EMC1183
Triple Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with Beta
Compensation and 1.8V SMBus Communications
PRODUCT FEATURES Datasheet General Description Applications The EMC1183 is a high accuracy, low cost, 1.8V System
Management Bus (SMBus) compatible temperature sensor.
Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction (REC),
Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes requiring the
BJT/transistor model including 65nm and lower geometry
processors) and automatic diode type detection combine to
provide a robust solution for complex environmental monitoring
applications. The ability to communicate at 1.8V SMBus levels
provides compatible I/O for the advanced processors found in
today’s tablet and smartphone applications. The EMC1183 monitors three temperature channels (two
external and one internal), providing ±1°C accuracy for both
external and internal diode temperatures.
REC automatically eliminates the temperature error caused by
series resistance allowing greater flexibility in routing thermal
diodes. Frequency hopping* and analog filters ensure remote
diode traces can be as far as eight (8) inches without degrading
the signal. Beta Compensation eliminates temperature errors
caused by low, variable beta transistors common in today's fine
geometry processors. The automatic beta detection feature
monitors the external diode/transistor and determines the …
