FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction (REC), Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes requiring the BJT/transistor model including 65nm and lower geometry processors) and automatic diode type detection combine to provide a robust solution for complex environmental monitoring applications. REC automatically eliminates the temperature error caused by series resistance allowing greater flexibility in routing thermal diodes. Frequency hopping* and analog filters ensure remote diode traces can be as far as eight (8) inches without degrading the signal. Beta Compensation eliminates temperature errors caused by low, variable beta transistors common in today's fine geometry processors. The automatic beta detection feature monitors the external diode/transistor and determines the optimum sensor settings for accurate temperature measurements regardless of processor technology. This frees the user from providing unique sensor configurations for each temperature monitoring application.
