PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ADT7461 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 k (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 measure the temperature of a remote ther-
mal diode accurate to ±1°C, and the ambient temperature accu-
rate to ±3°C. The temperature measurement range defaults to
0°C to +127°C, compatible with ADM1032, but can be switched
to a wider measurement range, from 55°C to +150°C. The
ADT7461 communicates over a 2-wire serial interface compati-
ble 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.
