GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADT7461
1
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 kΩ
(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.
The SMBus address of the ADT7461 is 0x4C. An ADT7461-2
is also available, which uses SMBus Address 0x4D.
