General Description
The MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649 are precise, twochannel digital temperature sensors. The devices 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 commoncollector PNP on a CPU, FPGA, or ASIC.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard system management bus (SMBusTM) 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 MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649
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 MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649 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, at the programmed conversion rate, or in a single-shot mode. The
adjustable conversion rate allows optimizing supply current and temperature update rate to match system needs.
Remote accuracy is ±1°C maximum error between +60°C
and +145°C with no calibration needed. The MAX6646/
MAX6647/MAX6649 operate from -55°C to +125°C, and
measure temperatures between 0°C and +145°C. The
MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649 are available in an 8-pin
µMAX®package.

Detailed Description
The MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649 are temperature sensors designed to work in conjunction with a microprocessor or other intelligence in thermostatic, process-control,
or monitoring applications. Communication with the
MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649 occurs through the
SMBus-compatible serial interface and dedicated alert
and overtemperature outputs. 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 in the MAX6649. ALERT also asserts, in
the MAX6649, 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 thermal-management circuitry.
The MAX6646/MAX6647/MAX6649 convert temperatures
to digital data either at a programmed rate or in single
conversions. Temperature data is represented as 11 bits,
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 8 bits with the full-scale
reading 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 results of the unused channel can be ignored.
If the remote-diode channel is unused, connect DXP to
DXN rather than leaving the inputs open.
Pin Description

CC

CC
to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. A 200Ω series
resistor is recommended but not required for additional noise filtering.
2 DXP
Combined Remote-Diode Current Source and A/D Positive Input for Remote-Diode Channel. DO
NOT LEAVE DXP FLOATING; connect DXP to DXN if no remote diode is used. Place a 2200pF
capacitor between DXP and DXN for noise filtering.
3DXN
Combined Remote-Diode Current Sink and A/D Negative Input. DXN is internally connected to
ground.
4 OVERT
Overtemperature Alert/Interrupt Output, Open Drain. OVERT is logic low when the temperature is
above the software-programmed threshold.
5 GND Ground
6 ALERT
SMBus Alert (Interrupt) Output, Open Drain. ALERT asserts when temperature exceeds limits
(high or low temperature). ALERT stays asserted until acknowledged by either reading the status
register or by successfully responding to an alert response address, provided that the fault
condition no longer exists. See the
ALERT
