the serial System Management Bus (SMBus). The contents of any register can also be read back via the SMBus. REV. 0 T=2 ∆VBE = KT/q × ln (N) where: K is Boltzmann’s constant. q is charge on the electron (1.6 × 10–19 Coulombs). T is absolute temperature in Kelvins. N is ratio of the two currents. –5– ADM1020 VDD I N3I IBIAS LOWPASS FILTER fC = 65kHz D+ VOUT+ TO ADC C1* REMOTE SENSING TRANSISTOR D– VOUT– BIAS DIODE *CAPACITOR C1 IS OPTIONAL.

Input Signal Conditioning Figure 11 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, provided for temperature monitoring on some microprocessors, but it could equally well be a discrete transistor. If a discrete transistor is used, the collector will not be 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. If the sensor is operating in a noisy environment, C1 may optionally be added as a noise filter. Its value is typically 2200 pF but should be no more than 3000 pF. See the section on Layout Considerations for more information on C1. Table I. Temperature Data Format To measure ∆VBE, the sensor is switched between operating currents of I and N × I. The resulting waveform is passed through a 65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise, hence to a chopper-stabilized amplifier that performs the functions of amplification and rectification of the waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to ∆VBE. This voltage is measured by the ADC to give a temperature output in 8-bit twos complement format. To further reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles.

A description of these registers follows, and further details are given in Tables II to IV. It should be noted that the ADM1020’s registers are dual port, and have different addresses for read and write operations. Attempting to write to a read address, or to read from a write address, will produce an invalid result. Register addresses above 0F are reserved for future use or used for factory test purposes and should not be written to. Signal conditioning and measurement of the internal temperature sensor is performed in a similar manner. TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT One LSB of the ADC corresponds to 1°C, so the ADC can theoretically measure from –128°C to +127°C, although the practical lowest value is limited to –65°C due to device maximum ratings. The temperature data format is shown in Table I. 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. Address Pointer Register The Address Pointer Register itself does not have, or require, an address, as it is the register to which the first data byte of every write operation is automatically written. This data byte is an address pointer that sets up one of the other registers for the second byte of the write operation, or for a subsequent read operation. –6– REV. 0 ADM1020 The ALERT interrupt latch is not reset by reading the Status Register, but will be reset when the ALERT output has been serviced by the master reading the device address, provided the error condition has gone away and the Status Register flag bits have been reset. The power-on default value of the Address Pointer Register is 00h, so if a read operation is performed immediately after poweron, without first writing to the address pointer, the value of the local temperature will be returned, since its register address is 00h. Value Registers Table II. Status Register Bit Assignments The ADM1020 has two registers to store the results of local and remote temperature measurements. These registers are written to by the ADC and can only be read over the SMBus. Status Register Bit 7 of the Status Register indicates that the ADC is busy converting when it is high. Bits 5 to 3 are flags that indicate the results of the limit comparisons. If the local and/or remote temperature measurement is above the corresponding high temperature limit or below the corresponding low temperature limit, then one or more of these flags will be set. Bit 2 is a flag that is set if the remote temperature sensor is open-circuit. These five flags are NOR’d together, so that if any of them are high, the ALERT interrupt latch will be set and the ALERT output will go low. Reading the Status Register will clear the five flag bits, provided the error conditions that caused the flags to be set have gone away. While a limit comparator is tripped due to a value register containing an out-of-limit measurement, or the sensor is open-circuit, the corresponding flag bit cannot be reset. A flag bit can only be reset if the corresponding value register contains an in-limit measurement, or the sensor is good.

Configuration Register Two bits of the Configuration Register are used. If Bit 6 is 0, which is the power-on default, the device is in operating mode with the ADC converting. If Bit 6 is set to 1, the device is in standby mode and the ADC does not convert. Standby mode can also be selected by taking the STBY pin low. Bit 7 of the configuration register is used to mask the ALERT output. If Bit 7 is 0, which is the power-on default, the ALERT output is enabled. If Bit 7 is set to 1, the ALERT output is disabled.

Device Addresses Conversion Rate Register The lowest three bits of this register are used to program the conversion rate by dividing the ADC clock by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128, to give conversion times from 125 ms (code 07h) to 16 seconds (code 00h). This register can be written to and read back over the SMBus. The higher five bits of this register are unused and must be set to zero. Use of slower conversion times greatly reduces the device power consumption, as shown in Table V.

The serial bus protocol operates as follows: 1. 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 will follow. 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 a R/W bit, which determines the direction of the data transfer, i.e., whether data will be written to or read from the slave device. Table V. Conversion Rate Register Codes Data Device Address Average Supply Current A Typ at VCC = 3.3 V 42 42 42 48 60 82 118 170 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 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 will write to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the master will read from the slave device. 2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences 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, as 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. Limit Registers The ADM1020 has four Limit Registers to store local and remote, high and low temperature limits. These registers can be written to and read back, over the SMBus. 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 alarm condition. One-Shot Register The One-Shot Register is used to initiate a single conversion and comparison cycle when the ADM1020 is in standby mode, after which the device returns to standby. This is not a data register as such and it is the write operation that causes the oneshot conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and is not stored. 3. 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 10th 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 9th clock pulse. This is known as no acknowledge. The master will then take the data line low during the low period before the 10th clock pulse, then high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a STOP condition. 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. SERIAL BUS INTERFACE Control of the ADM1020 is carried out via the serial bus. The ADM1020 is connected to this bus as a slave device, under the control of a master device, e.g., the PIIX4 ADDRESS PIN 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 ADM1020 has an address select pin, ADD to allow selection of the device address, so that more than one ADM1020 can be used on the –8– REV. 0 ADM1020 In the case of the ADM1020, write operations contain either one or two bytes, while read operations contain one byte, and perform the following functions: register read address is sent, as data is not to be written to the register. This is shown in Figure 12b. 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. This is shown in Figure 12c. To write data to one of the device data registers or read data from it, the Address Pointer Register must be set so that the correct data register is addressed, then data can be written into that register or read from it. 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, then the write operation contains a second data byte that is written to the register selected by the address pointer register. 2. 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, so Figure 12b can be omitted. NOTES 1. Although it is possible to read a data byte from a data register without first writing to the Address Pointer Register, 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. This is illustrated in Figure 12a. 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. 2. Don't forget that the ADM1020 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 is not 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: 1. If the ADM1020's Address Pointer Register value 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 ADM1020 as before, but only the data byte containing the 1 9 9 1 SCLK A5 A6 SDATA A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 START BY MASTER D6 D7 R/W ACK.

BY ADM1020 ADM1020 ALERT OUTPUT SENSOR FAULT DETECTION The ALERT output goes low whenever an out-of limit measurement is detected, or if the remote temperature sensor is opencircuit. It is an open-drain and requires a 10 kΩ pull-up to VDD. Several ALERT outputs can be wire-ANDED together, so that the common line will go low if one or more of the ALERT outputs goes low. The ADM1020 has a fault detector at the D+ input that detects if the external sensor diode is open-circuit. This is a simple voltage comparator that trips if the voltage at D+ exceeds VCC – 1 V (typical). The output of this comparator is checked when a conversion is initiated, and sets Bit 2 of the Status Register if a fault is detected. The ALERT output can be used as an interrupt signal to a processor, or it may be used as an SMBALERT. Slave devices on the SMBus can not normally signal to the master that they want to talk, but the SMBALERT function allows them to do so. If the remote sensor voltage falls below the normal measuring range, for example due to the diode being short-circuited, the ADC will output –128 (1000 0000). Since the normal operating temperature range of the device only extends down to –55°C, this output code should never be seen in normal operation, so it can be interpreted as a fault condition. Since it will be outside the power-on default low temperature limit (–55°C) and any low limit that would normally be programmed, a short-circuit sensor will cause an SMBus alert. One or more ALERT outputs are 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 illustrated in Figure 13. In this respect the ADM1020 differs from and improves upon, competitive devices that output zero if the external sensor goes short-circuit. These devices can misinterpret a genuine 0°C measurement as a fault condition. MASTER RECEIVES SMBALERT START ALERT RESPONSE ADDRESS RD ACK MASTER SENDS ARA AND READ COMMAND DEVICE ADDRESS NO ACK STOP If the external diode channel is not being used and it is shorted out, the resulting ALERT may be cleared by writing 80h (–128°C) to the low limit register. DEVICE SENDS ITS ADDRESS Figure 13 Use of SMBALERT 1. SMBALERT pulled low. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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. FACTORS AFFECTING ACCURACY Remote Sensing Diode 3. The device whose ALERT output is low responds to the Alert Response Address and the master reads its device address. 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 ADM1020 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 ARA again, and so on until all devices whose ALERT outputs were low have responded. LOW POWER STANDBY MODES The ADM1020 can be put into a low power standby mode by setting Bit 6 of the Configuration Register. With Bit 6 low the ADM1020 operates normally. When Bit 6 is high, the ADC is inhibited, 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 10 µA if there is no SMBus activity, or 100 µA if there are clock and data signals on the bus. The ADM1020 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 PNP or NPN, connected as a diode (base shorted to collector). If an NPN transistor is used then the collector and base are connected to D+ and the emitter to D–. If a PNP transistor is used then the collector and base are connected to D– and the emitter to D+. The user has no choice in the case of substrate transistors but if a discrete transistor is used the best accuracy will be obtained by choosing devices according to the following criteria: 1. Base-emitter voltage greater than 0.25 V at 6 µA, at the highest operating temperature. 2. Base-emitter voltage less than 0.95 V at 100 µA, at the lowest operating temperature. 3. Base resistance less than 100 Ω. 4. Small variation in hFE (say 50 to 150) which indicates tight control of VBE characteristics. Transistors such as 2N3904, 2N3906 or equivalents in SOT-23 package are suitable devices to use. When Bit 6 is set , a one-shot conversion of both channels can be initiated by writing XXh to the One-Shot Register (address 0Fh). –10– REV. 0 ADM1020 5. Place a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to the VDD pin and 2200 pF input filter capacitors across D+, D– close to the ADM1020. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments, and the ADM1020 is measuring very small voltages from the remote sensor, so care must be taken to minimize noise induced at the sensor inputs. The following precautions should be taken: 1. Place the ADM1020 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 to 8 inches. 2. Route the D+ and D– tracks close together, in parallel, with grounded guard tracks on each side. Provide a ground plane under the tracks if possible. 7. For really long distances (up to 100 feet) use shielded twisted pair such as Belden #8451 microphone cable. Connect the twisted pair to D+ and D– and the shield to GND close to the ADM1020. Leave the remote end of the shield unconnected to avoid ground loops. Because the measurement technique uses switched current sources, excessive cable and/or filter capacitance can affect the measurement. When using long cables, the filter capacitor may be reduced or removed. 3. Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and reduce noise pickup. 10 mil track minimum width and spacing is recommended. GND 6. If the distance to the remote sensor is more than 8 inches, the use of twisted pair cable is recommended. This will work up to about 6 to 12 feet. Cable resistance can also introduce errors. 1 Ω series resistance introduces about 0.5°C error. 10mil 10mil D+ APPLICATION CIRCUITS 10mil Figure 15 shows a typical application circuit for the ADM1020, using a discrete sensor transistor connected via a shielded, twisted pair cable.
