Quad Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with Beta
Compensation and 1.8V SMBus Communications
PRODUCT FEATURES
Datasheet
General Description
Applications
The EMC1184 is a high accuracy, low cost, 1.8V System
Management Bus (SMBus) compatible temperature sensor.
Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction (REC),
Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes requiring the
BJT/transistor model including 65nm and lower geometry
processors) and automatic diode type detection combine to
provide a robust solution for complex environmental monitoring
applications. The ability to communicate at 1.8V SMBus levels
provides compatible I/O for the advanced processors found in
today’s tablet and smartphone applications.

The EMC1184 monitors four temperature (three external and
one internal) channels, providing ±1°C accuracy for both
external and internal diode temperatures.
REC automatically eliminates the temperature error caused by
series resistance allowing greater flexibility in routing thermal
diodes. Frequency hopping* and analog filters ensure remote
diode traces can be as far as eight (8) inches without degrading
the signal. Beta Compensation eliminates temperature errors
caused by low, variable beta transistors common in today's fine
geometry processors. The automatic beta detection feature
monitors the external diode/transistor and determines the
optimum sensor settings for accurate temperature
measurements regardless of processor technology. This frees
the user from providing unique sensor configurations for each
temperature monitoring application. These advanced features
plus ±1°C measurement accuracy provide a low-cost, highly
flexible and accurate solution for critical temperature monitoring
applications.

4.1
Communications Protocol
The EMC1184 communicates with a host controller, such as an SMSC SIO, through the SMBus. The
SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 4.1.
For the first 15ms after power-up the device may not respond to SMBus communications.

4.1.1
SMBus Start Bit
The SMBus Start bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘1’ state to a logic
‘0’ state while the SMBus Clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state.
4.1.2
SMBus Address and RD / WR Bit
The SMBus Address Byte consists of the 7-bit client address followed by the RD / WR indicator bit. If
this RD / WR bit is a logic ‘0’, the SMBus Host is writing data to the client device. If this RD / WR bit
is a logic ‘1’, the SMBus Host is reading data from the client device.
The EMC1183-A and EMC1184-A SMBus slave address is determined by the pull-up resistor on the
THERM pin as shown in Table 4.1, "SMBus Address Decode".
The Address decode is performed by pulling known currents from VDD through the external resistor
causing the pin voltage to drop based on the respective current / resistor relationship. This pin voltage
is compared against a threshold that determines the value of the pull-up resistor.

THERM Pin Considerations
Because of the decode method used to determine the SMBus Address, it is important that the pull-up
resistance on the THERM pin be within the tolerances shown in Table 4.1. Additionally, the pull-up
resistor on the THERM pin must be connected to the same 3.3V supply that drives the VDD pin.
For 15ms after power up, the THERM pin must not be pulled low or the SMBus address will not be
decoded properly. If the system requirements do not permit these conditions, the THERM pin must be
isolated from its hard-wired OR’d bus during this time.
One method of isolating this pin is shown in Figure 4.4, "Isolating the THERM pin".

SMBus Data Bytes
All SMBus Data bytes are sent most significant bit first and composed of 8-bits of information.
4.1.6
SMBus ACK and NACK Bits
The SMBus client will acknowledge all data bytes that it receives. This is done by the client device
pulling the SMBus data line low after the 8th bit of each byte that is transmitted. This applies to the
Write Byte protocol.
The Host will NACK (not acknowledge) the last data byte to be received from the client by holding the
SMBus data line high after the 8th data bit has been sent.

4.1.7
SMBus Stop Bit
The SMBus Stop bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘0’ state to a logic
‘1’ state while the SMBus clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state. When the device detects an SMBus Stop bit
and it has been communicating with the SMBus protocol, it will reset its client interface and prepare
to receive further communications.
4.1.8
SMBus Timeout
The EMC1184 supports SMBus Timeout. If the clock line is held low for longer than tTIMEOUT, the
device will reset its SMBus protocol. This function can be enabled by setting the TIMEOUT bit (see
Section 6.12, "Consecutive ALERT Register 22h").
4.1.9
SMBus and I2C Compatibility
The EMC1184 is compatible with SMBus and I2C. The major differences between SMBus and I2C
devices are highlighted here. For more information, refer to the SMBus 2.0 and I2C specifications. For
information on using the EMC1184 in an I2C system, refer to SMSC AN 14.0 SMSC Dedicated Slave
Devices in I2C Systems.
1. EMC1184 supports I2C fast mode at 400kHz. This covers the SMBus max time of 100kHz.
2. Minimum frequency for SMBus communications is 10kHz.
3. The SMBus client protocol will reset if the clock is held at a logic ‘0’ for longer than 30ms. This
timeout functionality is disabled by default in the EMC1184 and can be enabled by writing to the
TIMEOUT bit. I2C does not have a timeout.
4. I2C devices do not support the Alert Response Address functionality (which is optional for SMBus).
Attempting to communicate with the EMC1184 SMBus interface with an invalid slave address or invalid
protocol will result in no response from the device and will not affect its register contents. Stretching
of the SMCLK signal is supported, provided other devices on the SMBus control the timing.
4.2
SMBus Protocols
The device supports Send Byte, Read Byte, Write Byte, Receive Byte, and the Alert Response Address
as valid protocols as shown below.
All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 4.1.

The EMC1184 will respond to the ARA in the following way:
1. Send Slave Address and verify that full slave address was sent (i.e. the SMBus communication
from the device was not prematurely stopped due to a bus contention event).
2. Set the MASK_ALL bit to clear the ALERT pin.
APPLICATION NOTE: The ARA does not clear the Status Register and if the MASK_ALL bit is cleared prior to the
Status Register being cleared, the ALERT pin will be reasserted.

Chapter 5 Product Description
The EMC1184 is an SMBus temperature sensor. The EMC1184 monitors one internal diode and up to
three externally connected temperature diodes.
Thermal management is performed in cooperation with a host device. This consists of the host reading
the temperature data of both the external and internal temperature diodes of the EMC1184 and using
that data to control the speed of one or more fans.
The EMC1184 has two levels of monitoring. The first provides a maskable ALERT / THERM2 signal
to the host when the measured temperatures exceeds user programmable limits. This allows the
EMC1184 to be used as an independent thermal watchdog to warn the host of temperature hot spots
without direct control by the host. The second level of monitoring provides a non-maskable interrupt
on the THERM pin if the measured temperatures meet or exceed a second programmable limit.
For the EMC1184, External Diode channels 2 and 3 are only compatible with general purpose diodes
(such as a 2N3904).
Figure 5.1 shows a system level block diagram of the EMC1184.

Modes of Operation
The EMC1184 has two modes of operation.

Active (Run) - In this mode of operation, the ADC is converting on all temperature channels at the
programmed conversion rate. The temperature data is updated at the end of every conversion and
the limits are checked. In Active mode, writing to the one-shot register will do nothing.

Standby (Stop) - In this mode of operation, the majority of circuitry is powered down to reduce
supply current. The temperature data is not updated and the limits are not checked. In this mode
of operation, the SMBus is fully active and the part will return requested data. Writing to the oneshot register will enable the device to update all temperature channels. Once all the channels are
updated, the device will return to the Standby mode.

Conversion Rates
The EMC1184 may be configured for different conversion rates based on the system requirements.
The conversion rate is configured as described in Section 6.5. The default conversion rate is 4
conversions per second. Other available conversion rates are shown in Table 6.6, "Conversion Rate".
5.3
Dynamic Averaging
Dynamic averaging causes the EMC1184 to measure the external diode channels for an extended time
based on the selected conversion rate. This functionality can be disabled for increased power savings
at the lower conversion rates (see Section 6.4, "Configuration Register 03h / 09h"). When dynamic
averaging is enabled, the device will automatically adjust the sampling and measurement time for the
external diode channels. This allows the device to average 2x or 16x longer than the normal 11 bit
operation (nominally 21ms per channel) while still maintaining the selected conversion rate. The
benefits of dynamic averaging are improved noise rejection due to the longer integration time as well
as less random variation of the temperature measurement.
When enabled, the dynamic averaging applies when a one-shot command is issued. The device will
perform the desired averaging during the one-shot operation according to the selected conversion rate.
When enabled, the dynamic averaging will affect the average supply current based on the chosen
conversion rate as shown in Table 5.1.

THERM Output
The THERM output is asserted independently of the ALERT output and cannot be masked. Whenever
any of the measured temperatures exceed the user programmed Therm Limit values for the
programmed number of consecutive measurements, the THERM output is asserted. Once it has been
SMSC EMC1184

DATASHEET
Revision 1.0 (07-11-13)
Quad Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with Beta Compensation and 1.8V SMBus Communications
Datasheet
asserted, it will remain asserted until all measured temperatures drop below the Therm Limit minus
the Therm Hysteresis (also programmable).
When the THERM pin is asserted, the THERM status bits will likewise be set. Reading these bits will
not clear them until the THERM pin is deasserted. Once the THERM pin is deasserted, the THERM
status bits will be automatically cleared.
5.4.1
THERM Pin Considerations
Because of the decode method used to determine the SMBus Address, it is important that the pull-up
resistance on THERM pin be within ±10% tolerance. Additionally, the pull-up resistor on the THERM
pin must be connected to the same 3.3V supply that drives the VDD pin.
For 15ms after power up, the THERM pin must not be pulled low or the SMBus Address will not be
decoded properly. If the system requirements do not permit these conditions, the THERM pin must be
isolated from the bus during this time. One method of isolating this pin is shown in Figure 5.2.

ALERT / THERM2 Output
The ALERT / THERM2 pin is an open drain output and requires a pull-up resistor to VDD and has two
modes of operation: interrupt mode and comparator mode. The mode of the ALERT / THERM2 output
is selected via the ALERT / COMPALERT/THERM bit in the Configuration Register (see Section 6.4).
5.5.1
ALERT / THERM2 Pin InterruptALERT Mode
When configured to operate in interrupt mode, the ALERT / THERM2 pin asserts low when an out of
limit measurement (> high limit or < low limit) is detected on any diode or when a diode fault is
detected, functioning as any standard ALERT in on the SMBus. The ALERT / THERM2 pin will remain
asserted as long as an out-of-limit condition remains. Once the out-of-limit condition has been
removed, the ALERT / THERM2 pin will remain asserted until the appropriate status bits are cleared.
The ALERT/ THERM2 pin can be masked by setting the MASK_ALL bit. Once the ALERT / THERM2
pin has been masked, it will be de-asserted and remain de-asserted until the MASK_ALL bit is cleared
by the user. Any interrupt conditions that occur while the ALERT / THERM2 pin is masked will update
the Status Register normally. There are also individual channel masks (see Section 6.11).
The ALERT / THERM2 pin is used as an interrupt signal or as an SMBus Alert signal that allows an
SMBus slave to communicate an error condition to the master. One or more ALERT / THERM2 outputs
can be hard-wired together.

5.5.2
ALERT / THERM2 Pin ComparatorTHERM Mode
When the ALERT / THERM2 pin is configured to operate in comparator mode, it will be asserted if any
of the measured temperatures exceeds the respective high limit, acting as a second THERM function
in. The ALERT / THERM2 pin will remain asserted until all temperatures drop below the corresponding
high limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
When the ALERT / THERM2 pin is asserted in comparator mode, the corresponding high limit status
bits will be set. Reading these bits will not clear them until the ALERT / THERM2 pin is deasserted.
Once the ALERT pin is deasserted, the status bits will be automatically cleared.
The MASK_ALL bit will not block the ALERT / THERM2 pin in this mode; however, the individual
channel masks (see Section 6.11) will prevent the respective channel from asserting the ALERT/
THERM2 pin.
5.6
Temperature Measurement
The EMC1184 can monitor the temperature of up to three externally connected diodes.
The device contains programmable High, Low, and Therm limits for all measured temperature
channels. If the measured temperature goes below the Low limit or above the High limit, the ALERT
pin can be asserted (based on user settings). If the measured temperature meets or exceeds the
Therm Limit, the THERM pin is asserted unconditionally, providing two tiers of temperature detection.
5.6.1
Beta Compensation
The EMC1184 is configured to monitor the temperature of basic diodes (e.g., 2N3904) or CPU thermal
diodes. It automatically detects the type of external diode (CPU diode or diode connected transistor)
and determines the optimal setting to reduce temperature errors introduced by beta variation.
Compensating for this error is also known as implementing the transistor or BJT model for temperature
measurement.
For discrete transistors configured with the collector and base shorted together, the beta is generally
sufficiently high such that the percent change in beta variation is very small. For example, a 10%
variation in beta for two forced emitter currents with a transistor whose ideal beta is 50 would contribute
approximately 0.25°C error at 100°C. However for substrate transistors where the base-emitter junction
is used for temperature measurement and the collector is tied to the substrate, the proportional beta
variation will cause large error. For example, a 10% variation in beta for two forced emitter currents
with a transistor whose ideal beta is 0.5 would contribute approximately 8.25°C error at 100°C.
For the EMC1184 the External Diode 2 and External Diode 3 channels do not support Beta
Compensation.
5.6.2
Resistance Error Correction (REC)
Parasitic resistance in series with the external diodes will limit the accuracy obtainable from
temperature measurement devices. The voltage developed across this resistance by the switching
diode currents cause the temperature measurement to read higher than the true temperature.
Contributors to series resistance are PCB trace resistance, on die (i.e. on the processor) metal
resistance, bulk resistance in the base and emitter of the temperature transistor. Typically, the error
caused by series resistance is +0.7°C per ohm. The EMC1184 automatically corrects up to 100 ohms
of series resistance.
5.6.3
Programmable External Diode Ideality Factor
The EMC1184 is designed for external diodes with an ideality factor of 1.008. Not all external diodes,
processor or discrete, will have this exact value. This variation of the ideality factor introduces error in
the temperature measurement which must be corrected for. This correction is typically done using
programmable offset registers. Since an ideality factor mismatch introduces an error that is a function
SMSC EMC1184
21
DATASHEET
Revision 1.0 (07-11-13)
Quad Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with Beta Compensation and 1.8V SMBus Communications
Datasheet
of temperature, this correction is only accurate within a small range of temperatures. To provide
maximum flexibility to the user, the EMC1184 provides a 6-bit register for each external diode where
the ideality factor of the diode used is programmed to eliminate errors across all temperatures.
APPLICATION NOTE: When monitoring a substrate transistor or CPU diode and beta compensation is enabled, the
Ideality Factor should not be adjusted. Beta Compensation automatically corrects for most
ideality errors.
5.7
Diode Faults
The EMC1184 detects an open on the DP and DN pins, and a short across the DP and DN pins. For
each temperature measurement made, the device checks for a diode fault on the external diode
channel(s). When a diode fault is detected, the ALERT / THERM2 pin asserts (unless masked, see
Section 5.8) and the temperature data reads 00h in the MSB and LSB registers (note: the low limit will
not be checked). A diode fault is defined as one of the following: an open between DP and DN, a short
from VDD to DP, or a short from VDD to DN.
If a short occurs across DP and DN or a short occurs from DP to GND, the low limit status bit is set
and the ALERT / THERM2 pin asserts (unless masked). This condition is indistinguishable from a
temperature measurement of 0.000°C (-64°C in extended range) resulting in temperature data of 00h
in the MSB and LSB registers.
If a short from DN to GND occurs (with a diode connected), temperature measurements will continue
as normal with no alerts.
5.8
Consecutive Alerts
The EMC1184 contains multiple consecutive alert counters. One set of counters applies to the ALERT
/ THERM2 pin and the second set of counters applies to the THERM pin. Each temperature
measurement channel has a separate consecutive alert counter for each of the ALERT / THERM2 and
THERM pins. All counters are user programmable and determine the number of consecutive
measurements that a temperature channel(s) must be out-of-limit or reporting a diode fault before the
corresponding pin is asserted.
See Section 6.12, "Consecutive ALERT Register 22h" for more details on the consecutive alert
function.
5.9
Digital Filter
To reduce the effect of noise and temperature spikes on the reported temperature, the External Diode
1 channel uses a programmable digital filter. This filter can be configured as Level 1, Level 2, or
Disabled (default) (see Section 6.18). The typical filter performance is shown in Figure 5.4 and
Figure 5.5.

Temperature Measurement Results and Data
The temperature measurement results are stored in the internal and external temperature registers.
These are then compared with the values stored in the high and low limit registers. Both external and
internal temperature measurements are stored in 11-bit format with the eight (8) most significant bits
stored in a high byte register and the three (3) least significant bits stored in the three (3) MSB
positions of the low byte register. All other bits of the low byte register are set to zero.
The EMC1184 has two selectable temperature ranges. The default range is from 0°C to +127°C and
the temperature is represented as binary number able to report a temperature from 0°C to +127.875°C
in 0.125°C steps.
The extended range is an extended temperature range from -64°C to +191°C. The data format is a
binary number offset by 64°C. The extended range is used to measure temperature diodes with a large
known offset (such as AMD processor diodes) where the diode temperature plus the offset would be
equivalent to a temperature higher than +127°C.
Table 5.2 shows the default and extended range formats.

Data Read Interlock
When any temperature channel high byte register is read, the corresponding low byte is copied into
an internal ‘shadow’ register. The user is free to read the low byte at any time and be guaranteed that
it will correspond to the previously read high byte. Regardless if the low byte is read or not, reading
from the same high byte register again will automatically refresh this stored low byte data.

The Status Register reports general error conditions. To identify specific channels, refer to
Section 6.10, Section 6.15, Section 6.16, and Section 6.17. The individual Status Register bits are
cleared when the appropriate High Limit, Low Limit, or Therm Limit register has been read or cleared.
Bit 7 - BUSY - This bit indicates that the ADC is currently converting. This bit does not cause either
the ALERT / THERM2 or THERM pin to be asserted.
Bit 4 - HIGH - This bit is set when any of the temperature channels exceeds its programmed high limit.
See the High Limit Status Register for specific channel information (Section 6.15). When set, this bit
will assert the ALERT / THERM2 pin.
Bit 3 - LOW - This bit is set when any of the temperature channels drops below its programmed low
limit. See the Low Limit Status Register for specific channel information (Section 6.16). When set, this
bit will assert the ALERT / THERM2 pin.
Bit 2 - FAULT - This bit is asserted when a diode fault is detected on any of the external diode
channels. See the External Diode Fault Register for specific channel information (Section 6.10). When
set, this bit will assert the ALERT / THERM2 pin.
Bit 1 - THERM - This bit is set when the any of the temperature channels exceeds its programmed
Therm Limit. See the Therm Limit Status Register for specific channel information (Section 6.17).
When set, this bit will assert the THERM pin.

The device contains both high and low limits for all temperature channels. If the measured temperature
exceeds the high limit, then the corresponding status bit is set and the ALERT / THERM2 pin is
asserted. Likewise, if the measured temperature is less than or equal to the low limit, the
corresponding status bit is set and the ALERT / THERM2 pin is asserted.
The data format for the limits must match the selected data format for the temperature so that if the
extended temperature range is used, the limits must be programmed in the extended data format.
The limit registers with multiple addresses are fully accessible at either address.

When the device is in Standby mode, updating the limit registers will have no effect until the next
conversion cycle occurs. This can be initiated via a write to the One Shot Register (see Section 6.8,
"One Shot Register 0Fh") or by clearing the RUN / STOP bit (see Section 6.4, "Configuration Register

The Therm Limit Registers are used to determine whether a critical thermal event has occurred. If the
measured temperature exceeds the Therm Limit, the THERM pin is asserted. The limit setting must
match the chosen data format of the temperature reading registers.
Unlike the ALERT / THERM2 pin, the THERM pin cannot be masked. Additionally, the THERM pin will
be released once the temperature drops below the corresponding threshold minus the Therm
Hysteresis.

The Consecutive ALERT Register determines how many times an out-of-limit error or diode fault must
be detected in consecutive measurements before the ALERT / THERM2 or THERM pin is asserted.
Additionally, the Consecutive ALERT Register controls the SMBus Timeout functionality.
An out-of-limit condition (i.e. HIGH, LOW, or FAULT) occurring on the same temperature channel in
consecutive measurements will increment the consecutive alert counter. The counters will also be reset
if no out-of-limit condition or diode fault condition occurs in a consecutive reading.
When the ALERT / THERM2 pin is configured as an interrupt, when the consecutive alert counter
reaches its programmed value, the following will occur: the STATUS bit(s) for that channel and the last
error condition(s) (i.e. E1HIGH, or E2LOW and/or E2FAULT) will be set to ‘1’, the ALERT / THERM2
pin will be asserted, the consecutive alert counter will be cleared, and measurements will continue.
When the ALERT / THERM2 pin is configured as a comparator, the consecutive alert counter will
ignore diode fault and low limit errors and only increment if the measured temperature exceeds the
High Limit. Additionally, once the consecutive alert counter reaches the programmed limit, the ALERT/
THERM2 pin will be asserted, but the counter will not be reset. It will remain set until the temperature
drops below the High Limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
For example, if the CALRT[2:0] bits are set for 4 consecutive alerts on an EMC1184 device, the high
limits are set at 70°C, and none of the channels are masked, the ALERT / THERM2 pin will be
asserted after the following four measurements:

1. Internal Diode reads 71°C and both external diodes read 69°C. Consecutive alert counter for INT
is incremented to 1.
2. Both the Internal Diode and External Diode 1 read 71°C and External Diode 2 reads 68°C.
Consecutive alert counter for INT is incremented to 2 and for EXT1 is set to 1.
3. The External Diode 1 reads 71°C and both the Internal Diode and External Diode 2 read 69°C.
Consecutive alert counters for INT and EXT2 are cleared and EXT1 is incremented to 2.
4. The Internal Diode reads 71°C and both external diodes read 71°C. Consecutive alert counter for
INT is set to 1, EXT2 is set to 1, and EXT1 is incremented to 3.
5. The Internal Diode reads 71°C and both the external diodes read 71°C. Consecutive alert counter
for INT is incremented to 2, EXT2 is set to 2, and EXT1 is incremented to 4. The appropriate status
bits are set for EXT1 and the ALERT / THERM2 pin is asserted. EXT1 counter is reset to 0 and
all other counters hold the last value until the next temperature measurement.
Bit 7 - TIMEOUT - Determines whether the SMBus Timeout function is enabled.

‘0’ (default) - The SMBus Timeout feature is disabled. The SMCLK line can be held low indefinitely
without the device resetting its SMBus protocol.

‘1’ - The SMBus Timeout feature is enabled. If the SMCLK line is held low for more than tTIMEOUT,
the device will reset the SMBus protocol.
Bits 6-4 - CTHRM[2:0] - Determines the number of consecutive measurements that must exceed the
corresponding Therm Limit before the THERM pin is asserted. All temperature channels use this value
to set the respective counters. The consecutive Therm counter is incremented whenever any
measurement exceed the corresponding Therm Limit.
If the temperature drops below the Therm Limit, the counter is reset. If a number of consecutive
measurements above the Therm Limit occurs, the THERM pin is asserted low.
Once the THERM pin has been asserted, the consecutive therm counter will not reset until the
corresponding temperature drops below the Therm Limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
The bits are decoded as shown in Table 6.14. The default setting is 4 consecutive out of limit
conversions.
Bits 3-1 - CALRT[2:0] - Determine the number of consecutive measurements that must have an out of
limit condition or diode fault before the ALERT / THERM2 pin is asserted. All temperature channels
use this value to set the respective counters. The bits are decoded as shown in Table 6.14. The default
setting is 1 consecutive out of limit conversion.

These registers are used to set the Beta Compensation factor that is used for the external diode
channels.
Bit 3 - ENABLE12 - Enables the Beta Compensation factor auto-detection function for External Diode
2 External Diode 1.The ENABLE2 control is disabled for the EMC1184beta compensation cannot be
enabled for External Diode 2 or 3.

The BETA1[2:0] bits will be automatically updated to indicate the current setting.. This is the default
for EMC1184 for External Diode 1 only
Bit 2-0 - BETA1[2:0] - These bits always reflect the current beta configuration settings. If auto-detection
circuitry is enabled, these bits will be updated automatically and writing to these bits will have no effect.
If the auto-detection circuitry is disabled, these bits will determine the beta configuration setting that is
used for the respective channels.BETA2[2:0] is set to 111b and cannot be changed for the EMC1184.
Care should be taken when setting the BETA1[2:0] bits when the auto-detection circuitry is disabled.
If the Beta Compensation factor is set at a beta value that is higher than the transistor beta, the circuit
may introduce measurement errors. When measuring a discrete thermal diode (such as 2N3904) or a
CPU diode that functions like a discrete thermal diode (such as an AMD processor diode), the
BETA1[2:0] bits should be set to ‘111b’.

These registers store the ideality factors that are applied to the external diodes. Table 6.18 defines
each setting and the corresponding ideality factor. Beta Compensation and Resistance Error Correction
automatically correct for most diode ideality errors; therefore, it is not recommended that these settings
be updated without consulting SMSC.

For CPU substrate transistors that require the BJT transistor model, the ideality factor behaves slightly
differently than for discrete diode-connected transistors. Refer to Table 6.19 when using a CPU
substrate transistor.
