Description STCN75

1 Description

The STCN75 is a high-precision digital CMOS temperature sensor IC with a sigma-delta
temperature-to-digital converter and an I
for general applications such as personal computers, system thermal management,
electronics equipment, and industrial controllers, and is packaged in the industry-standard
8-lead TSSOP package.
The device contains a bandgap temperature sensor and 9-bit ADC which monitor and
digitize the temperature to a resolution up to 0.5 °C. The STCN75 is typically accurate to
(±3 °C - max) over the full temperature measurement range of –55 °C to 125 °C with ±2 °C
accuracy in the –25 °C to +100 °C range. The STCN75 is pin-for-pin and software
compatible with the TCN75.
The STCN75 is specified for operating at supply voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Operating at
3.3 V, the supply current is typically (125 µA).
The onboard sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the measured
temperature to a digital value that is calibrated in degrees centigrade; for Fahrenheit
applications a lookup table or conversion routine is required.
The STCN75 is factory-calibrated and requires no external components to measure
temperature.

1.1 Serial communications

The STCN75 has a simple 2-wire I2C-compatible digital serial interface which allows the
user to access the data in the temperature register at any time. It communicates via the
serial interface with a master controller which operates at speeds up to 400 kHz. Three pins
(A0, A1, and A2) are available for address selection, and enable the user to connect up to 8
devices on the same bus without address conflict.

C-compatible serial digital interface. It is targeted
In addition, the serial interface gives the user easy access to all STCN75 registers to
customize operation of the device.

STCN75 Description

1.2 Temperature sensor output

The STCN75 Temperature Sensor has a dedicated open drain overlimit signal/interrupt
(OS
/INT) output which features a thermal alarm function. This function provides a user­programmable trip and turn-off temperature. It can operate in either of two selectable modes:
Section 2.3: Comparator mode
Section 2.4: Interrupt mode.
At power-up the STCN75 immediately begins measuring the temperature and converting the temperature to a digital value.
The measured temperature value is compared with a temperature limit (which is stored in the 16-bit (T the 16-bit (T OS
/INT pin is activated (see Figure 3 on page 8).
Note: See Pin descriptions on page 8 for details.

1.3.1 SDA (open drain)

This is the serial data input/output pin for the 2-wire serial communication port.

1.3.2 SCL

This is the serial clock input pin for the 2-wire serial communication port.

1.3.3 OS/INT (open drain)

This is the overlimit signal/interrupt alert output pin. It is open drain, so it needs a pull-up resistor. In Interrupt mode, it outputs a pulse whenever the measured temperature exceeds the programmed threshold (T the measured temperature is above or below the threshold and hysteresis (T

Operation STCN75

2 Operation

After each temperature measurement and analog-to-digital conversion, the STCN75 stores the temperature as a 16-bit two’s complement number (see Table 5: Register pointers
selection summary on page 16) in the 2-byte temperature register (see Table 7 on page 17).
The most significant bit (S) indicates if the temperature is positive or negative:
for positive numbers S = 0, and
for negative numbers S = 1.
The most recently converted digital measurement can be read from the temperature register at any time. Since temperature conversions are performed in the background, reading the temperature register does not affect the operation in progress.
The temperature data is provided by the 9 MSBs (bits 15 through 7). Bits 6 through 0 are unused. Table 3 on page 14 gives examples of the digital output data and corresponding temperatures. The data is compared to the values in the T the OS
/INT is updated based on the result of the comparison and the operating mode.
The alarm fault tolerance is controlled by the FT1 and FT0 bits in the configuration register. They are used to set up a fault queue. This prevents false tripping of the OS the STCN75 is used in a noisy environment (see Table 2 on page 13).
