The ADM10231 is a 2-channel digital thermometer and
under/over temperature alarm for use in personal computers
and other systems requiring thermal monitoring and management. Optimized for the Pentium® III; the higher accuracy
allows systems designers to safely reduce temperature guard
banding and increase system performance. The device can
measure the temperature of a microprocessor using a diodeconnected PNP transistor, which may be provided on-chip in
the case of the Pentium III or similar processors, or can be a
low-cost, discrete NPN/PNP device such as the 2N3904/2N3906.
A novel measurement technique cancels out the absolute value
of the transistor’s base emitter voltage so that no calibration is
required. The second measurement channel measures the
output of an on-chip temperature sensor to monitor the
temperature of the device and its environment.
The ADM1023 communicates over a 2-wire serial interface
compatible with SMBus standards. Under- and overtemperature
limits can be programmed into the device over the serial bus,
and an
temperature is out of range. This output can be used as an
interrupt, or as an SMBus

ADM1023
THEORY OF OPERATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1023 contains a 2-channel A-to-D converter (ADC)
with special input-signal conditioning to enable operation with
remote and on-chip diode temperature sensors. When the
ADM1023 is operating normally, the ADC operates in a freerunning mode. The analog input multiplexer alternately selects
either the on-chip temperature sensor to measure its local
temperature or the remote temperature sensor. These signals are
digitized by the ADC and the results are stored in the local and
remote temperature value registers. Only the eight most
significant bits (MSBs) of the local temperature value are stored
as an 8-bit binary word. The remote temperature value is stored
as an 11-bit binary word in two registers. The eight MSBs are
stored in the remote temperature value high byte register at
Address 0x01. The three least significant bits (LSBs) are stored,
left justified, in the remote temperature value low byte register
at Address 0x10.
Error sources such as PCB track resistance and clock noise can
introduce offset errors into measurements on the remote
channel. To achieve the specified accuracy on this channel,
these offsets must be removed, and two offset registers are
provided for this purpose at Address 0x11 and Address 0x12.
An offset value may automatically be added to, or subtracted
from, the measurement by writing an 11-bit, twos complement
value to Register 0x11 (high byte) and Register 0x12 (low byte,
left justified).
The offset registers default to zero at power-up and will have no
effect if nothing is written to them.
The measurement results are compared with local and remote,
high and low temperature limits, stored in six on-chip limit
registers. As with the measured value, the local temperature
limits are stored as 8-bit values and the remote temperature
limits as 11-bit values. Out-of-limit comparisons generate flags
that are stored in the status register, and one or more out-of-
ALERT
limit results cause the
output to pull low.
Registers can be programmed, and the device controlled and
configured, via the serial system management bus (SMBus).
The contents of any register can also be read back via the
SMBus.
Control and configuration functions consist of:
• Switching the device between normal operation and
standby mode.
ALERT
• Masking or enabling the
output.
• Selecting the conversion rate.
On initial power-up, the remote and local temperature values
default to −128°C. The device normally powers up converting,
making a measure of local and remote temperature. These
values are then stored before making a comparison with the
stored limits. However, if the part is powered up in standby
STBY
mode (
pin pulled low), no new values are written to the
register before a comparison is made. As a result, both RLOW
and LLOW are tripped in the status register, thus generating an
ALERT
output. This may be cleared in one of two ways:
•Change both the local and remote lower limits to –128°C
and read the status register (which in turn clears the
ALERT
output).
•Take the part out of standby and read the status register
ALERT
(which in turn clears the
output). This works only
when the measured values are within the limit values.

MEASUREMENT METHOD
A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit the
negative temperature coefficient of a diode, or the base emitter
voltage of a transistor, operating at constant current. Thus, the
temperature may be obtained from a direct measurement of V
where

This technique, however, requires calibration to nullify the
effect of the absolute value of V
, which varies from device to

device.
The technique used in the ADM1023 is to measure the change
when the device is operated at two different collector

currents.
This is given by

q is the charge on the electron (1.6 × 10
Coulombs).
T is the absolute temperature in Kelvins.
N is the ratio of the two collector currents.
n is the ideality factor of the thermal diode (TD).
To me as u re Δ V
, the sensor is switched between operating
BE
currents of I and NI. The resulting waveform is passed through
a low-pass filter to remove noise, then to a chopper-stabilized
amplifier that performs the functions of amplification and
rectification of the waveform to produce a dc voltage
proportional to ΔV
. This voltage is measured by the ADC,
BE
which gives a temperature output in binary format. To further
reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is performed by
averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles. Signal
conditioning and measurement of the internal temperature
sensor is performed in a similar manner.
Figure 14 shows the input signal conditioning used to measure
the output of an external temperature sensor. This figure shows
the external sensor as a substrate PNP transistor, provided for
temperature monitoring on some microprocessors, but it could
equally well be a discrete transistor. If a discrete transistor is
used, the collector will not be grounded and should be linked to
the base. To prevent ground noise from interfering with the
measurement, the more negative terminal of the sensor is not
referenced to ground, but is biased above ground by an internal
diode at the D− input. If the sensor is operating in a noisy
environment, C1 may optionally be added as a noise filter. Its
BE
value is 1000 pF maximum. See the Layout Considerations
section for more information on C1.
SOURCES OF ERRORS ON THERMAL TRANSISTORS
MEASUREMENT METHOD
THE EFFECT OF IDEALITY FACTOR (n)
The effects of ideality factor (n) and beta (β) of the temperature
measured by a thermal transistor are described in this section.
For a thermal transistor implemented on a submicron process,
such as the substrate PNP used on a Pentium III processor, the
temperature errors due to the combined effect of the ideality
factor and beta are shown to be less than 3°C. Equation 2 is
optimized for a substrate PNP transistor (used as a thermal
diode) usually found on CPUs designed on submicron CMOS
processes such as the Pentium III processor. There is a thermal
diode on board each of these processors. The n in Equation 2
represents the ideality factor of this thermal diode. This ideality
factor is a measure of the deviation of the thermal diode from
ideal behavior.
According to Pentium III processor manufacturing specifications,
measured values of n at 100°C are

In Figure 14, the thermal diode is a substrate PNP transistor
where the emitter current is forced into the device. The

were scaled by N as the emitter currents were also scaled by N.
Thus, this assumes that beta (β) of the transistor is constant for

TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
One LSB of the ADC corresponds to 0.125°C, so the ADM1023
can measure from 0°C to 127.875°C. The temperature data
format and extended temperature resolution are shown in
Table 4 and Table 5.
Table 4. Temperature Data Format
(Local Temperature and Remote Temperature High Byte)
The ADM1023 differs from the ADM1021 in that the temperature resolution
of the remote channel is improved from 1°C to 0.125°C, but it cannot
measure temperatures below 0°C. If negative temperature measurement is
required, the ADM1021 should be used.
The results of the local and remote temperature measurements
are stored in the local and remote temperature value registers
and are compared with limits programmed into the local and
remote high and low limit registers.

REGISTER FUNCTIONS
The ADM1023 contains registers that are used to store the
results of remote and local temperature measurements, high
and low temperature limits, and to configure and control the
device. A description of these registers follows, and further
details are given in Table 6 to Table 10. Most of the registers for
the ADM1023 are dual port and have different addresses for
read and write operations. Attempting to write to a read
address, or to read from a write address, produces an invalid
result. Register addresses above 0x14 are reserved for future use
or factory test purposes and should not be written to.
Address Pointer Register
The address pointer register does not have, nor does it require,
an address because it is the register to which the first data byte
of every write operation is automatically written. This data byte
is an address pointer that sets up one of the other registers for
the second byte of the write operation, or for a subsequent read
operation.
Value Registers
The ADM1023 has three registers to store the results of local
and remote temperature measurements. These registers are
written to by the ADC and can only be read over the SMBus.
The Offset Register
Two offset registers are provided at Address 0x11 and
Address 0x12. These are provided so that the user may remove
errors from the measured values of remote temperature. These
errors may be introduced by clock noise and PCB track
resistance. See Table 7 for an example of offset values.
The offset value is stored as an 11-bit, twos complement value
in Register 0x11 (high byte) and Register 0x12 (low byte, left
justified). The value of the offset is negative if the MSB of
Register 0x11 is 1, and is positive if the MSB of Register 0x11 is
0. This value is added to the remote temperature. These
registers default to zero at power-up and will have no effect if
nothing is written to them. The offset register can accept values
from −128.875°C to +127.875°C. The ADM1023 detects
overflow so the remote temperature value register will not wrap
around +127°C or −128°C.

Conversion Rate Register
The lowest three bits of this register are used to program the
conversion rate by dividing the ADC clock by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,
64, or 128, to give conversion times from 125 ms (Code 0x07)
to 16 seconds (Code 0x00). This register can be written to and
read back over the SMBus. The higher five bits of this register
are unused and must be set to zero. Use of slower conversion
times greatly reduces the device’s power consumption, as shown
in Table 10.
The ADM1023 has six limit registers to store local and remote,
high and low temperature limits. These registers can be written
to, and read back over, the SMBus. The high limit registers
perform a > comparison, while the low limit registers perform a
< comparison. For example, if the high limit register is programmed
as a limit of 80°C, measuring 81°C will result in an alarm condition. Even though the temperature range is 0 to 127°C, it is
possible to program the limit register with negative values. This
is for backwards-compatibility with the ADM1021.
One-Shot Register
The one-shot register is used to initiate a single conversion and
comparison cycle when the ADM1023 is in standby mode, after
which the device returns to standby. This is not a data register
as such, and it is the write operation that causes the one-shot
conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and is
not stored.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
Control of the ADM1023 is carried out via the serial bus. The
ADM1023 is connected to this bus as a slave device, under the
control of a master device. Note that the SMBus SDA and SCLK
pins are three-stated when the ADM1023 is powered down and
will not pull down the SMBus.
ADDRESS PINS
In general, every SMBus device has a 7-bit device address
(except for some devices that have extended, 10-bit addresses).
When the master device sends a device address over the bus,
the slave device with that address responds. The ADM1023 has
two address pins, ADD0 and ADD1, to allow selection of the
device address, so that several ADM1023s can be used on the
same bus and to avoid conflict with other devices. Although
only two address pins are provided, these pins are three-state
and can be grounded, left unconnected, or tied to V
total of nine different addresses are possible, as shown in Table 11.
Note that the state of the address pins is only sampled at powerup, so changing them after power-up will have no effect.
1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial
data line, SDATA, while the serial clock line, SCLK, remains
high. This indicates that an address/data stream will follow.
All slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to
the start condition and shift in the next 8 bits. These bits
W
consist of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus an R/
bit, which
determines the direction of the data transfer, that is, whether
data will be written to, or read from, the slave device.
The peripheral whose address corresponds 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 remain idle
while the selected device waits for data to be read from or
written to it. If the R/

SCLK
2. Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, 8 bits of data followed by an Acknowledge bit from
the slave device. Transitions on the data line must occur
during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable
during the high period because a low-to-high transition
when the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop signal.
The number of data bytes that can be transmitted over the
serial bus in a single read or write operation is limited only by
what the master and slave devices can handle.
3. 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 overrides the
Acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high during the low
period before the ninth clock pulse. This is known as No
Acknowledge. The master will then take 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.

Figure 18. Reading Data from a Previously Selected Register
R/W
Any number of bytes of data may be transferred over the serial
bus in one operation, but 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.
In the case of the ADM1023, write operations contain either
one or two bytes, while read operations contain one byte and
perform the following functions:
To write data to one of the device data registers, or read data
from it, the address pointer register must be set so that the
correct data register is addressed. Data can then be written into
that register or read from it. The first byte of a write operation
always contains a valid address that is stored in the address
pointer register. If data is to be written to the device, the write
operation contains a second data byte that is written to the
register selected by the address pointer register.
This is illustrated in Figure 16. The device address is sent over
the bus followed by R/
set to 0. This is followed by two data
W
bytes. The first data byte is the address of the internal data
register to be written to, which is stored in the address pointer
register. The second data byte is the data to be written to the
internal data register.
When reading data from a register there are two possibilities:
1. If the ADM1023’s address pointer register value is unknown,
or not the desired value, it is necessary to set it to the correct
value before data can be read from the desired data register.
This is done by performing a write to the ADM1023 as
before, but only the data byte containing the register read
address is sent, as data is not to be written to the register. This
is shown in Figure 17.
A read operation is then performed consisting of the serial
bus address, R/
bit set to 1, followed by the data byte read
W
from the data register. This is shown in Figure 18.
2. If the address pointer register is known to be at the desired
address already, data can be read from the corresponding
data register without first writing to the address pointer
register.

NOTES
•It is possible to read a data byte from a data register
without first writing to the address pointer register.
However, it is not possible to write data to a register
without writing to the address pointer register even if the
address pointer register is already at the correct value. This
is because the first data byte of a write is always written to
the address pointer register.
•Do not forget that ADM1023 registers have different
addresses for read and write operations. The write address
of a register must be written to the address pointer if data is
to be written to that register, but it is not possible to read
data from that address. The read address of a register must
be written to the address pointer before data can be read
from that register.

SENSOR FAULT DETECTION
The ADM1023 has a fault detector at the D+ input that detects
if the external sensor diode is open-circuit. This is a simple
voltage comparator that trips if the voltage at D+ exceeds
− 1 V (typical). The output of this comparator is checked

CC
when a conversion is initiated and sets Bit 2 of the status
register if a fault is detected.
If the remote sensor voltage falls below the normal measuring
range, for example, due to the diode being short-circuited, the
ADC will output –128°C (1000 0000 000). Since the normal
operating temperature range of the device only extends down to
0°C, this output code will never be seen in normal operation, so
it can be interpreted as a fault condition.
In this respect, the ADM1023 differs from, and improves upon,
competitive devices that output zero if the external sensor goes
short-circuit. Unlike the ADM1023, these other devices can
misinterpret a genuine 0°C measurement as a fault condition.

APPLICATIONS
FACTORS AFFECTING ACCURACY
Remote Sensing Diode
The ADM1023 is designed to work with substrate transistors
built into processors, or with discrete transistors. Substrate
transistors are generally PNP types with the collector connected
to the substrate. Discrete types can be either PNP or NPN,
connected as a diode (base-shorted to collector). If an NPN
transistor is used, then the collector and base are connected to
D+ and the emitter to D−. If a PNP transistor is used, the
collector and base are connected to D− and the emitter to D+.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments, and the
ADM1023 is measuring very small voltages from the remote
sensor; therefore, care must be taken to minimize noise induced
at the sensor inputs. The following precautions are needed:
• Place the ADM1023 as close as possible to the remote
sensing diode. Provided that the worst noise sources, such as
clock generators, data/address buses, and CRTs are avoided,
this distance can be four to eight inches.
The user has no choice in the case of substrate transistors, but if
a discrete transistor is used, the best accuracy is achieved by
choosing devices according to the following criteria:
• Base emitter voltage greater than 0.25 V at 6 µA, at the
highest operating temperature.
• Base emitter voltage less than 0.95 V at 100 µA, at the lowest
operating temperature.
• Base resistance less than 100 Ω.
• Small variation in h

BE
Transistors such as 2N3904, 2N3906, or equivalents in SOT-23
package are suitable devices to use.
Thermal Inertia and Self-Heating
Accuracy depends on the temperature of the remote-sensing
diode and/or the internal temperature sensor being at the same
temperature as that being measured; and a number of factors
can affect this. Ideally, the sensor should be in good thermal
contact with the part of the system being measured, such as the
processor, for example. If it is not, the thermal inertia caused by
the mass of the sensor will cause a lag in the response of the
sensor to a temperature change. In the case of the remote
sensor, this should not be a problem as it will be either a
substrate transistor in the processor, or a small package device
such as SOT-23 placed in close proximity to it.
The on-chip sensor, however, is often remote from the
processor and only monitors the general ambient temperature
around the package. The thermal time constant of the QSOP-16
package is about 10 seconds.
In practice, the package has electrical, and hence thermal,
connection to the printed circuit board; therefore, the
temperature rise due to self-heating is negligible.
• Route the D+ and D− tracks close together, in parallel, with
grounded guard tracks on each side. Provide a ground plane
under the tracks if possible (Figure 20).
• Use wide tracks to minimize inductance and reduce noise
pickup. 10 mil track minimum width and spacing is
recommended.

• Try to minimize the number of copper/solder joints, which
can cause thermocouple effects. Where copper/solder joints
are used, make sure that they are in both the D+ and D−
path and at the same temperature.
Thermocouple effects should not be a major problem as 1°C
corresponds to about 240 µV, and thermocouple voltages are
about 3 µV/°C of temperature difference. Unless there are
two thermocouples with a big temperature differential
between them, thermocouple voltages should be much less
than 240 µV.
• Place a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to the V
pin and
DD
1000 pF input filter capacitors across D+, D− close to the
ADM1023.
• If the distance to the remote sensor is more than eight inches,
the use of twisted pair cable is recommended. This is
effective up to approximately 6 to 12 feet.
• For longer distances (up to 100 feet), use shielded twisted
pair cable such as Belden #8451 microphone cable. Connect
the twisted pair to D+ and D−, and the shield to GND close
Rev. G | Page 16 of 20
ADM1023
to the ADM1023. Leave the remote end of the shield
unconnected to avoid ground loops.
Because the measurement technique uses switched current
sources, excessive cable and/or filter capacitance can affect the
measurement. When using long cables, the filter capacitor may
be reduced or removed.
Cable resistance can also introduce errors. A 1 Ω series
resistance introduces about 1°C error.
