Pin configuration PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS • Desktop computers • Notebook computers • Smart battery packs • Industrial controllers • Telecom equipment DESCRIPTION The NE1617 is an accurate two-channel temperature monitor. It measures the temperature of itself and the temperature of a remote sensor. The remote sensor is a diode connected transistor. This can be in the form of either a discrete NPN/PNP, such as the 2N3904/2N3906, or a diode connected PNP built into another die, such as is done on some INTEL microprocessors. The temperature of both the remote and local sensors is stored in a register that can be read via a 2-wire SMBus. The temperatures are updated at a rate that is programmable via the SMBus (the average supply current is dependent upon the update rate—the faster the rate, the higher the current). In addition to the normal operation, which is to update the temperature at the programmed rate, there is a one shot mode that will force a temperature update.

These pins should either float or be tied to ground. 2. VDD pin should be decoupled by a 0.1µF capacitor. There is also an alarm that senses either an over or under temperature condition. The trip points for this alarm are also programmable. The device can have 1 of 9 addresses (determined by 2 address pins), so there can be up to 9 of the NE1617 on the SMBus. It can also be put in a standby mode (in order to save power). This can be done either with software (over the SMBus) or with hardware (using the STANDBY pin).

The external diode must be selected to meet this voltage range at these two current levels. The diode-connected PNP transistor provided on the microprocessor is typically used, or the discrete diode-connected transistor 2N3904 is recommended as an alternative. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The NE1617 contains an integrating A-to-D converter, an analog multiplexer, a status register, digital data registers, SMBUS interface, associated control logic and a local temperature sensor or channel. The remote diode-type sensor or channel should be connected to the D+ and D– pins properly. Temperature measurements or conversions are either automatically and periodically activated when the device is in free-running mode (both STBY pin = high, and the configuration register BIT6 = low) or generated by one-shot command. The free-running period is selected by changing the programmable data of the conversion rate register as described later. For each conversion, the multiplexer switches current sources through the remote and local temperature sensors over a period of time, about 60ms, and the voltages across the diode-type sensors are sensed and converted into the temperature data by the A-to-D converter. The resulting temperature data is then stored in the temperature registers, in 8-bit, two’s complement word format and automatically compared with the limits which have been programmed in the temperature limit registers. Results of the comparison are reflected accordingly by the flags stored in the status register, an out-of-limit condition will set the ALERT output pin to its low state. Because both channels are automatically measured for each conversion, the results are updated for both channels at the end of every successful conversion. Even though the NE1617 integrating A-to-D converter has a good noise performance, using the average of 10 measurement cycles, high frequency noise filtering between D+ and D– should be considered. An external capacitor of 2200pF typical (but not higher than 3300pF) connected between D+ and D– is recommended. Capacitance higher than 3300pF will introduce measurement error due to the rise time of the switched current source. Address logic The address pins of the NE1617 can be forced into one of three levels: Low (GND), High (VDD), or not connected (NC). Because the NE1617 samples and latches the address pins at the starting of every conversion, it is suggested that those address pins should be hardwired to the logic applied, so that the logic is consistently existed at the address pins. During the address sensing period, the device forces a current at each address pin and compares the voltage developed across the external connection with the predefined threshold voltage in order to define the logic level. If an external resistor is used for the connection of the address, then its value should be less than 2kΩ to prevent the error in logic detection from happening. Resistors of 1kΩ is recommended. Remote diode selection The method of the temperature measurement is based on the change of the diode VBE at two different operating current levels given by: DVBE + KT q < LN(N) where: K: Boltzman’s constant T: absolute temperature in ° Kelvin q: charge on the electron N: ratio of the two currents LN: natural logarithm 1999 Mar 19 NE1617 9 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Temperature monitor for microprocessor systems TEMPERATURE MONITOR WITH SMB SERIAL INTERFACE Registers The device contains more than 9 registers. They are used to store the data of device setup and operation results. Depending on the bus communication (either read or write operations), each register may be called by different names because each register may have different sub-addresses or commands for read and write operations. For example, the configuration register is called as WC for write mode and as RC for read mode. Table 2 (Register Assignments) shows the names, commands and functions of all registers as well the register POR states. Serial bus interface The device can be connected to a standard 2-wire serial interface System Management Bus (SMBus) as a slave device under the control of a master device, using two device terminals SCLK and SDATA. The operation of the device to the bus is described with details in the following sections. Slave address The device address is defined by the logical connections applied to the device pins ADD0 and ADD1. A list of selectable addresses are shown in Table 1. The device address can be set to any one of those nine combinations and more than one device can reside on the same bus without address confliction. Note that the state of the device address pins is sampled and latched not only at power-up step but also at starting point of every conversion. Note that attempting to write to a read-command or read from a write-command will produce an invalid result. The reserved registers are used for factory test purposes and should not be written to. Low power standby modes Upon POR, the device is reset to its normal free-running auto-conversion operation mode. The device can be put into standby mode by either using hardware control (connect the STBY pin to LOW for hardware standby mode) or using software control (set bit 6 of the configuration register to HIGH for software standby mode). When the device is put in either one of the standby modes, the supply current is reduced to less than 10µA if there is no SMBus activity, all data in the device registers are retained and the SMBus interface is still alive to bus communication. However, there is a difference in the device ADC conversion operation between hardware standby and software standby modes. In hardware standby mode, the device conversion is inhibited and the one-shot command does not initiate a conversion. In software standby mode, the one-shot command will initiate a conversion for both internal and external channels. Table 1.

Only two bits 6 and 7 of this register are used as listed in Table 3. Bit 7 is used to mask the device ALERT output from Alert interruption when this bit is set to 1 and bit 6 is used to activate the standby software mode when this bit is set to to 1. The conversion rate register is used to store programmable conversion data, which defines the time interval between conversions in standard free-running auto-convert mode. The Table 5 shows all applicable data and rates for the device. Only three LSB bits of the register are used and other bits are reserved for future use. This register can be written to and read back over the SMBus using commands of the registers named WCR and RCR respectively. The POR default conversion data is 02h (0.25Hz). This register can be written or read using the commands of registers named WC and RC accordingly. Upon power-on reset (POR), both bits are reset to zero. Notice that the average supply current, as well as the device power consumption, is increased with the conversion rate. Table 3.

Conversion rate control byte FUNCTION Mask ALERT interrupt: Interrupt is enabled when this bit is LOW, and disabled when this bit is HIGH. Standby or run mode control: When LOW, running mode is enabled. When HIGH, standby mode is initiated. n/a External and internal temperature registers Results of temperature measurements after every ADC conversion are stored in two registers: Internal Temp register (RIT) for internal or local diode temperature, and External Temp register (RET) for external or remote diode temperature. These registers can be only read over the SMBus. The reading temperature data is in 2’s complement binary form consisting of 7-bit data and 1-bit sign (MSB), with each data count represents 1°C, and the MSB bit is transmitted first over the serial bus. The contents of those two registers are updated upon completion of each ADC conversion. Table 4 shows some values of the temperature and data.

Data of the temperature register (RIT & RET) for each channel are compared with the contents of the temperature limit registers of the same channel, resulting in alarm conditions. If measured temperature either equals or exceeds the corresponding temperature limits, an Alert interrupt is asserted and the corresponding flag bit in the status register is set. The temperature limit registers can be written to and read back using commands of registers named WIHL, WILL, WEHL, WELL, RIHL, RILL, REHL, RELL accordingly. The POR default values are +127°C (0111 1111) for the HIGH limit and –55°C (1100 1001) for the LOW limit. Table 4.

The send byte format of the SMBus, as described later, with the use of OSHT command (0Fh), is used for this writing operation. In normal free-running-conversion operation mode of the device, a one-shot command immediately forces a new conversion cycle to begin. However, if a conversion is in progress when a one-shot command is received, the command is ignored. In software standby mode, the one-shot command generates a single conversion and comparison cycle and then puts the device back in its standby mode after the conversion. In hardware standby mode, the one shot is inhibited. +50 0 011 0010 +25 0 001 1001 +1 0 000 0001 0 0 000 0000 –1 1 111 1111 –25 1 110 0111 –50 1 100 1110 –65 1 011 1111 11 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Temperature monitor for microprocessor systems NE1617 Status register Alert interrupt The content of the status register reflects condition status resulting from all of these activities: comparisons between temperature measurements and temperature limits, the status of ADC conversion, and the hardware condition of the connection of external diode to the device. Bit assignments and bit functions of this register are listed in Table 6. This register can only be read using the command of register named RS. Upon POR, the status of all flag bits are reset to zero. The status byte is cleared by any successful read of the status register unless the fault condition persists. The ALERT output is used to signal Alert interruption from the device to the SMBus and is active low. Because this output is an open-drain output, a pull-up resistor (10kΩ typ) to VDD is required, and slave devices can share a common interrupt line on the same SMBus. An Alert interrupt is asserted by the device whenever any one of the fault conditions, as described in the Status register section, occurs: measured temperature equals or exceeds corresponding temp limits, the remote diode is physically disconnected from the device pins. Alert interrupt signal is latched and can only be cleared by reading the Alert Response byte from the Alert Response Address which is a special slave address to the SMBus. The ALERT output can not be reset by reading the device status register. The device was designed to accommodate the Alert interrupt detection capability of the SMBus. Notice that any one of the fault-conditions, except the conversion busy, also introduces an Alert interrupt to the SMBus that will be described in the following section. Also, whenever a one-shot command is executed, the status byte should be read after the conversion is completed, which is about 170ms after the one-shot command is sent. Basically, the SMBus provides Alert response interrupt pointers in order to identify the slave device which has caused the Alert interrupt. The 7-bit Alert response slave address is 0001 100 and the Alert response byte reflects the slave address of the device which has caused Alert interrupt. Bit assignments of the Alert response byte are listed in Table 7. The ALERT output will be reset to HIGH state upon reading the Alert response slave address unless the fault condition persists.

The device employs four standard SMBus protocols: Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte and Receive Byte. Data formats of those protocols are shown in Table 8 with following notifications: – Interrupt latch is cleared, the ALERT output is pulled high by the external pull-up resistor. – The auto-conversion rate is at 0.25Hz; conversion rate data is 02H. – Temperature limits for both channels are +127°C for high limit, and –55°C for low limit. – Command pointer register is set to 00 for quickly reading the RIT. – The SMBus master initiates data transfer by establishing a start condition (S) and terminates data transfer by generating a stop condition (P). – Data is sent over the serial bus in sequence of 9 clock pulses according to each 8-bit data byte followed by 1-bit status of the device acknowledgement. – The 7-bit slave address is equivalent to the selected address of the device. – The command byte is equivalent to the selected command of the device register – The send byte format is often used for the one-shot conversion command. – The receive byte format is used for quicker transfer data from a device reading register which was previously selected by a read byte format. Fault detection The NE1617 has a fault detector to the diode connection. The connection is checked when a conversion is initiated and the proper flags are set if the fault condition has occurred.

These precautions should be considered: D+ D– – Place the NE1617 as close as possible to the remote sensor. It can be from 4 to 8 inches, as long as the worst noise sources such as clock generator, data and address buses, CRTs are avoided. GND SL01218 – Route the D+ and D– lines in parallel and close together with ground guards enclosed. – Place a bypass capacitor of 0.1µF close to the VDD pin and an input filter capacitor of 2200pF close to the D+ and D– pins. – Leakage currents due to PC board contamination must be considered. Error can be introduced by the leakage current as shown on the characteristics curve (Temperature Error vs. PC Board Resistance). – A shielded twisted pair is recommended for a long distance remote sensor. Connect the shield of the cable at the device side to the NE1617 GND pin and leave the shield at the remote end unconnected to avoid ground loop. Also notice that the series resistance of the cable may introduce measurement error; 1Ω can introduce about 0.5°C. – Use wide tracks to reduce inductance and noise pickup that may be introduced by narrow ones. The width of 10 mil and space of 10 mil are recommended. 1999 Mar 19 14 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Temperature monitor for microprocessor systems SSOP16: 1999 Mar 19 plastic shrink small outline package; 16 leads; body width 3.9 mm; lead pitch 0.635 mm 15 NE1617 SOT519-1 Philips Semiconductors Product specification Temperature monitor for microprocessor systems NE1617 Data sheet status Data sheet status Product status Definition [1] Objective specification Development This data sheet contains the design target or goal specifications for product development.
