Precision SMBus-Compatible Remote/Local
Temperature Sensors with Overtemperature Alarms
The MAX6648/MAX6692 are precise, two-channel digital temperature sensors. They accurately measure the
temperature of their own die and a remote PN junction,
and report the temperature in digital form using a 2-wire
serial interface. The remote PN junction is typically the
emitter-base junction of a common-collector PNP on a
CPU, FPGA, or ASIC.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBus)™ write byte, read byte,
send byte, and receive byte commands to read the
temperature data and to program the alarm thresholds.
To enhance system reliability, the MAX6648/MAX6692
include an SMBus timeout. A fault queue prevents the
ALERT and OVERT outputs from setting until a fault has
been detected one, two, or three consecutive times
(programmable).
The MAX6648/MAX6692 provide two system alarms:
ALERT and OVERT. ALERT asserts when any of four temperature conditions are violated: local overtemperature,
remote overtemperature, local undertemperature, or
remote undertemperature. OVERT asserts when the temperature rises above the value in either of the two OVERT
limit registers. The OVERT output can be used to activate
a cooling fan, or to trigger a system shutdown.
Measurements can be done autonomously, with the
conversion rate programmed by the user, or in a singleshot mode. The adjustable conversion rate allows the
user to optimize supply current and temperature
update rate to match system needs.
Remote accuracy is ±0.8°C maximum error between
+25°C and +125°C with no calibration needed. The
MAX6648/MAX6692 operate from -55°C to +125°C, and
measure temperatures between 0°C and +125°C. The
MAX6648 is available in an 8-pin µMAX® package, and the
MAX6692 is available in 8-pin µMAX and SO packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX6648/MAX6692 are temperature sensors
designed to work in conjunction with a microprocessor
or other intelligence in thermostatic, process-control, or
monitoring applications. Communication with the
MAX6648/MAX6692 occurs through the SMBus-compatible serial interface and dedicated alert pins. ALERT
asserts if the measured local or remote temperature is
greater than the software-programmed ALERT high
limit or less than the ALERT low limit. ALERT also
asserts if the remote-sensing diode pins are shorted or
unconnected. The overtemperature alarm, OVERT,
asserts if the software-programmed OVERT limit is
exceeded. OVERT can be connected to fans, a system
shutdown, a clock throttle control, or other thermalmanagement circuitry.
The MAX6648/MAX6692 convert temperatures to digital
data either at a programmed rate or in single conversions. Temperature data is represented as 10 bits plus
sign, with the LSB equal to 0.125°C. The “main” temperature data registers (at addresses 00h and 01h) are 8-bit
registers that represent the data as 7 bits with the final
MSB indicating the diode fault status (Table 1). The
remaining 3 bits of temperature data are available in the
“extended” registers at addresses 11h and 10h (Table 2).
ADC and Multiplexer
The averaging ADC integrates over a 60ms period
(each channel, typically), with excellent noise rejection.
The multiplexer automatically steers bias currents
through the remote and local diodes. The ADC and
associated circuitry measure each diode’s forward voltage and compute the temperature based on this voltage. Both channels are automatically converted once
the conversion process has started, either in free-running or single-shot mode. If one of the two channels is
not used, the device still performs both measurements,
and the user can ignore the results of the unused chan-

Pin Description
MAX6648/MAX6692
Precision SMBus-Compatible Remote/Local
Temperature Sensors with Overtemperature Alarms
nel. If the remote-diode channel is unused, connect
DXP to DXN rather than leaving the pins open.
The DXN input is biased to one VBE above ground by
an internal diode to prepare the ADC inputs for a differential measurement. The worst-case DXP-DXN differential input voltage range is 0.25V to 0.95V. Excess
resistance in series with the remote diode causes
+0.5°C (typ) error per ohm.
A/D Conversion Sequence
A conversion sequence consists of a local temperature
measurement and a remote temperature measurement.
Each time a conversion begins, whether initiated automatically in the free-running autonomous mode (RUN = 0)
or by writing a one-shot command, both channels are
converted, and the results of both measurements are
available after the end of a conversion. A BUSY status bit
in the status byte indicates that the device is performing a
new conversion. The results of the previous conversion
are always available, even if the ADC is busy.
Low-Power Standby Mode
Standby mode reduces the supply current to less than
10µA by disabling the ADC and timing circuitry. Enter
standby mode by setting the RUN bit to 1 in the configuration byte register (Table 6). All data is retained in memory, and the SMBus interface is active and listening for
SMBus commands. Standby mode is not a shutdown
mode. With activity on the SMBus, the device draws more
supply current (see Typical Operating Characteristics). In
standby mode, the MAX6648/MAX6692 can be forced to
perform A/D conversions through the one-shot command,
regardless of the RUN bit status.
If a standby command is received while a conversion is
in progress, the conversion cycle is truncated, and the
data from that conversion is not latched into a temperature register. The previous data is not changed and
remains available.
Supply-current drain during the 125ms conversion period is 500µA (typ). Slowing down the conversion rate
reduces the average supply current (see Typical
Operating Characteristics). Between conversions, the
conversion rate timer consumes about 25µA of supply
current. In standby mode, supply current drops to
about 3µA.
SMBus Digital Interface
From a software perspective, the MAX6648/MAX6692
appear as a set of byte-wide registers that contain temperature data, alarm threshold values, and control bits.
A standard SMBus-compatible 2-wire serial interface is
used to read temperature data and write control bits
and alarm threshold data. These devices respond to the
same SMBus slave address for access to all functions.
6
The MAX6648/MAX6692 employ four standard SMBus
protocols: write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive
byte (Figures 1, 2, and 3). The shorter receive byte protocol allows quicker transfers, provided that the correct
data register was previously selected by a read byte
instruction. Use caution when using the shorter protocols
in multimaster systems, as a second master could overwrite the command byte without informing the first master.
Temperature data can be read from the read internal
temperature (00h) and read external temperature (01h)
registers. The temperature data format for these registers is 7 bits plus 1 bit, indicating the diode fault status
for each channel, with the LSB representing 1°C (Table
1). The MSB is transmitted first.
An additional 3 bits can be read from the read external
extended temperature register (10h), which extends the
data to 10 bits plus sign and the resolution to 0.125°C
per LSB (Table 2). An additional 3 bits can be read
from the read internal extended temperature register
(11h), which extends the data to 10 bits (plus 1 bit indicating the diode fault status) and the resolution to
0.125°C per LSB (Table 2).
When a conversion is complete, the main temperature
register and the extended temperature register are
updated simultaneously. Ensure that no conversions
are completed between reading the main register and
the extended register, so that both registers contain the
result of the same conversion.
To ensure valid extended data, read extended resolution temperature data using one of the following
approaches:
1) Put the MAX6648/MAX6692 into standby mode by
setting bit 6 of the configuration register to 1. Initiate
a one-shot conversion using command byte 0Fh.
When this conversion is complete, read the contents
of the temperature data registers.

2) If the MAX6648/MAX6692 are in run mode, read the
status byte. If the BUSY bit indicates that a conversion
is in progress, wait until the conversion is complete
(BUSY bit set to zero) before reading the temperature
data. Following a conversion completion, immediately
read the contents of the temperature data registers. If
no conversion is in progress, the data can be read
within a few microseconds, which is a sufficiently short
period of time to ensure that a new conversion cannot
be completed until after the data has been read.

Alarm Threshold Registers
Four registers store ALERT threshold values—one hightemperature (THIGH) and one low-temperature (TLOW)
register each for the local and remote channels. If
either measured temperature equals or exceeds the
corresponding ALERT threshold value, the ALERT interrupt asserts.
The power-on-reset (POR) state of both ALERT THIGH
registers is full scale (0101 0101, or +85°C). The POR
state of both TLOW registers is 0000 0000, or 0°C.
Two additional registers store remote and local alarm
threshold data corresponding to the OVERT output. The
values stored in these registers are high-temperature
thresholds. If either of the measured temperatures
equals or exceeds the corresponding alarm threshold
value, an OVERT output asserts. The POR state of the
OVERT threshold is 0110 1110 or +110°C for the
MAX6648, and 0101 0101 or +85°C for the MAX6692.
Diode Fault Alarm
A continuity fault detector at DXP detects an open circuit between DXP and DXN, or a DXP short to VCC,
GND, or DXN. If an open or short circuit exists, the
external temperature register is loaded with 1000 0000.
If the fault is an open-circuit fault bit 2 (OPEN) of the
status byte, it is set to 1 and the ALERT condition is
activated at the end of the conversion. Immediately
after POR, the status register indicates that no fault is
present. If a fault is present upon power-up, the fault is
not indicated until the end of the first conversion.
ALERT Interrupts
The ALERT interrupt occurs when the internal or external temperature reading exceeds a high- or low-temperature limit (user programmed) or when the remote
diode is disconnected (for continuity fault detection).
8
The ALERT interrupt output signal is latched and can
be cleared only by either reading the status register or
by successfully responding to an alert response
address. In both cases, the alert is cleared only if the
fault condition no longer exists. Asserting ALERT does
not halt automatic conversion. The ALERT output pin is
open drain, allowing multiple devices to share a common interrupt line.
The MAX6648/MAX6692 respond to the SMBus alert
response address, an interrupt pointer return-address
feature (see the Alert Response Address section). Prior
to taking corrective action, always check to ensure that
an interrupt is valid by reading the current temperature.
Fault Queue Register
In some systems, it may be desirable to ignore a single
temperature measurement that falls outside the ALERT
limits. Bits 2 and 3 of the fault queue register (address
22h) determine the number of consecutive temperature
faults necessary to set ALERT (see Tables 3 and 4).
Alert Response Address
The SMBus alert response interrupt pointer provides
quick fault identification for simple slave devices that
lack the complex, expensive logic needed to be a bus
master. Upon receiving an ALERT interrupt signal, the
host master can broadcast a receive byte transmission
to the alert response slave address (0001 100).
Following such a broadcast, any slave device that generated an interrupt attempts to identify itself by putting
its own address on the bus.
The alert response can activate several different slave
devices simultaneously, similar to the I2C general call. If
more than one slave attempts to respond, bus arbitration
rules apply, and the device with the lower address
code wins. The losing device does not generate an

acknowledge and continues to hold the ALERT line low
until cleared. (The conditions for clearing an ALERT
vary, depending on the type of slave device).
Successful completion of the read alert response protocol clears the interrupt latch, provided the condition
that caused the alert no longer exists.
OVERT Overtemperature Alarm/Warning
Outputs
OVERT asserts when the temperature rises to a value
stored in one of the OVERT limit registers (19h, 20h). It
deasserts when the temperature drops below the
stored limit, minus hysteresis. OVERT can be used to
activate a cooling fan, send a warning, invoke clock
throttling, or trigger a system shutdown to prevent component damage.
Command Byte Functions
The 8-bit command byte register (Table 5) is the master
index that points to the various other registers within the
MAX6648/MAX6692. The register’s POR state is 0000
0000, so a receive byte transmission (a protocol that
lacks the command byte) that occurs immediately after
POR, returns the current local temperature data.
The MAX6648/MAX6692 incorporate collision avoidance so that completely asynchronous operation is
allowed between SMBus operations and temperature
conversions.
One-Shot
The one-shot command immediately forces a new conversion cycle to begin. If the one-shot command is
received while the MAX6648/MAX6692 are in standby
mode (RUN bit = 1), a new conversion begins, after
which the device returns to standby mode. If a one-shot

conversion is in progress when a one-shot command is
received, the command is ignored. If a one-shot command is received in autonomous mode (RUN bit = 0)
between conversions, a new conversion begins, the
conversion rate timer is reset, and the next automatic
conversion takes place after a full delay elapses.
Configuration Byte Functions
The configuration byte register (Table 6) is a read-write
register with several functions. Bit 7 is used to mask (disable) interrupts. Bit 6 puts the MAX6648/MAX6692 into
standby mode (STOP) or autonomous (RUN) mode.
Status Byte Functions
The status byte register (Table 7) indicates which (if
any) temperature thresholds have been exceeded. This
byte also indicates whether the ADC is converting and
whether there is an open-circuit fault detected in the
external sense junction. After POR, the normal state of
all flag bits is zero, assuming no alarm conditions are
present. The status byte is cleared by any successful
read of the status byte, after a conversion is complete
and the fault no longer exists. Note that the ALERT
interrupt latch is not automatically cleared when the
status flag bit indicating the ALERT is cleared. The fault
condition must be eliminated before the ALERT output
can be cleared.
When autoconverting, if the THIGH and TLOW limits are
close together, it is possible for both high-temp and
low-temp status bits to be set, depending on the
amount of time between status read operations (especially when converting at the fastest rate). In these circumstances, it is best not to rely on the status bits to
indicate reversals in long-term temperature changes.
Instead use a current temperature reading to establish
the trend direction.
Conversion Rate Byte
The conversion rate register (Table 8) programs the
time interval between conversions in free-running
autonomous mode (RUN = 0). This variable rate control
can be used to reduce the supply current in portableequipment applications. The conversion rate byte’s
POR state is 07h or 4Hz. The MAX6648/MAX6692 look

Applications Information
Remote-Diode Selection
The MAX6648/MAX6692 can directly measure the die
temperature of CPUs and other ICs that have on-board
temperature-sensing diodes (see Typical Operating
Circuit ), or they can measure the temperature of a discrete diode-connected transistor.
Effect of Ideality Factor
The accuracy of the remote temperature measurements
depends on the ideality factor (n) of the remote “diode”

Temperature Sensors with Overtemperature Alarms
(actually a transistor). The MAX6648/MAX6692 (not the
MAX6648Y/MAX6692Y) are optimized for n = 1.008,
which is the typical value for the Intel® Pentium® III and
the AMD Athlon MP model 6. If a sense transistor with a
different ideality factor is used, the output data is different. Fortunately, the difference is predictable.
Assume a remote-diode sensor designed for a nominal
ideality factor nNOMINAL is used to measure the temperature of a diode with a different ideality factor n1.
The measured temperature TM can be corrected using:
⎛
⎞
n1
TM = TACTUAL ⎜
⎟
⎝ nNOMINAL ⎠
where temperature is measured in Kelvin.
As mentioned above, the nominal ideality factor of the
MAX6648/MAX6692 is 1.008. As an example, assume
you want to use the MAX6648/MAX6692 with a CPU
that has an ideality factor of 1.002.
If the diode has no series resistance, the measured
data is related to the real temperature as follows:
⎛n
⎞
⎛ 1.008 ⎞
TACTUAL = TM ⎜ NOMINAL ⎟ = TM ⎜
⎟ = TM (1.00599)

⎝
⎠
resistance of 3Ω. The series resistance contributes an
offset of:
3Ω × 0.453
°C
= 1.36°C
Ω
The effects of the ideality factor and series resistance
are additive. If the diode has an ideality factor of 1.002
and series resistance of 3Ω, the total offset can be calculated by adding error due to series resistance with
error due to ideality factor:
1.36°C - 2.13°C = -0.77°C
for a diode temperature of +85°C.
In this example, the effect of the series resistance and
the ideality factor partially cancel each other.
For best accuracy, the discrete transistor should be a
small-signal device with its collector and base connected together. Table 9 lists examples of discrete transistors that are appropriate for use with the MAX6648/
MAX6692.

For a real temperature of +85°C (358.15 K), the measured temperature is +82.91°C (356.02 K), which is an
error of -2.13°C.
Effect of Series Resistance
Series resistance in a sense diode contributes additional errors. For nominal diode currents of 10µA and
100µA, change in the measured voltage is:
ΔVM = RS (100μA − 10μA) = 90μA × RS

Note: Transistors must be diode connected (base shorted to
collector).
The transistor must be a small-signal type with a relatively high forward voltage; otherwise, the A/D input
voltage range can be violated. The forward voltage at
the highest expected temperature must be greater than
0.25V at 10µA, and at the lowest expected temperature, the forward voltage must be less than 0.95V at
100µA. Large power transistors must not be used.
Also, ensure that the base resistance is less than 100Ω.
Tight specifications for forward current gain (50 < ß
<150, for example) indicate that the manufacturer has
good process controls and that the devices have consistent VBE characteristics.

ADC Noise Filtering
The integrating ADC used has good noise rejection for
low-frequency signals such as 60Hz/120Hz power-supply hum. In noisy environments, high-frequency noise
reduction is needed for high-accuracy remote measurements. The noise can be reduced with careful PCB
layout and proper external noise filtering.
High-frequency EMI is best filtered at DXP and DXN with
an external 2200pF capacitor. Larger capacitor values
can be used for added filtering, but do not exceed
3300pF because larger values can introduce errors due
to the rise time of the switched current source.
PCB Layout
Follow these guidelines to reduce the measurement
error of the temperature sensors:
1) Place the MAX6648/MAX6692 as close as is practical to the remote diode. In noisy environments, such
as a computer motherboard, this distance can be
4in to 8in (typ). This length can be increased if the
worst noise sources are avoided. Noise sources
include CRTs, clock generators, memory buses, and
ISA/PCI buses.
2) Do not route the DXP-DXN lines next to the deflection coils of a CRT. Also, do not route the traces
across fast digital signals, which can easily introduce 30°C error, even with good filtering.
3) Route the DXP and DXN traces in parallel and in
close proximity to each other, away from any higher
voltage traces, such as 12V DC. Leakage currents
from PCB contamination must be dealt with carefully
since a 20MΩ leakage path from DXP to ground
causes about 1°C error. If high-voltage traces are
unavoidable, connect guard traces to GND on either
side of the DXP-DXN traces (Figure 4).
4) Route through as few vias and crossunders as possible to minimize copper/solder thermocouple
effects.
5) When introducing a thermocouple, make sure that
both the DXP and the DXN paths have matching
thermocouples. A copper-solder thermocouple

Figure 4. Recommended DXP-DXN PC Traces
exhibits 3µV/°C, and takes about 200µV of voltage
error at DXP-DXN to cause a 1°C measurement
error. Adding a few thermocouples causes a negligible error.
6) Use wide traces. Narrow traces are more inductive
and tend to pick up radiated noise. The 10mil widths
and spacing recommended in Figure 4 are not
absolutely necessary, as they offer only a minor
improvement in leakage and noise over narrow
traces. Use wider traces when practical.
7) Add a 200Ω resistor in series with VCC for best noise
filtering (see Typical Operating Circuit ).
8) Copper cannot be used as an EMI shield; only ferrous materials such as steel work well. Placing a
copper ground plane between the DXP-DXN traces
and traces carrying high-frequency noise signals
does not help reduce EMI.
Twisted-Pair and Shielded Cables
Use a twisted-pair cable to connect the remote sensor
for remote-sensor distance longer than 8in, or in very
noisy environments. Twisted-pair cable lengths can be
between 6ft and 12ft before noise introduces excessive
errors. For longer distances, the best solution is a
shielded twisted pair like that used for audio microphones. For example, Belden 8451 works well for distances up to 100ft in a noisy environment. At the
device, connect the twisted pair to DXP and DXN and
the shield to GND. Leave the shield unconnected at the
remote sensor.
For very long cable runs, the cable’s parasitic capacitance often provides noise filtering, so the 2200pF
capacitor can often be removed or reduced in value.
Cable resistance also affects remote-sensor accuracy.
For every 1Ω of series resistance, the error is approximately 0.5°C.

be low enough to alter the effective ideality factor.
Good results can be obtained if the process is consistent and well behaved. For example, the curve shown
in the Remote Temperature Error vs. 45nm Remote
Diode Temperature graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section shows the temperature measurement error of the MAX6648/MAX6692 when used
with a typical 45nm CPU thermal diode. Note that the
error is effectively a simple +4°C offset.

Thermal Mass and Self-Heating
When sensing local temperature, these devices are
intended to measure the temperature of the PCB to
which they are soldered. The leads provide a good thermal path between the PCB traces and the die. Thermal
conductivity between the die and the ambient air is poor
by comparison, making air temperature measurements
impractical. Because the thermal mass of the PCB is far
greater than that of the MAX6648/MAX6692, the devices
follow temperature changes on the PCB with little or no
perceivable delay.
When measuring the temperature of a CPU or other IC
with an on-chip sense junction, thermal mass has virtually no effect; the measured temperature of the junction
tracks the actual temperature within a conversion cycle.
When measuring temperature with discrete remote sensors, smaller packages, such as SOT23s, yield the best
thermal response times. Take care to account for thermal gradients between the heat source and the sensor,
14
and ensure that stray air currents across the sensor
package do not interfere with measurement accuracy.
Self-heating does not significantly affect measurement
accuracy. Remote-sensor self-heating due to the diode
current source is negligible. For the local diode, the
worst-case error occurs when autoconverting at the
fastest rate and simultaneously sinking maximum current
at the ALERT output. For example, with VCC = 5.0V, at a
4Hz conversion rate and with ALERT sinking 1mA, the
typical power dissipation is:
5.0V x 500µA + 0.4V x 1mA = 2.9mW
θJ-A for the 8-pin µMAX package is about +221°C/W,
so assuming no copper PCB heat sinking, the resulting
temperature rise is:
ΔT = 2.9mW x (+221°C/W) = +0.6409°C
Even under nearly worst-case conditions, it is difficult to
introduce a significant self-heating error.
