ADT7481

Dual Channel Temperature

Sensor and Overtemperature

Alarm

The ADT7481 is a 3−channel digital thermometer and under/ over

temperature alarm, intended for use in PCs and thermal management

systems. It can measure its own ambient temperature or the

temperature of two remote thermal diodes. These thermal diodes can

be located in a CPU or GPU, or they can be discrete diode connected

transistors. The ambient temperature, or the temperature of the remote

thermal diode, can be accurately measured to

±1°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

−64

°C to +191°C.

The ADT7481 communicates over a 2−wire serial interface

compatible with System Management Bus (SMBus) standards. The

SMBus address of the ADT7481 is 0x4C. An ADT7481−1 with an

SMBus address of 0x4B is also available.

An ALERT output signals when the on−chip or remote temperature

is outside the programmed limits. The THERM output is a comparator

output that allows, for example, on/off control of a cooling fan. The

ALERT output can be reconfigured as a second THERM output if

required.
