General Description
The MAX6649 is a precise, two-channel digital temperature sensor. It accurately measures the temperature of
its own die and a remote PN junction, and reports the
temperature in digital form using a 2-wire serial interface. The remote PN junction is typically the emitterbase junction of a common-collector PNP on a CPU,
FPGA, or ASIC.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBus)™ 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 MAX6649 includes 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 MAX6649 provides 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, with the
conversion rate programmed by the user, or in a singleshot mode. The adjustable conversion rate allows the
user to optimize 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 MAX6649
operates from -55°C to +125°C, and measures temperatures between 0°C and +145°C. The MAX6649 is available in an 8-pin µMAX package.

Detailed Description
The MAX6649 is a temperature sensor designed to
work in conjunction with a microprocessor or other intelligence in thermostatic, process-control, or monitoring
applications. Communication with the MAX6649 occurs
through the SMBus-compatible serial interface and
dedicated alert pins. 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. ALERT also asserts if the remote-sensing diode pins are shorted or unconnected. The
overtemperature alarm, OVERT, asserts if the softwareprogrammed OVERT limit is exceeded. OVERT can be
connected to fans, a system shutdown, a clock throttle
control, or other thermal-management circuitry.
The MAX6649 converts 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 “extend-
ed” 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 user can ignore the results of the unused channel. If the remote-diode channel is unused, connect
DXP to DXN rather than leaving the pins open.
Pin Description

1V
CC
Supply Voltage Input, 3V to 5.5V. Bypass V
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; tie DXP to DXN if no remote diode is used. Place a 2200pF
capacitor between DXP and DXN for noise filtering.
3 DXN
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 user-set
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
Interrupts section.
