±1°C Fail-Safe Remote/Local Temperature Sensors with SMBus Interface
General Description
The MAX6680/MAX6681 are precise, two-channel digital thermometers. Each accurately measures the temperature of its own die and one remote PN junction and reports the temperature on a 2-wire serial interface. The remote junction can be a diode-connected transistor like the low-cost NPN type 2N3904 or PNP type 2N3906. The remote junction can also be a commoncollector PNP, such as a substrate PNP of a microprocessor. The MAX6680/MAX6681 include pin-programmable default temperature thresholds for the OVERT output, which provides fail-safe clock throttling or system shutdown.
