The NXP DIMM temperature sensor
SE97B integrates a 2 kbit EEPROM that
can be used for Serial Presence Detect
(SPD). The SE98A, a standalone sensor
without an EEPROM, is for applications
that separate the functions for
temperature sensing and SPD.
Both devices comply with the
standard JEDEC JC42.4 footprint and
specification. Both devices are also
compatible with I2C-bus standard/fast
mode and SMBus, and support SMBus
ALERT and TIMEOUT.
Each device uses an intelligent digital
sensor to monitor its own temperature
and stores the reading in an 11 bit two’s
complement data register. The reading
is compared with three alarm registers,
one each for over-, under-, and
criticaltemperature alarms.
Settings for the alarms are programmable
via a two-wire interface configured as an
I2C-bus in standard, 100 kHz fast, or
400 kHz mode, or as an SMBus. Different
temperature-sensing events are tracked
and stored in the status register and
read via the two-wire interface.
The EVENT output is used as an on/off
output or as an interrupt to signal the
host when the temperature reading
exceeds the threshold of the alarm
register.
The alarm registers have an associated hysteresis
register that can be set to 0, 1, 3, 5, or 6 °C.
Security register lock bits provide additional safety
by preventing register settings from being modified
during normal system operation.
The SPD in the SE97B is organized as a 256 x 8 bit
EEPROM that supports read and write operations
from 3.0 to 3.6 V. The temperature sensor VDD
supply range is 3.0 to 3.6 V for the SE97B and 1.7
to 3.6 V for the SE98A.
The write buffer is 16 bytes and the maximum
write cycle takes only 5 ms. The bottom half of the
256 byte is software write-protected and can be
configured, using the hardware pin, as permanent
or as reversible write-protect. The write buffer
supports up to a million write/erase cycles and
retains data for up to ten years.
SE97B block diagram
The operating temperature range is -40 to 125 °C,
the temperature resolution is 0.125 °C, and the
temperature conversion time is 8 ms.
The new HWSON8 package, SOT1069-2, has
wider K spacing (0.3 mm min vs 0.2 mm JEDEC
min) between the pins and heat pad to reduce the
number of solder shorts during manufacturing.
