Theory of Operation
The ADT7482 is a local and 2 remote temperature sensor
and overtemperature/undertemperature alarm. When the
ADT7482 is operating normally, the on-board ADC operates
in a free-running mode. The analog input multiplexer
alternately selects either the on-chip temperature sensor to
measure its local temperature or either of the remote
temperature sensors. The ADC digitizes these signals and the
results are stored in the local, Remote 1, and Remote 2
temperature value registers.
The local and remote measurement results are compared
with the corresponding high, low, and THERM
temperature
limits, stored in on-chip registers. Out-of-limit comparisons
generate flags that are stored in the status register. A result that
exceeds the high temperature limit, the low temperature limit,
or a remote diode open circuit causes the ALERT
output to
assert low. Exceeding THERM
temperature limits causes the
THERM
output to assert low. The ALERT output can be
reprogrammed as a second THERM
output.
The limit registers can be programmed, and the device
controlled and configured, via the serial SMBus. The
contents of any register can also be read back via the SMBus.
Control and configuration functions consist of switching
the device between normal operation and standby mode,
selecting the temperature measurement scale, masking or
enabling the ALERT
output, switching Pin 8 between
ALERT
and THERM2, and selecting the conversion rate.
Series Resistance Cancellation
Parasitic resistance to the D+ and D inputs to the
ADT7482, seen in series with the remote diode, is caused by
a variety of factors, including PCB track resistance and track
length. This series resistance appears as a temperature offset
in the remote sensor temperature measurement. This error
typically causes a 0.5C offset per ohm of parasitic resistance
in series with the remote diode.
The ADT7482 automatically cancels out the effect of this
series resistance on the temperature reading, providing a more
accurate result, without the need for user characterization of
this resistance. The ADT7482 is designed to automatically
cancel typically up to 1.5 kW of resistance. By using an
advanced temperature measurement method, this is
transparent to the user. This feature allows resistances to be
added to the sensor path to produce a filter, allowing the part
to be used in noisy environments. See the Noise Filtering
section for more details.
Temperature Measurement Method
A simple method of measuring temperature is to exploit
the negative temperature coefficient of a diode, measuring
the base-emitter voltage (V
BE
) of a transistor operated at
constant current. However, this technique requires
calibration to null out the effect of the absolute value of V
BE
,
which varies from device to device.
The technique used in the ADT7482 is to measure the
change in V
BE
when the device is operated at three different
currents. Previous devices have used only two operating
currents. The use of a third current allows automatic
cancellation of resistances in series with the external
temperature sensor.
Figure 15 shows the input signal conditioning used to
measure the output of an external temperature sensor. This
figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but
it could equally be a discrete transistor. If a discrete
transistor is used, the collector is not grounded and should
be linked to the base. To prevent ground noise from
interfering with the measurement, the more negative
terminal of the sensor is not referenced to ground, but is
biased above ground by an internal diode at the D input.
Capacitor C1 can be added as a noise filter (a recommended
maximum value of 1,000 pF). However, a better option in
noisy environments is to add a filter, as described in the
Noise Filtering section. See the Layout Considerations
section for more information.
To measure DV
BE
, the operating current through the
sensor is switched among three related currents. Shown in
Figure 15, N1 I and N2 I are different multiples of the
current, I. The currents through the temperature diode are
switched between I and N1 I, giving DV
BE1
, and then
between I and N2 I, giving DV
BE2
. The temperature can
then be calculated using the two DV
BE
measurements. This
method can also be shown to cancel the effect of any series
resistance on the temperature measurement.
The resulting DV
BE
waveforms are passed through a
65 kHz low-pass filter to remove noise and then to a
chopper-stabilized amplifier. This amplifies and rectifies the
waveform to produce a dc voltage proportional to DV
BE
. The
ADC digitizes this voltage and a temperature measurement is
produced. To reduce the effects of noise, digital filtering is
performed by averaging the results of 16 measurement cycles
for low conversion rates. At rates of 16, 32, and
64 conversions/second, no digital averaging takes place.
Signal conditioning and measurement of the internal
temperature sensor are performed in the same manner.

Temperature Measurement Results
The results of the local and remote temperature
measurements are stored in the local and remote temperature
value registers and are compared with limits programmed
into the local and remote high and low limit registers.
The local temperature measurement is an 8-bit measurement
with 1C resolution. The remote temperature measurements
are 10-bit measurements, with the 8 MSBs stored in one
register and the 2 LSBs stored in another register. Table 6 is a
list of the temperature measurement registers.
Table 6. REGISTER ADDRESS FOR THE
TEMPERATURE VALUES

MSBs
Register Address,
LSBs
Local 0x00 N/A
Remote 1 0x01 0x10 (2 MSBs)
Remote 2 0x30 0x33 (2 MSBs)
Set Bit 3 of the Configuration 1 register to 1, to read the
Remote 2 temperature values from the following register
addresses:
Remote 2, MSBs = 0x01
Remote 2, LSBs = 0x10
The above is true only when Bit 3 of the Configuration 1
register is set. To read the Remote 1 temperatures, switch
this bit back to 0.
Only the two MSBs in the remote temperature low byte
are used. This gives the remote temperature measurement a
resolution of 0.25C. Table 7 shows the data format for the
remote temperature low byte.
Table 7. EXTENDED TEMPERATURE RESOLUTION
(REMOTE TEMPERATURE LOW BYTE)
Extended Resolution
Remote Temperature
Low Byte
0.00C 0 000 0000
0.25C 0 100 0000
0.50C 1 000 0000
0.75C 1 100 0000
When reading the full remote temperature value, both the
high and low byte, the two registers should be read LSB first
and then MSB. Reading the LSB causes the MSB to be
locked until it is read. This guarantees that the two values are
read as a result of the same temperature measurement.
Temperature Measurement Range
The temperature measurement range for both local and
remote measurements is, by default, 0C to +127C.
However, the ADT7482 can be operated using an extended
temperature range. It can measure the full temperature range
of a remote thermal diode, from 55C to +150C. Switch
between these two temperature ranges by setting or clearing
Bit 2 in the Configuration 1 register. A valid result is
available in the next measurement cycle after changing the
temperature range.
In extended temperature mode, the upper and lower
temperature measured by the ADT7482 is limited by the
remote diode selection. The temperature registers
themselves can have values from 64C to +191C.
However, most temperature-sensing diodes have a
maximum temperature range of 55C to +150C.
Note that while both local and remote temperature
measurements can be made while the part is in extended
temperature mode, the ADT7482 itself should not be
exposed to temperatures greater than those specified in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section. Further, the device is
only guaranteed to operate as specified at ambient
temperatures from 40C to +120C.
Temperature Data Format
When the measurement range is in extended mode, an
offset binary data format is used for both local and remote
results. Temperature values in the offset binary data format
are offset by +64. Examples of temperatures in both data
formats are shown in Table 8.
Switching between measurement ranges can be done at
any time. Switching the range also switches the data format.
The next temperature result following the switching is
reported back to the register in the new format. However, the
contents of the limit registers do not change. Ensure that
when the data format changes, the limit registers are
reprogrammed as necessary. For more information, refer to
the Limit Registers section.

The ADT7482 has two temperature data formats. When
the temperature measurement range is from 0C to 127C
(default), the temperature data format for both local and
remote temperature results is binary.

1. Offset binary scale temperature values are offset by +64.
2. Binary scale temperature measurement returns 0 for all
temperatures < 0C.
3. Binary scale temperature measurement returns 127 for all
temperatures > 127C.
Registers
The registers in the ADT7482 are 8-bits wide. These
registers are used to store the results of remote and local
temperature measurements and high and low temperature
limits and to configure and control the device. A description
of these registers follows.
Address Pointer Register
The address pointer register itself does not have, or
require, an address, as the first byte of every write operation
is automatically written to this register. The data in this first
byte always contains the address of another register on the
ADT7482, which is stored in the address pointer register. It
is to this register address that the second byte of a write
operation is written to or to which a subsequent read
operation is performed.
The power-on default value of the address pointer register
is 0x00. Therefore, if a read operation is performed
immediately after power-on, without first writing to the
address pointer, the value of the local temperature is
returned, since its register address is 0x00.
Configuration Registers
There are two configuration registers used to control the
operation of the ADT7482. Configuration 1 register is at
Address 0x03 for reads and Address 0x09 for writes. See
Table 9 for details regarding the operation of this register.
Configuration 2 Register is at Address 0x24 for both reads
and writes. Setting Bit 7 of this register locks all lockable
registers. The affected registers can only be modified if the
ADT7482 is powered down and powered up again. See
Table 16 for a list of the registers affected by the lock bit.
Temperature Value Registers
The ADT7482 has five registers to store the results of
local and remote temperature measurements. These
registers can only be written to by the ADC and can be read
over the SMBus.
The local temperature value register is at Address 0x00.
The Remote 1 temperature value high byte register is at
Address 0x01; the Remote 1 low byte register is at
Address 0x10.
The Remote 2 temperature value high byte register is at
Address 0x30; the Remote 2 low byte register is at
Address 0x33.
The Remote 2 temperature values can be read from
Addresses 0x01 for the high byte and Address 0x10 for
the low byte if Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 is set
to 1.
To read the Remote 1 temperature values, set Bit 3 of
Configuration Register 1 to 0.
The power-on default for all five registers is 0x00.
Table 9. CONFIGURATION 1 REGISTER (READ ADDRESS 0x03, WRITE ADDRESS 0x09)
Bit Mnemonic Function
7 Mask Setting this bit to 1 masks all ALERTs on the ALERT pin. Default = 0 = ALERT enabled. This applies only if Pin 8 is
configured as ALERT
, otherwise it has no effect.
6 Mon/STBY Setting this bit to 1 places the ADT7482 in standby mode, that is, it suspends all temperature measurements
(ADC). The SMBus remains active and values can be written to, and read from, the registers. THERM
and ALERT
are also active in standby mode. Changes made to the limit registers in standby mode that effect the THERM or
ALERT outputs cause these signals to be updated. Default = 0 = temperature monitoring enabled.
5 AL/TH This bit selects the function of Pin 8. Default = 0 = ALERT. Setting this bit to 1 configures Pin 8 as the THERM2 pin.
4 Reserved Reserved for future use.
3 Remote 1
/Remote2
Setting this bit to 1 enables the user to read the Remote 2 values from the Remote 1 registers. When default = 0,
Remote 1 temperature values and limits are read from these registers.
2 Te mp
Range
Setting this bit to 1 enables the extended temperature measurement range of 50C to +150C.
Default = 0 = 0C to +127C.
1 Mask R1 Setting this bit to 1 masks ALERTs due to the Remote 1 temperature exceeding a programmed limit. Default = 0.
0 Mask R2 Setting this bit to 1 masks ALERTs due to the Remote 2 temperature exceeding a programmed limit. Default = 0.
