________________General Description
The MAX1668/MAX1805/MAX1989 are precise multi-
channel digital thermometers that report the tempera-
ture of all remote sensors and their own packages. The
remote sensors are diode-connected transistorstypi-
cally low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN typesthat
replace conventional thermistors or thermocouples.
Remote accuracy is ?癈 for multiple transistor manu-
facturers, with no calibration needed. The remote chan-
nels can also measure the die temperature of other ICs,
such as microprocessors, that contain an on-chip,
diode-connected transistor.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard system
management bus (SMBus") write byte, read byte, send
byte, and receive byte commands to program the alarm
thresholds and to read temperature data. The data for-
mat is 7 bits plus sign, with each bit corresponding to
1癈, in twos-complement format.
The MAX1668/MAX1805/MAX1989 are available in
small, 16-pin QSOP surface-mount packages. The
MAX1989 is also available in a 16-pin TSSOP.
