DESCRIPTION
The NE1617A is an accurate two-channel temperature monitor. It
measures the temperature of itself and the temperature of a remote
sensor. The remote sensor is a diode connected transistor. This can
be in the form of either a discrete NPN/PNP, such as the
2N3904/2N3906, or a diode connected PNP built into another die,
such as is done on some INTEL microprocessors.
The temperature of both the remote and local sensors is stored in a
register that can be read via a 2-wire SMBus. The temperatures are
updated at a rate that is programmable via the SMBus (the average
supply current is dependent upon the update rate—the faster the
rate, the higher the current).
In addition to the normal operation, which is to update the
temperature at the programmed rate, there is a one shot mode that
will force a temperature update.
There is also an alarm that senses either an over or under
temperature condition. The trip points for this alarm are also
programmable.
The device can have 1 of 9 addresses (determined by 2 address
pins), so there can be up to 9 of the NE1617A on the SMBus.
It can also be put in a standby mode (in order to save power). This
can be done either with software (over the SMBus) or with hardware
(using the STANDBY pin).
