Configuration
The MAX6621 has four configuration registers (Table 1).
CONFIG0 is the main configuration register that enables
the PECI sockets, I
2
C bus timeout, PEC, alert activation,
and polling delay. CONFIG1 sets the number of retries,
CONFIG2 sets the temperature offset, and CONFIG3
controls the temperature averaging. You can write to
the configuration registers to set the configuration or
read from the configuration registers to get the current
settings.
Detailed Description
The MAX6621 obtains temperature data from an inter-
nal temperature sensor in PECI-compliant hosts. Up to
four PECI hosts can be connected to the PECI I/O inter-
face. The MAX6621 handles all the PECI transmissions
and uses a 2-wire, I
2
C-compatible serial interface to
communicate with the PECI host.
