Absolute maximum ratings are limits beyond which operation
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only; functional operation at or above these
limits is not implied. For guaranteed specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some
performance characteristics may degrade when the device is
not operated under the listed test conditions.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND, unless
otherwise specified.
When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power
supplies (VIN< (GND or GNDA) or VIN>V+, except for SST
and analog voltage inputs), the current at that pin should be
limited to 5mA. The 20mA maximum package input current
rating limits to number of pins that can safely exceed the
power supplies with an input current of 5mA to four.
The maximum power dissipation must be de-rated at elevated
temperatures and is dictated by TJmax, θJA and the ambient
temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at
any temperature is PD = (TJmax - TA) / θJA. It must also take
into account self-heating that can adversely affect the
accuracy of internal sensors.
Human Body Model: 100pF capacitor discharged through a
1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. Machine Model: 200pF capacitor
discharged directly into each pin. Charged-Device Model is
per JESD22-C101C.

SST Sensors
Device Power-on Timing
The SST voltage and temperature sensor provides a means for
an analog signal to travel over a single-wire digital bus
enabling remote voltage and temperature sensing in areas
previously not monitored in the PC. The temperature sensor
supports an internal temperature sensor and external thermal
diodes.
Following a power-on reset, such as a system transitioning
from S3-S5 to S0, the aSC7531 will be able to participate in
the address and message timing negotiation and respond to
required SST bus commands such as respond to a GetDIB()
command within 10ms of the device’s VDD rail reaching 90%.
The aSC7531 has an internal power on reset and will be fully
functional within 50ms of power on.
The aSC7531 does not employ any device power
management.
This section outlines general requirements for Simple Serial
Transport (SST) sensors intended for use in PC desktop
applications that conform to SST Version 1.0 specification.
The aSC7531 is a Combination Voltage and Temperature
Sensor. It reports external temperature sensed by a remote
diode-connected transistor and an internal temperature
measurement. It also has five voltage measurements: 2.5V,
3.3V, 5V, 12V, and VCCP.
Addressing
The aSC7531 complies with the address range set aside for
fixed-address, discoverable devices as defined in the SST
Specification Version 1.0. Combination voltage and
temperature sensors use fixed addresses in the range of 0x48
to 0x4A. The aSC7531 may be programmed to any of these
addresses via the address select pin AD0.
Frame Check Sequence (FCS)
Each message requires a frame check sequence byte to
ensure reliable data exchange between host and client. The
message originator and client both make an FCS calculation.
One FCS byte must be returned from the message target to
the originator after all bytes including the header and the data
block are written. If data is read from the target, a second FCS
byte must follow the data block read.
The FCS byte is the result of an 8-bit cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) of the each data block preceding the FCS up to the
most recent, earlier FCS byte. The first FCS in the message
does not include the two address timing negotiation ‘0’ bits that
precede the address byte or the message timing negotiation bit
after the address byte. The first FCS does include the address
byte in its computation. The FCS is initialized at 0x00 and is
calculated in a way that conforms to a CRC-8 represented by
8
2
the CRC polynomial, C(x) = x + x + x + 1.
Bus Voltage
All SST sensor devices used for PC applications must be
capable of operating the SST interface portion of the sensor
device at 1.5 volts as defined in 1.5 Volt Static (DC)
Characteristics section of the SST Version 1.0 specification.
Little Endian Format
The bit level transfer is defined in the SST specification. The 2byte data values are returned in little Endian format, in other
words, the LSB is sent first followed by MSB.
For multi-function devices that allow access to multiple
sensors, the data is returned LSB followed by the MSB for the
first sensor, LSB followed by the MSB for the second sensor,
and so on. The specific order is explicitly specified in the
command description.
Atomic Readings
The aSC7531 ensures that every value returned is derived
from a single analog to digital conversion and is not skewed
(e.g. the MSB and the LSB come from two different
conversions).
Conversion Time
The maximum refresh time for all voltage and temperature
values is 200ms. The aSC7531 provides the logic to ensure all
readings meet the conversion time requirements.
There are 7 channels (5 voltage and 2 temperature) channels
which must be measured every 250ms.
Temperature Data
Data Precision, Accuracy and Resolution
The temperature data meets the following minimum
requirements:
•
Operational Range: -40°C to +125°C
•
Internal Sensor Accuracy:
o +/- 3°C over operational range
o +/- 2°C over 40°C to 70°C
•
Remote Sensor Accuracy (when TA is from 0°C to
70°C):
o +/- 3°C over operational range
o +/- 1°C over 50°C to 70°C
•
Resolution: 0.125°C
Temperature Data Format
Bus Timing
All SST sensor devices must be able to negotiate timing and
operate at a maximum bus transfer rate of 2-Mbps. If the bus
address timing is negotiated at a lower rate due to the
performance limitations of other devices on the bus, the sensor
device will operate at that lower rate.
© Andigilog, Inc. 2006
Voltage and Temperature Sensor Data
The data format is capable of reporting temperature values in
the range of +/-512°C. The temperature sensor data is
returned as a 2’s complement 16-bit binary value. It represents
the number of 1/64°C increments in the actual reading. This
allows temperatures to be represented with approximately a
0.016°C resolution.

A to D Converter Resolution and Mapping
The mapping of the A-D converter bit values is a two’s
complement representation with the binary point between bits
5 and 6 of the 16-bit data word. Bit 15 is the sign, bits 14
through 6 are integer temperature in degrees, bits 5 down to
3 are the fractional part with 0.125°C as the LSB. The lowest
3 bits are set to zero.
Temperature Inputs
The aSC7531A has an internal thermal sensor plus an
external sensor using a remote diode. The remote sensor is
calibrated for a 2N3904 NPN transistor that has a nonideality (η) factor of approximately 1.0046. Use of the remote
diode is discussed in the Applications Information section.
The aSC7531B also has an internal thermal sensor plus an
external sensor using a remote diode however the remote
sensor is calibrated for an Intel CPU (Pentium 4, 65nM) that
has a non-ideality (η) factor of approximately 1.009. Use of
the remote diode is discussed in the Applications Information
section.
The aSC7531 will write one of the values from the table
below to appropriate memory locations for GetIntTemp()
and/or GetExtTemp().
The aSC7531 uses the OEM defined values of 0x8102
(open) and 0x8103 (short) rather than the generic errors
defined for codes 0x8000 to 0x8003.

It is recommended that the actual transistor type and
manufacturers chosen for the remote sensor be
characterized for non-ideality as part of system qualification.
•
Sensor Error Condition
The aSC7531 has the capability to detect and report open or
shorted external diode inputs per Sensor Error Condition.
When an error or failure condition is detected, the sensor
device must return a large negative value in response to
either the GetIntTemp() or GetExtTemp() command. In this
manner software is provided with a means to determine
whether or not the sensor is working normally and that the
data returned is good.

range of +/-32V. The voltage sensor data is returned as a 16bit 2’s complement binary value. It represents the number of
1/1024 volts in the reading if extended the full 16-bits. This
allows voltages to be represented with approximately a 1mV
resolution.

Reserved or Unsupported Commands
Attempts to access the sensor using a reserved or unsupported command will not result in the device or bus failure. The sensor will
return a modified FCS when any of the following commands are received. To modify the FCS the sensor will invert all of the bits in
the correct FCS (1’s complement). A modified FCS is also called an Abort FCS.
The sensor will return an Abort FCS (modified FCS) for a reserved and unsupported command code (commands codes between
0xE4 to 0xF5 and 0xF8 to 0xFF).
The sensor will return an Abort FCS (modified FCS) for reserved commands (command codes 0x02 to 0x0F and 0x15 to 0xDF).
The sensor will return an Abort FCS (modified FCS) for unused vendor specific test and manufacturing command codes (command
codes 0xE8 to 0xEF). If any of these types of commands exist, they will be disabled during normal operation.
Malformed Commands
A malformed command is one which is valid but has an incorrect write or read length for the given command.
If a get temperature or get voltage command with a write length not equal to 1 is sent, then the aSC7531 will send an Abort FCS
and wait for a new command. An Abort FCS will be formed by creating a 1’s complement of the good FCS.
If a get temperature or get voltage command and the read length is not equal to 2, 4, or 10 then the aSC7531 will send an Abort
FCS and wait for a stop on the SST bus. See the Command Summary section for the expected Write and Read lengths of the legal
commands.
There will be no checking for malformed WriteReg() and ReadReg() commands (Vendor Specific Extensions).

Applications Information
Remote Diodes
The aSC7531 is designed to work with a variety of remote
sensors in the form of a diode-connected transistor or the
substrate thermal diode of a CPU or graphics controller.
Actual diodes are not suited for these measurements.
There is some variation in the performance of these diodes,
described in terms of its departure from the ideal diode
equation. This factor is called diode non-ideality, nf .
The equation relating diode temperature to a change in
thermal diode voltage with two driving currents is:
ΔVBE
KT
= (nf )
ln( N )
q
The aSC7531B is designed and trimmed for an expected nf
value of 1.009, based on the typical value for the 65nM
Pentium CPU. There is also a tolerance on the value
provided. The values for CPUs may have different nominal
values and tolerances. Consult the CPU or GPU
manufacturer’s data sheet for the nf factor. Table 6 gives a
representative sample of what one may expect in the range
of non-ideality. The trend with CPUs is for a lower value with
a larger spread.
When thermal diode has a non-ideality factor other than
1.009 the difference in temperature reading at a particular
temperature may be interpreted with the following equation:
⎛ 1.009 ⎞
⎟⎟
Tactual = Treported ⎜⎜
⎝ nactual ⎠
where:
where:
Treported = reported temperature in temperature register.
nf = diode-connected 2N3904 or CPU substrate non-ideality
factor.
-23
K = Boltzman’s constant, (1.38 x 10 ).
T = diode junction temperature in Kelvins.
-19
q = electron charge (1.6 x 10 Coulombs).
N = ratio of the two driving currents (10).
The aSC7531A is designed and trimmed for an expected nf
value of 1.0046, based on the typical value for the 2N3904.
There is also a tolerance on the value provided. Table 6
gives a representative sample of what one may expect in the
range of non-ideality.
For the aSC7531A, when thermal diode has a non-ideality
factor other than 1.0046 the difference in temperature
reading at a particular temperature may be interpreted with
the following equation:
⎛ 1.0046 ⎞
⎟
Tactual = Treported ⎜⎜
⎟
⎝ nactual ⎠
Tactual = actual remote diode temperature.
nactual = selected diode’s non-ideality factor, nf .
Temperatures are in Kelvins or °C + 273.15.
This equation assumes that the series resistance of the
remote diode 4.52Ω.
Although the temperature error caused by non-ideality
difference is directly proportional to the difference from 1.009,
but a small difference in non-ideality results in a relatively
large difference in temperature reading. For example, if there
were a ±1% tolerance in the non-Ideality of a diode it would
result in a ±2.7 degree difference (at 0°C) in the result (0.01 x
273.15).
This difference varies with temperature such that a fixed
offset value may only be used over a very narrow range.
Typical correction method required when measuring a wide
range of temperature values is to scale the temperature
reading in the host firmware.
where:
Treported = reported temperature in temperature register.
Tactual = actual remote diode temperature.
nactual = selected diode’s non-ideality factor, nf .
Temperatures are in Kelvins or °C + 273.15.
This equation assumes that the series resistance of the
remote diode 0.6Ω.
Although the temperature error caused by non-ideality
difference is directly proportional to the difference from
1.0046, a small difference in non-ideality results in a
relatively large difference in temperature reading. For
example, if there were a ±1% tolerance in the non-Ideality of
a diode it would result in a ±2.7 degree difference (at 0°C) in
the result (0.01 x 273.15).

Discrete Remote Diodes
Series Resistance
When sensing temperatures other than the CPU or GPU
substrate, an NPN or PNP transistor may be used. Most
commonly used are the 2N3904 and 2N3906. These have
characteristics similar to the CPU substrate diode with nonideality around 1.0046. They are connected with base to
collector shorted as shown in Figure 18.
Any external series resistance in the connections from the
aSC7531 to the CPU pins should be accounted for in
interpreting the results of a measurement.
While it is important to minimize the distance to the remote
diode to reduce high-frequency noise pickup, they may be
located many feet away with proper shielding. Shielded,
twisted-pair cable is recommended, with the shield
connected only at the aSC7531A end as close as possible to
the ground pin of the device.
The impact of series resistance on the measured
temperature is a result of measurement currents developing
offset voltages that add to the diode voltage. This is relatively
constant with temperature and may be corrected with a fixed
value in the offset register. To determine the temperature
impact of resistance is as follows:
ΔTR = RS × TV × ΔI D

Figure 18 Discrete Remote Diode Connection
As with the CPU substrate diode, the temperature reported
will be subject to the same errors due to non-ideality variation
and series resistance. However, the transistor’s die
temperature is usually not the temperature of interest and
care must be taken to minimize the thermal resistance and
physical distance between that temperature and the remote
diode. The offset and response time will need to be
characterized by the user.
CPU or ASIC Substrate Remote Diodes
A substrate diode is a parasitic PNP transistor that has its
collector tied to ground through the substrate and the base
(D-) and emitter (D+) brought out to pins. Connection to
these pins is shown in Figure 19. The non-ideality figures in
Table 6 include the effects of any package resistance and
represent the value seen from the CPU socket. The
temperature indicated will need to be compensated for the
departure from a non-ideality of 1.0046 and series resistance
of 0.6Ω .
For example, a total series resistance of 10Ω would give an
offset of +6.75°C.
Board Layout Considerations
The distance between the remote sensor and the aSC7531
should be minimized. All wiring should be defended from high
frequency noise sources and a balanced differential layout
maintained on D+ and D-.
Any noise, both common-mode and differential, induced in
the remote diode interconnect may result in an offset in the
temperature reported. Circuit board layout should follow the
recommendation of Figure 20. Basically, use 10-mil lines and
spaces with grounds on each side of the differential pair.
Choose the ground plane closest to the CPU when using the
CPU’s remote diode.

Board Interconnect
Noise filtering is accomplished by using a bypass capacitor
placed as close as possible to the aSC7531 D+ and D- pins.
A 1.0nF ceramic capacitor is recommended, but up to 3.3nF
may be used. Additional filtering takes place within the
aSC7531.
- 15 www.andigilog.com
December 2006 - 70A05012
aSC7531A / aSC7531B
It is recommended that the following guidelines be used to
minimize noise and achieve highest accuracy:
1.
Place a 0.1µF bypass capacitor to digital ground as
close as possible to the power pin of the aSC7531.
2.
Match the trace routing of the D+ and D- leads and
use a 1.0nF filter capacitor close to the aSC7531. Use
ground runs along side the pair to minimize differential
coupling as in Figure 20.
3.
Place the aSC7531B as close to the CPU or GPU
remote diode leads as possible to minimize noise and
series resistance.
4.
Avoid running diode connections close to or in parallel
with high-speed busses, staying at least 2cm away.
5.
Avoid running diode connections close to on-board
switching power supply inductors.
6.
PC board leakage should be minimized by maintaining
minimum trace spacing and covering traces over their
full length with solder mask.
Thermal Considerations
The temperature of the aSC7531 will be close to that of the
PC board on which it is mounted. Conduction through the
leads is the primary path for heat flow. The reported local
sensor is very close to the circuit board temperature and
typically between the board and ambient.
In order to measure PC board temperature in an area of
interest, such as the area around the CPU where voltage
regulator components generate significant heat, a remote
diode-connected transistor should be used. A surface-mount
SOT-23 or SOT-223 is recommended. The small size is
advantageous in minimizing response time because of its low
thermal mass, but at the same time it has low surface area
and a high thermal resistance to ambient air. A compromise
must be achieved between minimizing thermal mass and
increasing the surface area to lower the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance.
In order to sense temperature of air-flows near boardmounted heat sources, such as memory modules, the sensor
should be mounted above the PC board. A TO-92 packaged
transistor is recommended.
The power consumption of the aSC7531 is relatively low and
should have little self-heating effect on the local sensor
reading. At the highest measurement rate the dissipation is
less than 2mW, resulting in only a few tenths of a degree
rise.
