1 Overview
The EMC1002 is an SMBus temperature sensing IC with 1 internal and 1 external se nsor in an 8 pin MSOP package. The EMC1002 has 2 Alert/Therm2 and Addr/Therm outputs that can be configured to signal when temperatures exceed programmed limits. Resistance Error Correction can eliminate the affect of series resistance to provide a more accurate temperature reading. This is especially important for microprocessors, FPGAs, and graphics chips. The EMC1033 is also supported by this evaluation board (EVB). The EMC1033 has an additional feature, “Anti-Parallel Diode” (APD) support which allows the connection of two diodes to the EMC1033’s DP/DN inputs in opposite polar ity.
The EVB-EMC1002 and EVB-EMC1033 are USB-based platforms for evaluating the EMC1002/1033. A block diagram of the EVB is shown in Figure 1.1 below.

3 Circuit Description

3.1 Introduction

The EMC1002 EVB provides the means to demonstrate EMC1002/1033 features and to view and modify registers. LED Indicators and test points are included to show status information and a fan driver circuit linearly drives a 5V fan to 3 different speeds based on programmable temperature limits.

3.2 EMC1002/1033

The EMC1002 is an SMBus temperature sensor with 1 internal and 1 external sensor in an 8 pin MSOP package. The EMC1033 has the same features plus support for a second external sensor in parallel with Remote 1 using the “Anti-Parallel Diode” (APD) function. Communications with the EMC1002/1033 is via the SMBus. when temperatures exceed programmed limits.

3.3 USB to SMBus Bridge

The USB to SMBus bridge is based on an 8051 microcontroller with integrated USB and SMBus interfaces as well as internal flash and RAM. During EVB manufacture, firmware is loaded into the bridge that provides the interface between the SMBus and the USB driver. Power is sourced to the MCU from the USB interface.
Alert/Therm2 and Addr/Therm outputs may be configured to assert

3.4 Remote Diode with Resistance Error Correction (R.E.C.)

Two diode-connected 2N3904 transistors may be mounted on the EVB, Remote1 and Remote2. Remote2 is only populated for the EMC1033 EVB and may be disabled by removing jumpers on JP1. The Remote1 diode DN signal path has a series resistor to demonstrate the EMC1002/1033’s R.E.C. feature. The resistor may be effectively removed from the circuit by installing a jumper on JP1. See the Jumper Settings and Connection List for details on jumper settings.

3.5 Power Source

This demo board derives +5V power from the USB port. The bridge microcontroller has an internal voltage regulator that supplies +3.3V to the EMC1002/1033 and other EVB circuits.

3.6 Fan Drive Circuit

The fan drive circuit linearly drives a 5V, 2-wire fan. Three different drive voltages are possible with the resistor values used on this EVB, 0, 2.4 and 4.1V. If R6 is populated with an 820 ohm resistor, the fan drive voltages will be approximately 2.4, 3.2. and 4.1V. Other fan drive voltage combinations can be achieved by varying R3, R4 and R6. R3 and R4 are located on the top side of the PCB next to transistor Q1. R6 is on the bottom side of the PCB directly opposite Q1.
Note: Full fan ON cannot be achieved with this circuit due to transistor voltage drop. The fan drive voltage is set by controlling Q1’s base and emitter voltages. When neither the
Alert/Therm2 or Addr/Therm outputs are asserted low, no current flows through Q1’s base terminal so
the base and emitter voltages are high and the fan will be OFF. When the asserted low, the base voltage is set by the resistor divider R3/R4. When the asserted low, the transistor is turned ON fully, resulting in the maximum fan drive voltage for this circuit, which is approximately 4.1V.

3.8 Direct SMBus Connect Option

It is also possible to connect an external SMBus master to the EMC1002 EVB. A few modifications to the circuit are required:
n Cut 3 traces connecting JP4 pins 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8 on the bottom side of the PCB. This will
disconnect the USB bridge from the SMBus. The pullup resistor s for the SMBus SDA, SCL and
Alert/Therm2 signals are also disconnected so external pullups will need to be supplie d by the
SMBus Master.
n Install P1 or JP4 to provide an SMBus connector. See the Jumper Settings and Connection List
for details.
n Optionally remove zero ohm resistor R31. When removed, the USB to SMBus bridge will not supply
+3.3V to the circuitry so power will need to be provided from an external source. If R31 is left installed, power will be supplied from the USB conne ctor when connected to a computer or USB hub.

4 Demo Description

4.1 Register Manager Overview

The Register Manager application (RegMan) initially displays the main Help screen, where detailed description of the application’s features may be found. The Help screens can be disp layed at any time by selecting Help from the menubar or pressing the ? button on the too lbar. RegMan enables the user to display temperature readings, set temperature limits and read/write configuration register values.

4.2 Temperature History Graph

To open a Temperature History Graph window, select Plot -> Temperature History Plot from the menubar. The history plot continuously updates the temperature reported by the temp sensor. There are several display options, including which temperatures to display (internal, external, external2 for EMC1033 only), whether limits should be displayed, and if so, for which temp sensor. See a typical Temperature History Graph in Figure 4.1 below:
..

Figure 4.1 Temperature History Plot

4.3 Temperature Limits and Alert/Therm2, Addr/Therm Outputs

The high and low limits are displayed a s dashed lines, initially w ith values set in the EMC1002.ini file. (or EMC1033.ini) These limits may be changed either in the register manager or by dragging the li ne on the history plot. If any of the Temp High or Temp Low Limits are exceeded, the will assert. If the Ext THERM Limit or the Local THERM Limit are exceeded, the be asserted.
The
Alert/Therm2 and Addr/Therm outputs are asserted active Low when a temperature exceeds the
programmed limits. The state of these outputs can be monitored by the associated bi-color LEDs or test points on the PCB.
The Alert/Therm2 output pin can be configured to function as either an SMBus Alert output or as a
Therm2 output. When configured as an SMBus Alert pin it will follow the SMBus Alert Response protocol
to clear the assert state. When configured as a Response Protocol to clear the pin’s status. This pin is initialized as a EMC1002/1033.ini file. Change register 0x09 bi t #5 to “0” to configure the pin function to

Note: Asserting the Addr/Therm output low will also turn on the ARA LED on this EVB. This is because
the fan driver circuit will pull down the Alert/Therm2 output when Addr/Therm is low. The SMBus ARA Protocol will not function in this case.

4.4 Fan Driver

The fan driver utilizes the Alert/Therm2 and Addr/Therm outputs to drive a +5V fan to 3 different fan speeds. See the Circuit Description above for information about th e fan driver. Normally, the fan driver is OFF. To turn the fan ON at low speed, the caused by dragging the High Temp Limit line below the current temperature on the Zone Temperature History graph, using the Register Manager to set the High Temp Limit value lower than the current temperature or heating the temp sensor to exceed th e limit.

To turn the fan ON to high speed, the the current temperature exceeds the associated THERM limit.
Note: When
Alert/Therm2 is configured as a Therm2 output, temperatures excee ding the High Temp
Limit will cause it to assert, however the Low Temp Limit is ignored.
Addr/Therm output must be asserted low. This will occur when

4.5 SMBus Alert Protocol (ARA) Support

When the Alert/Therm2 output is asserted an SMBus Alert interrupt is generated and an indicator l ight will turn RED on the Register Manager panel. Press the Response button to cause RegMan to send the SMBus Alert Address to the EMC1002/1033. The EMC1002/1033 will respond with it’s SMBus address which is displayed in a text box next to the Re sponse button on the RegMan interface. If the temperature is still above the limit, the indicator will remain lit and the asserted. If the temperature is below the limit the indicator will tu rn OFF and the will de-assert.

4.6 Resistance Error Correction (R.E.C.)

R.E.C. is normally enabled in the EMC1002/1033, however, for demonstration purposes this evaluation board uses a special test mode to disable R.E.C. To show the R.E.C. feature, remove the jumper on JP1 pins 1-2. This will insert a 100 ohm series resi sto r into the circuit an d cause a temperature readi ng error of approximately 60 Now enable R.E.C. by entering the value 0x0c into R.E.C. configuration register 0x53. With R.E.C. enabled, the temperature will not change when the ju mper is removed.
o
C. Replace the jumper and the temperature will return to its correct reading.

4.7 Ideality Factor Correction

Alert/Therm2 output will stay
Alert/Therm2 output
The Ideality Factor can be adjusted in Ideality Facto r Registers 0 x27 and 0 x28 (EMC1033 o nly). These registers will normally hold the default value which is correct for the diodes installed on the EVB. Increasing or decreasing the value will cause a corresponding change in the temperature reading.

4.8 Anti-Parallel Diode (EMC1033 only)

The EMC1033 supports an Anti-Parallel Diode (APD) configuration, where 2 diod es share the same DP and DN lines but are in opposite polarity to each other. The Remote2 diode can be disconnected from the circuit by removing one or both jumpers on JP1 pins 3-4 and 5-6. The APD function is normally enabled on device power-up; the function can be disabled by writing a “1” to Configuration Register 0x09, bit 0.
