MAXIM MAX6697 Technical data

General Description

The MAX6697 precision multichannel temperature sen­sor monitors its own temperature and the temperatures
of up to six external diode-connected transistors. All
temperature channels have programmable alert thresh­olds. Channels 1, 4, 5, and 6 also have programmable
overtemperature thresholds. When the measured tem­perature of a channel exceeds the respective thresh­old, a status bit is set in one of the status registers. Two
open-drain outputs, OVERT and ALERT, assert corre­sponding to these bits in the status register.

The 2-wire serial interface supports the standard system
management bus (SMBus™) protocols: write byte, read
byte, send byte, and receive byte for reading the tem­perature data and programming the alarm thresholds.

The MAX6697 is specified for an operating temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in 20-pin
QSOP and 20-pin TSSOP packages.

MAX6697

Detailed Description

The MAX6697 is a precision multichannel temperature
monitor that features one local and six remote tempera­ture-sensing channels with a programmable alert
threshold for each temperature channel and a program­mable overtemperature threshold for channels 1, 4, 5,
and 6 (see Figure 1). Communication with the MAX6697
is achieved through the SMBus serial interface and a
dedicated alert pin. The alarm outputs, OVERT and
ALERT, assert if the software-programmed temperature
thresholds are exceeded. ALERT typically serves as an
interrupt, while OVERT can be connected to a fan, sys­tem shutdown, or other thermal-management circuitry.

ADC Conversion Sequence

In the default conversion mode, the MAX6697 starts the
conversion sequence by measuring the temperature on
channel 1, followed by 2, 3, local channel, 4, 5, and 6.
The conversion result for each active channel is stored
in the corresponding temperature data register.

In some systems, one of the remote thermal diodes may
be monitoring a location that experiences temperature
changes that occur much more rapidly than in the other

channels. If faster temperature changes must be moni­tored in one of the temperature channels, the MAX6697
allows channel 1 to be monitored at a faster rate than
the other channels. In this mode (set by writing a 1 to bit
4 of the configuration 1 register), measurements of
channel 1 alternate with measurements of the other
channels. The sequence becomes channel 1, channel
2, channel 1, channel 3, channel 1, etc. Note that the
time required to measure all seven channels is consid­erably greater in this mode than in the default mode.

Low-Power Standby Mode

Standby mode reduces the supply current to less than
15µA by disabling the internal ADC. Enter standby by
setting the STOP bit to 1 in the configuration 1 register.
During standby, data is retained in memory, and the
SMBus interface is active and listening for SMBus com­mands. The timeout is enabled if a start condition is rec­ognized on SMBus. Activity on the SMBus causes the
supply current to increase. If a standby command is
received while a conversion is in progress, the conver­sion cycle is interrupted, and the temperature registers
are not updated. The previous data is not changed and
remains available.
