ADT7461  
+15C Temperature Monitor  
with Series Resistance  
Cancellation  
The ADT7461 is a dual-channel digital thermometer and under/over  
temperature alarm intended for use in PCs and thermal management  
systems. It is pin- and register-compatible with the ADM1032. The  
ADT7461 has three additional features: series resistance cancellation  
(where up to 3 kW (typical) of resistance in series with the temperature  
monitoring diode may be automatically cancelled from the temperature  
result, allowing noise filtering); configurable ALERT output; and an  
extended, switchable temperature measurement range. The ADT7461  
can accurately measure the temperature of a remote thermal diode to  
1°C and the ambient temperature to 3°C. The temperature  
measurement range defaults to 0°C to +127°C, compatible with the  
ADM1032, but can be switched to a wider measurement range of 55°C  
to +150°C. The ADT7461 communicates over a 2-wire serial interface  
compatible with system management bus (SMBus) standards. An  
ALERT output signals when the on-chip or remote temperature is out of  
range. The THERM output is a comparator output that allows on/off  
control of a cooling fan. The ALERT output can be reconfigured as a  
second THERM output, if required.

ADT7461  
Functional Description  
Temperature Measurement Method  
The ADT7461 is a local and remote temperature sensor  
and over/under temperature alarm, with the added ability to  
automatically cancel the effect of 3 kW (typical) of  
resistance in series with the temperature monitoring diode.  
When the ADT7461 is operating normally, the on-board  
ADC operates in a free-running mode. The analog input  
multiplexer alternately selects either the on-chip  
temperature sensor to measure its local temperature or the  
remote temperature sensor. The ADC digitizes these signals  
and the results are stored in the local and remote temperature  
value registers.  
The local and remote measurement results are compared  
with the corresponding high, low, and THERM temperature  
limits, stored in eight on-chip registers. Out-of-limit  
comparisons generate flags that are stored in the status register.  
A result that exceeds the high temperature limit, the low  
temperature limit, or an external diode fault causes the ALERT  
output to assert low. Exceeding THERM temperature limits  
causes the THERM output to assert low. The ALERT output  
can be reprogrammed as a second THERM output.  
A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit  
the negative temperature coefficient of a diode by measuring  
the base-emitter voltage (V ) of a transistor operated at  
BE  
constant current. However, this technique requires  
calibration to null out the effect of the absolute value of V  
which varies from device to device.  
,
BE  
The technique used in the ADT7461 is to measure the  
change in V when the device is operated at three different  
BE  
currents. Previous devices have used only two operating  
currents, but it is the use of a third current that allows  
automatic cancellation of resistances in series with the  
external temperature sensor.  
Figure 15 shows the input signal conditioning used to  
measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This  
figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but  
it could equally be a discrete transistor. If a discrete  
transistor is used, the collector will not be grounded and  
should be linked to the base. To prevent ground noise  
interfering with the measurement, the more negative  
terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground, but is  
biased above ground by an internal diode at the Dinput. C1  
may be added as a noise filter (a recommended maximum  
value of 1,000 pF). However, a better option in noisy  
environments is to add a filter, as described in the Noise  
Filtering section. See the Layout Considerations section for  
more information on C1.  
The limit registers can be programmed and the device  
controlled and configured via the serial SMBus. The  
contents of any register can also be read back via the SMBus.  
Control and configuration functions consist of switching  
the device between normal operation and standby mode,  
selecting the temperature measurement scale, masking or  
enabling the ALERT output, switching Pin 6 between  
ALERT and THERM2, and selecting the conversion rate.  
To measure DV , the operating current through the  
BE  
sensor is switched among three related currents. Figure 15  
shows N1 x I and N2 x I as different multiples of the current,  
I. The currents through the temperature diode are switched  
Series Resistance Cancellation  
Parasitic resistance to the D+ and Dinputs to the  
ADT7461, seen in series with the remote diode, is caused by  
a variety of factors, including PCB track resistance and track  
length. This series resistance appears as a temperature offset  
in the remote sensor’s temperature measurement. This error  
typically causes a 0.5°C offset per ohm of parasitic resistance  
in series with the remote diode.  
The ADT7461 automatically cancels out the effect of this  
series resistance on the temperature reading, giving a more  
accurate result, without the need for user characterization of  
this resistance. The ADT7461 is designed to automatically  
cancel typically up to 3 kW of resistance. By using an  
advanced temperature measurement method, this is  
transparent to the user. This feature allows resistances to be  
added to the sensor path to produce a filter, allowing the part  
to be used in noisy environments. See the Noise Filtering  
section for more details.  
between I and N1 x I, giving DV , and then between I and  
BE1  
N2 x I, giving DV . The temperature may then be  
BE2  
calculated using the two DV measurements. This method  
BE  
can also be shown to cancel the effect of any series resistance  
on the temperature measurement.  
The resulting DV  
waveforms are passed through a  
BE  
65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise and then to a  
chopper-stabilized amplifier. This amplifies and rectifies the  
waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to DV . The  
BE  
ADC digitizes this voltage and a temperature measurement is  
produced. To reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is  
performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles  
for low conversion rates. At rates of 16, 32, and 64  
conversions per second, no digital averaging takes place.  
Signal conditioning and measurement of the internal  
temperature sensor is performed in the same manner.

Temperature Measurement Results  
of an external diode, from 55°C to +150°C. The user can  
switch between these two temperature ranges by setting or  
clearing Bit 2 in the configuration register. A valid result is  
available in the next measurement cycle after changing the  
temperature range.  
In extended temperature mode, the upper and lower  
temperature that can be measured by the ADT7461 is  
limited by the remote diode selection. The temperature  
registers themselves can have values from 64°C to +191°C.  
However, most temperature sensing diodes have a  
maximum temperature range of 55°C to +150°C.  
Above 150°C, they may lose their semiconductor  
characteristics and approximate conductors instead. This  
results in a diode short. In this case, a read of the temperature  
result register gives the last good temperature measurement.  
The user should be aware that the temperature measurement  
on the external channel may not be accurate for temperatures  
that are outside the operating range of the remote sensor.  
While both local and remote temperature measurements  
can be made while the part is in extended temperature mode,  
the ADT7461 itself should not be exposed to temperatures  
greater than those specified in the Absolute Maximum  
Ratings section. Also, the device is guaranteed to operate only  
as specified at ambient temperatures from 40°C to +120°C.  
The results of the local and remote temperature  
measurements are stored in the local and remote temperature  
value registers and are compared with limits programmed  
into the local and remote high and low limit registers.  
The local temperature value is in Register 0x00 and has a  
resolution of 1°C. The external temperature value is stored in  
two registers, with the upper byte in Register 0x01 and the  
lower byte in Register 0x10. Only the two MSBs in the external  
temperature low byte are used. This gives the external  
temperature measurement a resolution of 0.25°C. Table 1  
shows the data format for the external temperature low byte.

When reading the full external temperature value, both the  
high and low byte, the two registers should be read in  
succession. Reading one register does not lock the other, so  
both should be read before the next conversion finishes. In  
practice, there is more than enough time to read both  
registers, as transactions over the SMBus are significantly  
faster than a conversion time.  
Temperature Data Format  
The ADT7461 has two temperature data formats. When the  
temperature measurement range is from 0°C to +127°C  
(default), the temperature data format for both internal and  
external temperature results is binary. When the measurement  
range is in extended mode, an offset binary data format is used  
for both internal and external results. Temperature values in  
the offset binary data format are offset by 64°C. Examples of  
temperatures in both data formats are shown in Table 2.  
Temperature Measurement Range  
The temperature measurement range for both internal and  
external measurements is, by default, 0°C to +127°C.  
However, the ADT7461 can be operated using an extended  
temperature range. It can measure the full temperature range

by the user over the SMBus. The local temperature value

The external temperature value high byte register is at  
Address 0x01, with the low byte register at Address 0x10.

The configuration register is Address 0x03 at read and  
Address 0x09 at write. Its power-on default is 0x00. Only  
four bits of the configuration register are used. Bits 0, 1, 3,  
and 4 are reserved and should not be written to by the user.  
Bit 7 of the configuration register is used to mask the  
ALERT output. If Bit 7 is 0, the ALERT output is enabled.  
This is the power-on default. If Bit 7 is set to 1, the ALERT  
output is disabled. This only applies if Pin 6 is configured as  
ALERT. If Pin 6 is configured as THERM2, the value of  
Bit 7 has no effect.  
If Bit 6 is set to 0 (the power-on default), the device is in  
operating mode with the ADC converting. If Bit 6 is set to  
1, the device is in standby mode and the ADC does not  
convert. The SMBus does, however, remain active in  
standby mode, so values can be read from or written to the  
ADT7461 via the SMBus in this mode. The ALERT and  
THERM outputs are also active in standby mode. Changes  
made to the registers in standby mode that affect the  
THERM or ALERT outputs cause these signals to be  
updated.  
Bit 5 determines the configuration of Pin 6 on the  
ADT7461. If Bit 5 is 0 (default), then Pin 6 is configured as  
an ALERT output. If Bit 5 is 1, then Pin 6 is configured as  
a THERM2 output. Bit 7, the ALERT mask bit, is only active  
when Pin 6 is configured as an ALERT output. If Pin 6 is set  
up as a THERM2 output, then Bit 7 has no effect.  
Bit 2 sets the temperature measurement range. If Bit 2 is  
0 (default), the temperature measurement range is set  
between 0°C to +127°C. Setting Bit 2 to 1 means that the  
measurement range is set to the extended temperature range.

2. Binary scale temperature measurement returns 0°C for all  
temperatures < 0°C.  
3. Binary scale temperature measurement returns 127°C for all  
temperatures > 127°C.  
The user can switch between measurement ranges at any  
time. Switching the range also switches the data format. The  
next temperature result following the switching is reported  
back to the register in the new format. However, the  
contents of the limit registers are not changed. The user must  
ensure that the limit registers are reprogrammed, as  
necessary, when the data format changes. See the Limit  
Registers section for more information.  
ADT7461 Registers  
The ADT7461 contains a total of 22 8-bit registers. These  
registers are used to store the results of remote and local  
temperature measurements and high and low temperature  
limits and to configure and control the device. A description  
of these registers follows. Additional details are provided in  
Table 3 to Table 7.  
Table 3. Configuration Register Bit Assignments  
Address Pointer Register  
Bit  
Name

PowerOn  
Default  
The address pointer register does not have or require an  
address, as the first byte of every write operation is  
automatically written to this register. The data in this first  
byte always contains the address of another register on the  
ADT7461, which is stored in the address pointer register.  
This register address is written to by the second byte of a  
write operation or is used for a subsequent read operation.  
The power-on default value of the address pointer register  
is 0x00. Therefore, if a read operation is performed  
immediately after power-on, without first writing to the  
address pointer, the value of the local temperature is  
returned, since its register address is 0x00.

512, or 1024 to give conversion times from 15.5 ms (Code  
0x0A) to 16 seconds (Code 0x00). For example, a  
conversion rate of 8 conversions per second means that  
beginning at 125 ms intervals; the device performs a  
conversion on the internal and external temperature  
channels.  
This register can be written to and read back over the  
SMBus. The higher four bits of this register are unused and  
must be set to 0. The default value of this register is 0x08,  
giving a rate of 16 conversions per second. Use of slower  
conversion times greatly reduces the device power  
consumption, as shown in Table 4.  
It is important to remember that the temperature limits  
data format is the same as the temperature measurement data  
format. So, if the temperature measurement uses default  
binary, the temperature limits also use the binary scale. If the  
temperature measurement scale is switched, however, the  
temperature limits do not switch automatically. The user  
must reprogram the limit registers to the desired value in the  
correct data format. For example, if the remote low limit is  
set at 10°C and the default binary scale is being used, the  
limit register value should be 0000 1010b. If the scale is  
switched to offset binary, the value in the low temperature  
limit register should be reprogrammed to be 0100 1010b.

Bit 7 of the status register indicates the ADC is busy  
converting when it is high. The other bits in this register flag  
the out-of-limit temperature measurements (Bits 6 to 3 and  
Bits 1 to 0) and the remote sensor open circuit (Bit 2).  
If Pin 6 is configured as an ALERT output, the following  
applies. If the local temperature measurement exceeds its  
limits, Bit 6 (high limit) or Bit 5 (low limit) of the status  
register asserts to flag this condition. If the remote  
temperature measurement exceeds its limits, then Bit 4 (high  
limit) or Bit 3 (low limit) asserts. Bit 2 asserts to flag an  
open-circuit condition on the remote sensor. These five flags  
are NOR’d together so if any of them is high, the ALERT  
interrupt latch is set and the ALERT output goes low.  
Reading the status register clears the five flags, Bits 6 to 2,  
provided the error conditions causing the flags to be set have  
gone away. A flag bit can be reset only if the corresponding  
value register contains an in-limit measurement or if the  
sensor is good.  
The ALERT interrupt latch is not reset by reading the  
status register. It resets when the ALERT output has been  
serviced by the master reading the device address, provided  
the error condition has gone away and the status register flag  
bits are reset.  
When Flag 1 and/or Flag 0 are set, the THERM output  
goes low to indicate the temperature measurements are  
outside the programmed limits. The THERM output does  
not need to be reset, unlike the ALERT output. Once the  
measurements are within the limits, the corresponding status  
register bits are reset automatically and the THERM output  
goes high. The user may add hysteresis by programming  
Register 0x21. The THERM output is reset only when the  
temperature falls to limit value minus hysteresis value.

Limit Registers  
The ADT7461 has eight limit registers: high, low, and  
THERM temperature limits for both local and remote  
temperature measurements. The remote temperature high  
and low limits span two registers each to contain an upper  
and lower byte for each limit. There is also a THERM  
hysteresis register. All limit registers can be written to and  
read back over the SMBus. See Table 8 for address details  
of the limit registers and their power-on default values.  
When Pin 6 is configured as an ALERT output, the high  
limit registers perform a > comparison while the low limit  
registers perform a comparison. For example, if the high  
limit register is programmed with 80°C, then measuring  
81°C results in an out-of-limit condition, setting a flag in the  
status register. If the low limit register is programmed with  
0°C, measuring 0°C or lower results in an out-of-limit  
condition.  
Exceeding either the local or remote THERM limit asserts  
THERM low. When Pin 6 is configured as THERM2,  
exceeding either the local or remote high limit asserts

When Pin 6 is configured as THERM2, only the high  
Table 6. Sample Offset Register Codes  
temperature limits are relevant. If Flag 6 and/or Flag 4 are  
set, the THERM2 output goes low to indicate the  
temperature measurements are outside the programmed  
limits. Flag 5 and Flag 3 have no effect on THERM2. The  
behavior of THERM2 is otherwise the same as THERM.

One-Shot Register  
The one-shot register is used to initiate a conversion and  
comparison cycle when the ADT7461 is in standby mode,  
after which the device returns to standby. Writing to the  
one-shot register address (0x0F) causes the ADT7461 to  
perform a conversion and comparison on both the internal  
and the external temperature channels. This is not a data  
register as such; the write operation to Address 0x0F causes  
the one-shot conversion. The data written to this address is  
irrelevant and is not stored.

Consecutive ALERT Register  
The value written to this register determines how many  
out-of-limit measurements must occur before an ALERT is  
generated. The default value is that one out-of-limit  
measurement generates an ALERT. The maximum value that  
can be chosen is 4. The purpose of this register is to allow the  
user to perform some filtering of the output. This is  
particularly useful at the fastest three conversion rates, where  
no averaging takes place. This register is at Address 0x22.  
Offset Register  
Offset errors may be introduced into the remote  
temperature measurement by clock noise or by the thermal  
diode being located away from the hot spot. To achieve the  
specified accuracy on this channel, these offsets must be  
removed.  
The offset value is stored as a 10-bit, twos complement  
value in Registers 0x11 (high byte) and 0x12 (low byte, left  
justified). Only the upper 2 bits of Register 0x12 are used.  
The MSB of Register 0x11 is the sign bit. The minimum  
offset that can be programmed is 128°C, and the maximum  
is +127.75°C. The value in the offset register is added to the  
measured value of the remote temperature.

1. Writing to Address ox0F causes the ADT7461 to perform a single measurement. It is not a data register, therefore, data written to it is  
irrelevant.  
Serial Bus Interface  
The serial bus protocol operates as follows:  
1. The master initiates data transfer by establishing a  
start condition, defined as a high-to-low transition  
on the serial data line SDATA, while the serial  
clock line SCLK remains high. This indicates that  
an address/data stream will follow. All slave  
peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to  
the start condition and shift in the next eight bits,  
consisting of a 7-bit address (MSB first) plus an  
R/W bit, which determines the direction of the  
data transfer, that is, whether data will be written  
to or read from the slave device. The peripheral  
whose address corresponds to the transmitted  
address responds by pulling the data line low  
during the low period before the ninth clock pulse,  
known as the acknowledge bit. All other devices  
on the bus now remain idle while the selected  
device waits for data to be read from or written to  
it. If the R/W bit is a 0, the master writes to the  
slave device. If the R/W bit is a 1, the master reads  
from the slave device.  
Control of the ADT7461 is carried out via the serial bus.  
The ADT7461 is connected to this bus as a slave device,  
under the control of a master device.  
After a conversion sequence completes, there should be  
no SMBus transactions to the ADT7461 for at least one  
conversion time, to allow the next conversion to complete.  
The conversion time depends on the value programmed in  
the conversion rate register.  
The ADT7461 has an SMBus timeout feature. When this  
is enabled, the SMBus times out typically after 25 ms of  
inactivity. However, this feature is not enabled by default.  
Bit 7 of the consecutive alert register (Address = 0x22)  
should be set to enable it.  
Consult the SMBus 1.1 specification for more  
information (www.smbus.org).  
Addressing the Device  
In general, every SMBus device has a 7-bit device  
address, except for some devices that have extended 10-bit  
addresses. When the master device sends a device address  
over the bus, the slave device with that address responds.  
The ADT7461 is available with one device address, 0x4C  
(1001 100b). The ADT7461-2 is also available with one  
device address, 0x4D (1001 101b)  
2. Data is sent over the serial bus in a sequence of  
nine clock pulses, eight bits of data followed by an  
acknowledge bit from the slave device. Transitions  
on the data line must occur during the low period  
of the clock signal and remain stable during the  
http://onsemi.com

ADT7461  
high period, since a low-to-high transition when  
the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop  
signal. The number of data bytes that can be  
transmitted over the serial bus in a single read or  
write operation is limited only by what the master  
and slave devices can handle.  
and write in one operation because the type of operation is  
determined at the beginning and cannot subsequently be  
changed without starting a new operation. With the  
ADT7461, write operations contain either one or two bytes,  
while read operations contain one byte.  
To write data to one of the device data registers or to read  
data from it, the address pointer register must be set so that  
the correct data register is addressed. The first byte of a write  
operation always contains a valid address that is stored in the  
address pointer register. If data is to be written to the device,  
the write operation contains a second data byte that is written  
to the register selected by the address pointer register.  
This is illustrated in Figure 16. The device address is sent  
over the bus followed by R/W set to 0. This is followed by two  
data bytes. The first data byte is the address of the internal data  
register to be written to, which is stored in the address pointer  
register. The second data byte is the data to be written to the  
internal data register. The examples shown in Figure 16 to  
Figure 18 use the ADT7461 SMBus Address 0x4C.  
3. When all data bytes have been read or written,  
stop conditions are established. In write mode, the  
master pulls the data line high during the tenth  
clock pulse to assert a stop condition. In read  
mode, the master device overrides the  
acknowledge bit by pulling the data line high  
during the low period before the ninth clock pulse.  
This is known as a no acknowledge. The master  
then takes the data line low during the low period  
before the tenth clock pulse, then high during the  
tenth clock pulse to assert a stop condition.  
Any number of bytes of data may be transferred over the  
serial bus in one operation, but it is not possible to mix read

When reading data from a register there are two  
possibilities.  
ALERT RESPONSE

START  
RD ACK  
STOP  
1. If the ADT7461’s address pointer register value is  
unknown or not the desired value, it is necessary  
to set it to the correct value before data can be read  
from the desired data register. This is done by  
writing to the ADT7461 as before, but only the  
data byte containing the register read address is  
sent, since data is not to be written to the register.  
This is shown in Figure 17.

Figure 19. Use of SMBALERT  
1. SMBALERT is pulled low.  
2. Master initiates a read operation and sends the  
alert response address (ARA = 0001 100). This is  
a general call address that must not be used as a  
specific device address.  
3. The device whose ALERT output is low responds  
to the alert response address and the master reads  
its device address. As the device address is seven  
bits, an LSB of 1 is added. The address of the  
device is now known and can be interrogated in  
the usual way.  
4. If the ALERT output is low on more than one  
device, the one with the lowest device address has  
priority, in accordance with normal SMBus  
arbitration.  
5. Once the ADT7461 has responded to the alert  
response address, it resets its ALERT output,  
provided the error condition that caused the  
ALERT no longer exists. If the SMBALERT line  
remains low, the master sends the ARA again; this  
sequence continues until all devices whose  
ALERT out-puts were low have responded.  
A read operation is then performed consisting of  
the serial bus address, R/W bit set to 1, followed  
by the data byte read from the data register. This is  
shown in Figure 18.  
2. If the address pointer register is known to be at the  
desired address, data can be read from the  
corresponding data register without first writing to  
the address pointer register and the bus transaction  
shown in Figure 17 can be omitted.  
Although it is possible to read a data byte from a data  
register without first writing to the address pointer register,  
if the address pointer register is already at the correct value,  
it is not possible to write data to a register without writing to  
the address pointer register because the first data byte of a  
write is always written to the address pointer register.  
Also, some of the registers have different addresses for read  
and write operations. The write address of a register must be  
written to the address pointer if data is to be written to that  
register, but it may not be possible to read data from that  
address. The read address of a register must be written to the  
address pointer before data can be read from that register.  
Low Power Standby Mode  
The ADT7461 can be put into low power standby mode  
by set-ting Bit 6 of the configuration register. When Bit 6 is  
low, the ADT7461 operates normally. When Bit 6 is high,  
the ADC is inhibited, and any conversion in progress is  
terminated without writing the result to the corresponding  
value register.  
The SMBus is still enabled. Power consumption in the  
standby mode is reduced to less than 10 mA if there is no  
SMBus activity or 100 mA if there are clock and data signals  
on the bus.  
When the device is in standby mode, it is still possible to  
initiate a one-shot conversion of both channels by writing to  
the one-shot register (Address 0x0F), after which the device  
returns to standby. It does not matter what is written to the  
one-shot register, as all data written to it is ignored. It is also  
possible to write new values to the limit register while in  
standby mode. If the values stored in the temperature value  
registers are now outside the new limits, an ALERT is  
generated even though the ADT7461 is still in standby.  
ALERT Output  
This is applicable when Pin 6 is configured as an ALERT  
output. The ALERT output goes low whenever an  
out-of-limit measurement is detected, or if the remote  
temperature sensor is open circuit. It is an open-drain output  
and requires a pullup to V . Several ALERT outputs can  
be wire-ORed together, so the common line goes low if one  
or more of the ALERT outputs goes low.  
The ALERT output can be used as an interrupt signal to a  
processor, or it may be used as an SMBALERT. Slave  
devices on the SMBus cannot normally signal to the bus  
master that they want to talk, but the SMBALERT function  
allows them to do so.  
One or more ALERT outputs can be connected to a  
common SMBALERT line that is connected to the master.  
When the SMBALERT line is pulled low by one of the  
devices, the procedure shown in Figure 19 occurs.

ADT7461  
Sensor Fault Detection  
Figure 20 shows how the THERM and ALERT outputs  
operate. A user may choose to use the ALERT output as an  
SMBALERT to signal to the host via the SMBus that the  
temperature has risen. The user could use the THERM  
output to turn on a fan to cool the system, if the temperature  
continues to increase. This method would ensure there is a  
fail-safe mechanism to cool the system without the need for  
host intervention.  
At its D+ input, the ADT7461 contains internal sensor  
fault detection circuitry. This circuit can detect situations  
where an external remote diode is either not connected or  
incorrectly connected to the ADT7461. A simple voltage  
comparator trips if the voltage at D+ exceeds V 1 V  
DD  
(typical), signifying an open circuit between D+ and D.  
The output of this comparator is checked when a conversion  
is initiated. Bit 2 of the status register (open flag) is set if a  
fault is detected. If the ALERT pin is enabled, setting this  
flag causes ALERT to assert low.  
If the user does not wish to use an external sensor with the  
ADT7461, then to prevent continuous setting of the OPEN  
flag, the user should tie the D+ and Dinputs together.

The ADT7461 has two interrupt outputs, ALERT and  
THERM. Both have different functions and behavior.  
ALERT is maskable and responds to violations of  
software-programmed temperature limits or an open-circuit  
fault on the external diode. THERM is intended as a fail-safe  
interrupt output that cannot be masked.

If the external or local temperature exceeds the  
programmed high temperature limits or equals or exceeds  
the low temperature limits, the ALERT output is asserted  
low. An open-circuit fault on the external diode also causes  
ALERT to assert. ALERT is reset when serviced by a master  
reading its device address, provided the error condition has  
gone away and the status register has been reset.  
The THERM output asserts low if the external or local  
temperature exceeds the programmed THERM limits.  
THERM temperature limits should normally be equal to or  
greater than the high temperature limits. THERM is reset  
automatically when the temperature falls back within the  
THERM limit. The external limit is set by default to 85°C,  
as is the local THERM limit. A hysteresis value can be  
programmed so that THERM resets when the temperature  
falls to the limit value minus the hysteresis value. This  
applies to both local and remote measurement channels. The  
power-on hysteresis default value is 10°C, but this may be  
reprogrammed to any value after powerup.  
The hysteresis loop on the THERM outputs is useful when  
THERM is used for on/off control of a fan. The user’s  
system can be set up so that when THERM asserts, a fan can  
be switched on to cool the system. When THERM goes high  
again, the fan can be switched off. Programming an  
hysteresis value protects from fan jitter where the temperature  
hovers around the THERM limit, and the fan is constantly  
being switched.  
Figure 20. Operation of the ALERT and THERM  
Interrupts  
1. If the measured temperature exceeds the high  
temperature limit, the ALERT output asserts low.  
2. If the temperature continues to increase and  
exceeds the THERM limit, the THERM output  
asserts low. This can be used to throttle the CPU  
clock or switch on a fan.  
3. The THERM output deasserts (goes high) when  
the temperature falls to THERM limit minus  
hysteresis. The default hysteresis value of 10°C is  
shown in Figure 20.  
4. The ALERT output deasserts only when the  
temperature falls below the high temperature limit,  
and the master has read the device address and  
cleared the status register.  
Pin 6 on the ADT7461 can be configured as either  
an ALERT output or as an additional THERM  
output. THERM2 asserts low when the  
temperature exceeds the programmed local and/or  
remote high temperature limits. It is reset in the  
same manner as THERM, and it is not maskable.  
The programmed hysteresis value applies to  
THERM2 also.  
Figure 21 shows how THERM and THERM2  
might operate together to implement two methods  
of cooling the system. In this example, the  
THERM2 limits are set lower than the THERM  
limits. The THERM2 output could be used to turn  
on a fan. If the temperature continues to rise and  
exceeds the THERM limits, the THERM output  
could provide additional cooling by throttling the  
CPU.

Figure 22. Filter Between Remote Sensor and  
ADT7461 Factors Affecting Diode Accuracy  
Remote Sensing Diode  
The ADT7461 is designed to work with substrate  
transistors built into processors or with discrete transistors.  
Substrate transistors are generally PNP types with the  
collector connected to the substrate. Discrete types can be  
either PNP or NPN transistor connected as a diode  
(base-shorted to collector). If an NPN transistor is used, the  
collector and base are connected to D+ and the emitter to D.  
If a PNP transistor is used, the collector and base are  
connected to Dand the emitter to D+.

Interrupts  
1. When the THERM2 limit is exceeded, the  
THERM2 signal asserts low.  
To reduce the error due to variations in both substrate and  
discrete transistors, several factors should be taken into  
consideration:  
2. If the temperature continues to increase and  
exceeds the THERM limit, the THERM output  
asserts low.  
3. The THERM output deasserts (goes high) when the  
temperature falls to THERM limit minus hysteresis.  
No hysteresis value is shown in Figure 21.  
4. As the system continues to cool and the  
temperature falls below the THERM2 limit, the  
THERM2 signal resets. Again, no hysteresis value  
is shown for THERM2.  
The ideality factor, nF, of the transistor is a measure of  
the deviation of the thermal diode from ideal behavior.  
The ADT7461 is trimmed for an nF value of 1.008. The  
following equation may be used to calculate the error  
introduced at a temperature T (°C), when using a  
transistor whose nF does not equal 1.008. Consult the  
processor data sheet for the nF values.  
Both the external and internal temperature  
measurements cause THERM and THERM2 to  
operate as described.  
DT = (nF 1.008)/1.008 x (273.15 Kelvin + T)  
To factor this in, the user can write the DT value to the offset  
register. It is then automatically added to or subtracted from  
the temperature measurement by the ADT7461.  
Application Information  
Some CPU manufacturers specify the high and low  
Noise Filtering  
current levels of the substrate transistors. The high  
For temperature sensors operating in noisy environments,  
the industry standard practice was to place a capacitor across  
the D+ and Dpins to help combat the effects of noise.  
However, large capacitances affect the accuracy of the  
temperature measurement, leading to a recommended  
maximum capacitor value of 1,000 pF. While this capacitor  
reduces the noise, it does not eliminate it, making it difficult  
to use the sensor in a very noisy environment.  
The ADT7461 has a major advantage over other devices  
for eliminating the effects of noise on the external sensor.  
The series resistance cancellation feature allows a filter to be  
constructed between the external temperature sensor and the  
part. The effect of any filter resistance seen in series with the  
remote sensor is automatically cancelled from the  
temperature result.  
current level of the ADT7461, I  
, is 96 mA, and the  
HIGH  
low level current, I , is 6 mA. If the ADT7461  
LOW  
current levels do not match the current levels specified  
by the CPU manufacturer, it may become necessary to  
remove an offset. The CPUs data sheet advises whether  
this offset needs to be removed and how to calculate it.  
This offset may be programmed to the offset register. It  
is important to note that if more than one offset must be  
considered, the algebraic sum of these offsets must be  
programmed to the offset register.  
If a discrete transistor is being used with the ADT7461,  
the best accuracy is obtained by choosing devices according  
to the following criteria:  
Base-emitter voltage greater than 0.25 V at 6 mA, at the  
highest operating temperature.  
Base-emitter voltage less than 0.95 V at 100 mA, at the  
lowest operating temperature.  
The construction of a filter allows the ADT7461 and the  
remote temperature sensor to operate in noisy environments.  
Figure 22 shows a low-pass R-C-R filter with the following  
values:  
Base resistance less than 100 W.  
Small variation in h (50 to 150) that indicates tight  
FE  
control of V characteristics.  
R = 100 W and C = 1 nF  
BE  
Transistors, such as the 2N3904, 2N3906, or equivalents  
in SOT-23 packages are suitable devices to use.  
This filtering reduces both common-mode noise and  
differential noise.

Thermal Inertia and Self-Heating  
5 MIL

Accuracy depends on the temperature of the remote  
sensing diode and/or the internal temperature sensor being  
at the same temperature as the environment being measured;  
many factors can affect this. Ideally, the sensor should be in  
good thermal contact with the part of the system being  
measured. If it is not, the thermal inertia caused by the  
sensor’s mass causes a lag in the response of the sensor to a  
temperature change. With a remote sensor, this should not be  
a problem since it will be either a substrate transistor in the  
processor or a small package device, such as the SOT-23,  
placed in close proximity to it.

The on-chip sensor, however, is often remote from the  
processor and only monitors the general ambient  
temperature around the package. The thermal time constant  
of the SOIC-8 package in still air is about 140 seconds, and  
if the ambient air temperature quickly changed by 100  
degrees, it would take about 12 minutes (5 time constants)  
for the junction temperature of the ADT7461 to settle within  
1 degree of this. In practice, the ADT7461 package is in  
electrical, and hence thermal, contact with a PCB and may  
also be in a forced airflow. How accurately the temperature  
of the board and/or the forced airflow reflects the  
temperature to be measured also affects the accuracy.  
Self-heating due to the power dissipated in the ADT7461 or  
the remote sensor causes the chip temperature of the device  
or remote sensor to rise above ambient. However, the current  
forced through the remote sensor is so small that self-heating  
is negligible. With the ADT7461, the worst-case condition  
occurs when the device is converting at 64 conversions per  
second while sinking the maximum current of 1 mA at the  
ALERT and THERM output. In this case, the total power  
dissipation in the device is about 4.5 mW. The thermal  
3. Try to minimize the number of copper/solder  
joints that can cause thermocouple effects. Where  
copper/solder joints are used, make sure that they  
are in both the D+ and Dpath and at the same  
temperature.  
Thermocouple effects should not be a major  
problem as 1°C corresponds to about 200 mV, and  
thermocouple voltages are about 3 mV/°C of  
temperature difference. Unless there are two  
thermocouples with a big temperature differential  
between them, thermocouple voltages should be  
much less than 200 mV.  
4. Place a 0.1 mF bypass capacitor close to the V  
DD  
pin. In extremely noisy environments, an input filter  
capacitor may be placed across D+ and Dclose to  
the ADT7461. This capacitance can effect the  
temperature measurement, so care must be taken to  
ensure any capacitance seen at D+ and Dis a  
maximum of 1,000 pF. This maximum value  
includes the filter capacitance plus any cable or stray  
capacitance between the pins and the sensor diode.  
5. If the distance to the remote sensor is more than  
8 inches, the use of twisted pair cable is  
resistance, q , of the SOIC-8 package is about 121°C/W.  
JA  
Layout Considerations  
recommended. This works up to about 6 to 12 feet.  
For extremely long distances (up to 100 feet), use  
a shielded twisted pair, such as the Belden No.  
8451 microphone cable. Connect the twisted pair  
to D+ and Dand the shield to GND close to the  
ADT7461. Leave the remote end of the shield  
unconnected to avoid ground loops.  
Digital boards can be electrically noisy environments, and  
the ADT7461 is measuring very small voltages from the  
remote sensor, so care must be taken to minimize noise  
induced at the sensor inputs. The following precautions  
should be taken:  
1. Place the ADT7461 as close as possible to the  
remote sensing diode. Provided the worst noise  
sources, such as clock generators, data/address  
buses, and CRTs, are avoided, this distance can be  
4 inches to 8 inches.  
2. Route the D+ and D– tracks close together, in  
parallel, with grounded guard tracks on each side.  
To minimize inductance and reduce noise pick-up, a  
5 mil track width and spacing is recommended.  
Provide a ground plane under the tracks if possible.  
Because the measurement technique uses switched  
current sources, excessive cable or filter capacitance can  
affect the measurement. When using long cables, the filter  
capacitance may be reduced or removed.  
Application Circuit  
Figure 24 shows a typical application circuit for the  
ADT7461 using a discrete sensor transistor connected via a  
shielded, twisted pair cable. The pull-ups on SCLK, SDATA,  
and ALERT are required only if they are not already provided  
elsewhere in the system.  
The SCLK and SDATA pins of the ADT7461 can be  
interfaced directly to the SMBus of an I/O controller, such  
R
as the Intel 820 chipset.
