MAXIM MAX6698 User Manual

General Description

The MAX6689 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 MAX6689 is specified for an operating temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in 20-pin
QSOP and TSSOP packages.

MAX6689

Detailed Description

The MAX6689 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 MAX6689
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 MAX6689 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 MAX6689

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

Enter software standby mode by setting the STOP bit to
1 in the configuration 1 register. Enter hardware standby
by pulling STBY low. Software standby mode disables
the ADC and reduces the supply current to approxi­mately 30µA. Hardware standby mode halts the ADC
clock, but the supply current is approximately 350µA.
During either software or hardware standby, data is
retained in memory. During hardware standby, the
SMBus interface is inactive. During software standby, the
SMBus interface is active and listening for 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 inter-
