The ADT7420 is a high accuracy digital temperature sensor
offering breakthrough performance over a wide industrial
range, housed in an LFCSP package. It contains a band gap
temperature reference and a 13-bit ADC to monitor and digitize
the temperature to a 0.0625°C resolution. The ADC resolution,
by default, is set to 13 bits (0.0625°C). This can be changed to
16 bits (0.0078°C) by setting Bit 7 in the configuration register
to 1 (Register Address 0x03).
The ADT7420 is guaranteed to operate over supply voltages from
2.7 V to 5.5 V. Operating at 3.3 V, the average supply current is typically 210 μA. The ADT7420 has a shutdown mode that powers
down the device and offers a shutdown current of typically 2 μA.
The ADT7420 is rated for operation over the −40°C to +150°C
temperature range.
APPLICATIONS
Pin A0 and Pin A1 are available for address selection, giving the
ADT7420 four possible I2C addresses. The CT pin is an opendrain output that becomes active when the temperature exceeds
a programmable critical temperature limit. The default critical
temperature limit is 147°C. The INT pin is also an open-drain
output that becomes active when the temperature exceeds a
programmable limit. The INT and CT pins can operate in either
comparator or interrupt mode.

THEORY OF OPERATION
CIRCUIT INFORMATION
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The ADT7420 is a 13-bit digital temperature sensor that is extendable to 16 bits for greater resolution. An on-board temperature
sensor generates a voltage proportional to absolute temperature,
which is compared to an internal voltage reference and input to a
precision digital modulator.
In normal mode, the ADT7420 runs an automatic conversion
sequence. During this automatic conversion sequence, a conversion takes 240 ms to complete and the ADT7420 is continuously
converting. This means that as soon as one temperature conversion is completed, another temperature conversion begins. Each
temperature conversion result is stored in the temperature value
registers and is available through the I2C interface. In continuous
conversion mode, the read operation provides the most recent
converted result.
The on-board temperature sensor has high accuracy and
linearity over the entire rated temperature range without
needing correction or calibration by the user.
The sensor output is digitized by a sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator,
also known as the charge balance type analog-to-digital converter. This type of converter utilizes time-domain oversampling
and a high accuracy comparator to deliver 16 bits of resolution
in an extremely compact circuit.
Configuration register functions consist of

Switching between 13-bit and 16-bit resolution

Setting the number of faults that activate CT and INT
Enabling the standard one-shot mode and 1 SPS mode
CONVERTER DETAILS
The Σ-Δ modulator consists of an input sampler, a summing
network, an integrator, a comparator, and a 1-bit DAC. This
architecture creates a negative feedback loop and minimizes the
integrator output by changing the duty cycle of the comparator
output in response to input voltage changes. The comparator
samples the output of the integrator at a much higher rate than
the input sampling frequency. This oversampling spreads the
quantization noise over a much wider band than that of the
input signal, improving overall noise performance and
increasing accuracy.
The modulated output of the comparator is encoded using
a circuit technique that results in I2C temperature data.
Σ-∆ MODULATOR
The conversion clock for the part is generated internally.
No external clock is required except when reading from
and writing to the serial port.
The measured temperature value is compared with a critical
temperature limit (stored in the 16-bit TCRIT setpoint read/write
register), a high temperature limit (stored in the 16-bit THIGH setpoint read/write register), and a low temperature limit (stored
in the 16-bit TLOW setpoint read/write register). If the measured
value exceeds these limits, the INT pin is activated; and if it exceeds
the TCRIT limit, the CT pin is activated. The INT and CT pins are
programmable for polarity via the configuration register, and the
INT and CT pins are also programmable for interrupt mode via
the configuration register.
ONE-SHOT MODE
Setting Bit 5 to 0 and Bit 6 to 1 of the configuration register
(Register Address 0x03) enables the one-shot mode. When
this mode is enabled, the ADT7420 immediately completes a
conversion and then goes into shutdown mode.
Wait for a minimum of 240 ms after writing to the operation
mode bits to the one-shot bits before reading back the
temperature from the temperature value register. This time
ensures that the ADT7420 has time to power up and complete a
conversion.
The one-shot mode is useful when one of the circuit design
priorities is to reduce power consumption.

1 SPS MODE
In this mode, the part performs one measurement per second.
A conversion takes only 60 ms, and it remains in the idle state
for the remaining 940 ms period. This mode is enabled by
writing 1 to Bit 5 and 0 to Bit 6 of the configuration register
(Register Address 0x03).

On power-up, the first conversion is a fast conversion, taking
typically 6 ms. If the temperature exceeds 147°C, the CT pin
asserts low. If the temperature exceeds 64°C, the INT pin asserts
low. Fast conversion temperature accuracy is typically within ±5°C.

Preliminary Technical Data
CT and INT Operation in One-Shot Mode
See Figure 12 for more information on one-shot CT pin
operation for TCRIT overtemperature events when one of the
limits is exceeded. Note that in interrupt mode, a read from
any register resets the INT and CT pins.
For the INT pin in the comparator mode, if the temperature
drops below the THIGH – THYST value or goes above the TLOW +
THYST value, a write to the one-shot bits (Bit 5 and Bit 6 of the
configuration register, Register Address 0x03) resets the INT pin.
For the CT pin in the comparator mode, if the temperature
drops below the TCRIT – THYST value, a write to the operation
mode bits (Bit 5 = 0 and Bit 6 = 1of the configuration register,
Register Address 0x03) resets the CT pin (see Figure 12).
Note that when using one-shot mode, ensure that the refresh
rate is appropriate to the application being used.

ADT7420
SHUTDOWN
FAULT QUEUE
The ADT7420 can be placed in shutdown mode by writing 1
to Bit 5 and 1 to Bit 6 of the configuration register (Register
Address 0x03), in which case the entire IC is shut down and
no further conversions are initiated until the ADT7420 is
taken out of shutdown mode. The ADT7420 can be taken
out of shutdown mode by writing 0 to Bit 5 and 0 to Bit 6 in
the configuration register (Register Address 0x03). The
ADT7420 typically takes 1 ms (with a 0.1 µF decoupling
capacitor) to come out of shutdown mode. The conversion
result from the last conversion prior to shutdown can still be
read from the ADT7420 even when it is in shutdown mode.
When the part is taken out of shutdown mode, the internal
clock is started and a conversion is initiated.
Bit 0 and Bit 1 of the configuration register (Register Address
0x03) are used to set up a fault queue. The queue can facilitate up
to four fault events to prevent false tripping of the INT and CT pins
when the ADT7420 is used in a noisy temperature environment.
The number of faults set in the queue must occur consecutively
to set the INT and CT outputs. For example, if the number of
faults set in the queue is four, then four consecutive temperature
conversions must occur with each result exceeding a temperature

activated. If two consecutive temperature conversions exceed a
temperature limit and the third conversion does not, the fault

Preliminary Technical Data
TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
TEMPERATURE CONVERSION FORMULAS
One LSB of the ADC corresponds to 0.0625°C in 13-bit mode
or 0.0078°C in 16-bit mode. The ADC can theoretically
measure a temperature range of 255°C, but the ADT7420 is
guaranteed to measure a low value temperature limit of −40°C
to a high value temperature limit of +150°C. The temperature
measurement result is stored in the 16-bit temperature value
register and is compared with the high temperature limits
stored in the TCRIT setpoint register and the THIGH setpoint
register. It is also compared with the low temperature limit
stored in the TLOW setpoint register.
16-Bit Temperature Data Format
Positive Temperature = ADC Code (dec)/128
Temperature data in the temperature value register, the TCRIT
setpoint register, the THIGH setpoint register, and the TLOW
setpoint register are represented by a 13-bit twos complement
word. The MSB is the temperature sign bit. The three LSBs, Bit 0
to Bit 2, on power-up, are not part of the temperature conversion result and are flag bits for TCRIT, THIGH, and TLOW. Table 5
shows the 13-bit temperature data format without Bit 0 to Bit 2.
The number of bits in the temperature data-word can be extended
to 16 bits, twos complement, by setting Bit 7 to 1 in the configuration register (Register Address 0x03). When using a 16-bit
temperature data value, Bit 0 to Bit 2 are not used as flag bits
and are, instead, the LSB bits of the temperature value. The
power-on default setting has a 13-bit temperature data value.
Negative Temperature = (ADC Code (dec) – 65,536)/128
where ADC Code uses all 16 bits of the data byte, including the
sign bit.
Negative Temperature = (ADC Code (dec) – 32,768)/128
where Bit 15 (sign bit) is removed from the ADC code.
13-Bit Temperature Data Format
Positive Temperature = ADC Code (dec)/16
Negative Temperature = (ADC Code (dec) − 8192)/16
where ADC Code uses the first 13 MSBs of the data byte,
including the sign bit.
Negative Temperature = (ADC Code (dec) – 4096)/16
where Bit 15 (sign bit) is removed from the ADC code.
10-Bit Temperature Data Format
Positive Temperature = ADC Code (dec)/2
Negative Temperature = (ADC Code (dec) − 1024)/2
where ADC Code uses all 10 bits of the data byte, including the
sign bit.
Negative Temperature = (ADC Code (dec) − 512)/2
Reading back the temperature from the temperature value register
requires a 2-byte read. Designers that use a 9-bit temperature
data format can still use the ADT7420 by ignoring the last four
LSBs of the 13-bit temperature value. These four LSBs are Bit 6
to Bit 3 in Table 5.
where Bit 9 (sign bit) is removed from the ADC code.

This register is always the first register written to during a write
to the ADT7420. It should be set to the address of the register
to which the write or read transaction is intended. Table 7
shows the register address of each register on the ADT7420.
The default value of the address pointer register is 0x00.
Nine temperature registers
A status register
An ID register
A configuration register
An address pointer register
A software reset
All registers are eight bits wide. The temperature value registers,
the status register, and the ID register are read-only. The software
reset is a write-only register. On power-up, the address pointer
register is loaded with 0x00 and points to the temperature value
register MSB.

TEMPERATURE VALUE REGISTERS
The temperature value most significant byte (MSB) and temperature value least significant byte (LSB) registers store the
temperature measured by the internal temperature sensor.
The temperature is stored in twos complement format with
the MSB being the temperature sign bit. When reading from
these registers, the eight MSBs (Bit 7 to Bit 15) are read first
from Register Address 0x00 and then the eight LSBs (Bit 0 to
Bit 7) are read from Register Address 0x01. Only the temperature value most significant byte (Register Address 0x00) needs to
be loaded into the address pointer register because the address
pointer autoincrements to the temperature value least significant byte address (Register Address 0x01).
Bit 0 to Bit 2 are event alarm flags for TCRIT, THIGH, and TLOW. When
the ADC is configured to convert the temperature to a 16-bit
digital value, then Bit 0 to Bit 2 are no longer used as flag bits
and are instead used as the LSB bits for the extended digital value.

STATUS REGISTER
This 8-bit read-only register reflects the status of the overtemperature and undertemperature interrupts that can cause the CT and
INT pins to go active. It also reflects the status of a temperature
conversion operation. The interrupt flags in this register are
reset by a read operation to the status register and/or when
the temperature value returns within the temperature limits,
including hysterisis. The RDY bit is reset after a read from the
temperature value register. In one-shot and 1 SPS modes, the
RDY bit is reset after a write to the operation mode bits.
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
This 8-bit read/write register stores various configuration modes
for the ADT7420, including shutdown, overtemperature and
undertemperature interrupts, one-shot, continuous conversion,
interrupt pins polarity, and overtemperature fault queues.

Description
These two bits set the number of undertemperature/overtemperature faults that can occur before
setting the INT and CT pins. This helps to avoid false triggering due to temperature noise.
00 = 1 fault (default).
01 = 2 faults.
10 = 3 faults.
11 = 4 faults.
This bit selects the output polarity of the CT pin.
0 = active low.
1 = active high.
This bit selects the output polarity of the INT pin.
0 = active low.
1 = active high.
This bit selects between comparator mode and interrupt mode.
0 = interrupt mode
1 = comparator mode
These two bits set the operational mode for the ADT7420.
00 = continuous conversion (default). When one conversion is finished, the ADT7420 starts
another.
01 = one shot. Conversion time is typically 240 ms.
10 = 1 SPS mode. Conversion time is typically 60 ms. This operational mode reduces the average
current consumption.
11 = shutdown. All circuitry except interface circuitry is powered down.
This bit sets up the resolution of the ADC when converting.
0 = 13-bit resolution. Sign bit + 12 bits gives a temperature resolution of 0.0625°C.
1 = 16-bit resolution. Sign bit + 15 bits gives a temperature resolution of 0.0078°C.

ADT7420
THIGH SETPOINT REGISTERS
The THIGH setpoint MSB and THIGH setpoint LSB registers store
the overtemperature limit value. An overtemperature event
occurs when the temperature value stored in the temperature
value register exceeds the value stored in this register. The INT
pin is activated if an overtemperature event occurs. The temperature is stored in twos complement format with the MSB being
the temperature sign bit.
When reading from this register, the eight MSBs (Bit 15 to Bit 8)
are read first from Register Address 0x04 and then the eight
LSBs (Bit 7 to Bit 0) are read from Register Address 0x05. Only
Register Address 0x04 (THIGH setpoint MSB) needs to be loaded
into the address pointer register because the address pointer
autoincrements to Register Address 0x05 (THIGH setpoint LSB).
The default setting for the THIGH setpoint is 64°C.
TLOW SETPOINT REGISTERS
The TLOW setpoint MSB and TLOW setpoint LSB registers store
the undertemperature limit value. An undertemperature event
occurs when the temperature value stored in the temperature
value register is less than the value stored in this register. The
INT pin is activated if an undertemperature event occurs. The
temperature is stored in twos complement format with the MSB
being the temperature sign bit.
When reading from this register, the eight MSBs (Bit 15 to
Bit 8) are read first from Register Address 0x06 and then the
eight LSBs (Bit 7 to Bit 0) are read from Register Address 0x07.
Only Register Address 0x06 (TLOW setpoint MSB) needs to be
loaded into the address pointer register as the address pointer
autoincrements to Register Address 0x07 (TLOW setpoint LSB).
The default setting for the TLOW setpoint is 10°C.
TCRIT SETPOINT REGISTERS
The TCRIT setpoint MSB and TCRIT setpoint LSB registers store
the critical overtemperature limit value. A critical overtemperature event occurs when the temperature value stored in the
temperature value register exceeds the value stored in this
register. The CT pin is activated if a critical overtemperature
event occurs. The temperature is stored in twos complement
format with the MSB being the temperature sign bit.
When reading from this register, the eight MSBs (Bit 15 to Bit 8)
are read first from Register Address 0x08 and then the eight
LSBs (Bit 7 to Bit 0) are read from Register Address 0x09. Only
Register Address 0x08 (TCRIT setpoint MSB) needs to be loaded
into the address pointer register because the address pointer
autoincrements to Register Address 0x09 (TCRIT setpoint LSB).
The default setting for the TCRIT limit is 147°C.

THYST SETPOINT REGISTER
ID REGISTER
This 8-bit read/write register stores the temperature hysteresis
value for the THIGH, TLOW, and TCRIT temperature limits. The
temperature hysteresis value is stored in straight binary format
using four LSBs. Increments are possible in steps of 1°C from
0°C to 15°C. The value in this register is subtracted from the
THIGH and TCRIT values and added to the TLOW value to implement hysteresis.
This 8-bit read-only register stores the manufacturer ID in Bit 3

and is under the control of a master device.

Figure 13 shows a typical I2C interface connection.
SERIAL BUS ADDRESS
Like all I2C-compatible devices, the ADT7420 has a 7-bit serial
address. The five MSBs of this address for the ADT7420 are set
to 10010. Pin A1 and Pin A0 set the two LSBs. These pins can
be configured two ways, low and high, to give four different
address options. Table 20 shows the different bus address options
available. The recommended pull-up resistor value on the SDA
and SCL lines is 10 kΩ.

The serial bus protocol operates as follows:
1.
3.
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line, SDA, while the serial clock line, SCL, remains
high. This indicates that an address/data stream is going
to 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 read/
write (R/W) bit. The R/W bit determines whether data is
written to, or read from, the slave device.
The peripheral with the address corresponding 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 then
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
writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the master
reads from the slave device.
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit
from the receiver of data. 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, which can be interpreted as a stop signal.
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions are established. In write mode, the master pulls the
data line high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a stop
condition. In read mode, the master device pulls the data
line high during the low period before the ninth clock
pulse. This is known as a no acknowledge. The master
takes 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.
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.
Rev. PrA | Page 17 of ADT7420
Preliminary Technical Data
WRITING DATA
the same write transaction. Writing two bytes of data to these
registers requires the serial bus address, the data register address
of the MSB register written to the address pointer register,
followed by the two data bytes written to the selected data
register. This is shown in Figure 15.
It is possible to write either a single byte of data or two bytes to
the ADT7420, depending on which registers are to be written.
Writing a single byte of data requires the serial bus address, the
data register address written to the address pointer register,
followed by the data byte written to the selected data register.
This is shown in Figure 14.
If more than the required number of data bytes is written to a
register, the register ignores these extra data bytes. To write to
a different register, a start or repeated start is required.
For the THIGH setpoint, TLOW setpoint, and TCRIT setpoint registers,
it is possible to write to both the MSB and the LSB registers in

READING DATA
RESET
Reading data from the ADT7420 is done in a single data byte
operation for the configuration register, the status register,
the THYST register, and the ID register. A two data byte read
operation is needed for the temperature value register, THIGH
setpoint register, TLOW setpoint register, and the TCRIT setpoint
register. Reading back the contents of an 8-bit register similar
to the configuration register is shown in Figure 16. Reading
back the contents of the temperature value register is shown
in Figure 17.
To reset the ADT7420 without having to reset the entire I2C bus,
an explicit reset command is provided. This uses a particular
address pointer word as a command word to reset the part and
upload all default settings. The ADT7420 does not respond to
the I2C bus commands (do not acknowledge) during the default
values upload for approximately 200 µs.
The reset command address word is 0x2F.
GENERAL CALL
When a master issues a slave address consisting of seven 0s with
the eighth bit (R/W bit) set to 0, this is known as the general call
address. The general call address is for addressing every device
connected to the I2C bus. The ADT7420 acknowledges this address
and reads in the following data byte.
Reading back from any register first requires a single-byte write
operation to the address pointer register to set up the address of
the register that is going to be read from. In the case of reading
back from the 2-byte registers, the address pointer automatically
increments from the MSB register address to the LSB register
address.
If the second byte is 0x06, the ADT7420 is reset, completely
uploading all default values. The ADT7420 does not respond
to the I2C bus commands (do not acknowledge) while the
default values upload for approximately 200 µs.
To read from another register, execute another write to the
address pointer register to set up the relevant register address.
Thus, block reads are not possible, that is, there is no I2C address
pointer autoincrement except when reading back from a 16-bit
register. If the address pointer register has previously been set
up with the address of the register that is going to receive a read
command, there is no need to repeat a write operation to set up
the register address again.

INT AND CT OUTPUTS
Comparator Mode
The INT and CT pins are open-drain outputs, and both pins
require a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to VDD.
In comparator mode, the INT pin returns to its inactive status
when the temperature drops below the THIGH − THYST limit or
rises above the TLOW + THYST limit.
UNDERTEMPERATURE AND OVERTEMPERATURE
DETECTION
Putting the ADT7420 into shutdown mode does not reset the
INT state in comparator mode.
The INT and CT pins have two undertemperature/overtemperature
modes: comparator mode and interrupt mode. The interrupt
mode is the default power-up overtemperature mode. The INT
output pin becomes active when the temperature is greater than
the temperature stored in the THIGH setpoint register or less than
the temperature stored in the TLOW setpoint register. How this pin
reacts after this event depends on the overtemperature mode
selected.
Interrupt Mode
In interrupt mode, the INT pin goes inactive when any ADT7420
register is read. Once the INT pin is reset, it goes active again
only when the temperature is greater than the temperature stored
in the THIGH setpoint register or less than the temperature stored
in the TLOW setpoint register.
Figure 18 illustrates the comparator and interrupt modes for
events exceeding the THIGH limit with both pin polarity settings.
Figure 19 illustrates the comparator and interrupt modes for
events exceeding the TLOW limit with both pin polarity settings.
Placing the ADT7420 into shutdown mode resets the INT pin
in the interrupt mode.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
THERMAL RESPONSE TIME
TEMPERATURE MONITORING
The time required for a temperature sensor to settle to a specified
accuracy is a function of the thermal mass of the sensor and the
thermal conductivity between the sensor and the object being
sensed. Thermal mass is often considered equivalent to capacitance. Thermal conductivity is commonly specified using the
symbol, Q, and can be thought of as thermal resistance. It is
commonly specified in units of degrees per watt of power
transferred across the thermal joint. The time required for
the part to settle to the desired accuracy is dependent on the
thermal contact established in a particular application and the
equivalent power of the heat source. In most applications, it is
best to determine the settling time empirically.
The ADT7420 is ideal for monitoring the thermal environment
within electronic equipment. For example, the surface-mounted
package accurately reflects the exact thermal conditions that
affect nearby integrated circuits.
SUPPLY DECOUPLING
Decouple the ADT7420 with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor
between VDD and GND. This is particularly important when
the ADT7420 is mounted remotely from the power supply.
Precision analog products, such as the ADT7420, require a
well-filtered power source. Because the ADT7420 operates
from a single supply, it may seem convenient to tap into the
digital logic power supply. Unfortunately, the logic supply is
often a switch-mode design, which generates noise in the
20 kHz to 1 MHz range. In addition, fast logic gates can
generate glitches hundreds of millivolts in amplitude due
to wiring resistance and inductance.
The ADT7420 measures and converts the temperature at the
surface of its own semiconductor chip. When the ADT7420 is
used to measure the temperature of a nearby heat source, the
thermal impedance between the heat source and the ADT7420
must be considered.
When the thermal impedance is determined, the temperature
of the heat source can be inferred from the ADT7420 output.
As much as 60% of the heat transferred from the heat source to
the thermal sensor on the ADT7420 die is discharged via the
copper tracks, the package pins, and the bond pads. Of the
pins on the ADT7420, the GND pin transfers most of the heat.
Therefore, to measure the temperature of a heat source, it is
recommended that the thermal resistance between the GND pin
of the ADT7420 and the GND of the heat source be reduced as
much as possible.
If possible, the ADT7420 should be powered directly from the
system power supply. This arrangement, shown in Figure 20,
isolates the analog section from the logic switching transients.
Even if a separate power supply trace is not available, generous
supply bypassing reduces supply-line induced errors. Local
supply bypassing consisting of a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor
is critical for the temperature accuracy specifications to be
achieved. This decoupling capacitor must be placed as close
as possible to the VDD pin of the ADT7420.
