Thermal Sensor
The thermal sensor in the 9TCS1085 is a low power and highly accurate temperature sensor. It is optimized to operate
between 60°C to 100°C with an external thermal diode connection input. There are diode faults and temperature alerts for
the thermal sensor; Moreover, the thermal sensor has the capability to go into standby mode for power savings.
The temperature sensor's analog to digital converter (ADC) has 11 bits of resolution. One LSB is equal to 0.125°C. The
accuracy of the temperature sensor is ±1°C between 60°C to 100°C.
The 9TCS1085 temperature sensor has the ability to cancel the series resistance on the remote diode inputs. Parasitic
resistances to the DXP and DXN inputs seen in series with the remote diode are caused by PCB trace resistance along with
the overall length, bulk parasitic resistance in the remote temperature transistor junctions, and series resistance in the CPU.
This resistance appears as a temperature offset in the thermal sensor measurement and is approximately +0.7°C per Ohm.
The 9TCS1085 has the ability to cancel up to 100Ω of series resistance.
The thermal sensor in 9TCS1085 outputs the measured temperature from a beta compensated temperature reading from
an external diode. The temperature sensor architecture uses an on-chip ADC as shown to convert the analog temperature
into an 11-bit digital code. Using averaging techniques along with the ADC architecture allows accurate temperature
measurements. The ability to have programmable conversion rates and adjustable averaging schemes allow the user the
flexibility to balance accuracy versus conversion speed per the system requirements.
The temperature measurement relies on the characteristics of a semiconductor junction operating at a fixed current level.
Forcing a fixed current through the temperature diodes and detecting the changes in VBE, the forward voltage of the diode,
the temperature proportionality can be determined.

When the thermal sensor is used in a noisy environment, a capacitor can be connected across DXP and DXN to provide
some noise filtering capabilities. However, large capacitances affect the accuracy of the temperature measurement. A
maximum capacitance of 300pF can be used to help mitigate the noise.
Thermal Diode Fault Conditions
9TCS1085 has the ability to detect an open or a short condition for each temperature sensor diode. An external diode fault
is defined as one of the following:
An open between DXP and DXN
A short from VDD to DXP
A short from VDD to DXN
The diode fault monitoring is enabled at the start of every temperature measurement. When an external diode fault is
detected, the ALERT# pin asserts and the temperature data reads 00h in the MSB and LSB of the corresponding
temperature registers:
DX1 MSB - byte[17], bit[2:0]
DX1 LSB - byte[16], bit[7:0]
During the fault condition, byte[13], bit[1] or bit[0], will be set depending on the channel that has the fault. Bit[1] corresponds
to DX1, and furthermore, an open/short fault flag will be set in register byte[14], bit[4].

Temperature Threshold Alerts
Through register writes, the high and low temperature limits
can be set such that it will trigger an alert. This alert can be
monitored through the registers or can be sent to the
ALERT# pin. Each channel has its own programmable
register to set the thresholds as follows:
(1) High Temperature Alert (default 127°C)
Where byte[0] is the high temperature alert for DX1.
(2) Low Temperature Alert (default 127°C)
Where byte[3] is the low alert for DX1, byte[4] is for DX2.
Temperature Threshold Alert Status
When a temperature threshold alert is activated, a status
indicator bit is also set. Register byte[14], bit[6:5] will be set
depending on the high or low alert. Bit[6] is the high and
bit[5] is the low alert flag. To clear the alert, register
byte[15], bit[7] needs to be written with a "1". Writing this bit
will also clear the critical thermal warnings.
Temperature Threshold ALERT# Pin
The temperature threshold alerts are sent to the ALERT#
pin. To mask this alert being sent to the ALERT# pin, set
register byte[12], bit[7] to logic 1.
Consecutive Alerts
The number of temperature threshold alerts before the
assertion of the ALERT# pin can be set by the user through
register byte[6], bit[3:2] as follows:
Temperature Threshold Alert Alarm Register
All three temperature channels have a readable registers,
byte[13], bit[7:2] that is set when a temperature threshold
alert has occurred. Bit[3:2] is for temperature high and low
thresholds.
Critical Thermal Warnings
The 9TCS1085 will have register programmable critical
thermal threshold warnings for all three temperature sensor
channels. Similar to the temperature threshold alerts, the
critical high temperatures can be set such that a warning
can be dispatched to the THERM# pin and the readable
registers. The thermal warnings also have programmable
hysteresis. Each channel has its own programmable
register to set the thresholds as follows:
(1) Critical Thermal Warning (default 127°C)
Where byte[7] is the critical thermal warning for DX1.
Byte[2:0], Bit[7:0] Temperature
Bit[7] Sign Bit
Bit[6] 64°C
Bit[5] 32°C
Bit[4] 16°C
