MIC280 Datasheet (Microchip) - Precision IttyBitty Thermal Supervisor

MIC280, Precision IttyBitty Thermal Supervisor

The MIC280 is a digital thermal supervisor capable of measuring its own internal temperature and that of a remote PN junction.

The remote junction may be an inexpensive commodity transistor (e.g., 2N3906) or an embedded thermal diode such as those found in Intel Pentium® II/III/IV CPUs, AMD Athlon®

MIC280 Features

* Measures Local and Remote Temperature

* Highly Accurate Remote Sensing: ±1°C max., +60°C to +100°C

* Superior Noise Immunity for Reduced Temperature Guardbands

* 9-bit to 12-bit Temperature Resolution for Remote Zone

* Fault Queues to Further Reduce Nuisance
