PRODUCT FEATURES
EMC1412
Multiple Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with
Beta Compensation
General Description
The EMC1412 is a high accuracy, low cost, System
Management Bus (SMBus) temperature sensor.
Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction
(REC), Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes
requiring the BJT/transistor model) and automatic diode
type detection combine to provide a robust solution for
complex environmental monitoring applications.
The EMC1412 monitors two temperature channels (one
external and one internal). It provides ±1°C accuracy for
both external and internal diode temperatures.
Resistance Error Correction automatically eliminates the
temperature error caused by series resistance allowing
greater flexibility in routing thermal diodes. 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 optimum sensor settings for accurate
temperature measurements regardless of processor
technology. This frees the user from providing unique
sensor configurations for each temperature monitoring
application. These advanced features plus ±1°C
measurement accuracy provide a low-cost, highly
flexible and accurate solution for critical temperature
monitoring applications.

Chapter 5 System Management Bus Interface Protocol
5.1 Communications Protocol
The EMC1412 communicates with a host controller, such as a Microchip SIO, through the SMBus. The
SMBus is a two-wire serial communication protocol between a computer host and its peripheral
devices. A detailed timing diagram is shown in Figure 5.1.
For the first 15ms after power-up the device may not respond to SMBus communications.
.
5.1.1 SMBus Start Bit
The SMBus Start bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘1’ state to a logic
‘0’ state while the SMBus Clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state.
5.1.2 SMBus Address and RD / WR Bit
The SMBus Address Byte consists of the 7-bit client address followed by the RD / WR indicator bit. If
this RD / WR bit is a logic ‘0’, the SMBus Host is writing data to the client device. If this RD / WR bit
is a logic ‘1’, the SMBus Host is reading data from the client device.
The EMC1412-A SMBus slave address is determined by the pull-up resistor on the THERM pin as
shown in Table 5.1, "SMBus Address Decode".
The Address decode is performed by pulling known currents from VDD through the external resistor
causing the pin voltage to drop based on the respective current / resistor relationship. This pin voltage
is compared against a threshold that determines the value of the pull-up resistor.

Multiple Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with Beta Compensation
Data Sheet
DS20005273A-page 14 2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
The EMC1412-1 SMBus address is hard coded to 1001_100(r/w).
The EMC1412-2 SMBus address is hard coded to 1001_101(r/w).
5.1.3 THERM Pin Considerations
Because of the decode method used to determine the SMBus Address, it is important that the pull-up
resistance on the THERM pin be within the tolerances shown in Tab le 5.1. Additionally, the pull-up
resistor on the THERM pin must be connected to the same 3.3V supply that drives the VDD pin.
For 15ms after power up, the THERM pin must not be pulled low or the SMBus address will not be
decoded properly. If the system requirements do not permit these conditions, the THERM pin must be
isolated from its hard-wired OR’d bus during this time.
One method of isolating this pin is shown in Figure 5.2.
5.1.4 SMBus Data Bytes
All SMBus Data bytes are sent most significant bit first and composed of 8-bits of information.
5.1.5 SMBus ACK and NACK Bits
The SMBus client will acknowledge all data bytes that it receives. This is done by the client device
pulling the SMBus data line low after the 8th bit of each byte that is transmitted. This applies to the
Write Byte protocol.
The Host will NACK (not acknowledge) the last data byte to be received from the client by holding the
SMBus data line high after the 8th data bit has been sent.

5.1.6 SMBus Stop Bit
The SMBus Stop bit is defined as a transition of the SMBus Data line from a logic ‘0’ state to a logic
‘1’ state while the SMBus clock line is in a logic ‘1’ state. When the device detects an SMBus Stop bit
and it has been communicating with the SMBus protocol, it will reset its client interface and prepare
to receive further communications.
5.1.7 SMBus Timeout
The EMC1412 supports SMBus Timeout. If the clock line is held low for longer than 30ms, the device
will reset its SMBus protocol. This function can be enabled by setting the TIMEOUT bit in the
Consecutive Alert Register (see Section 7.11).
5.1.8 SMBus and I2C Compatibility
The EMC1412 is compatible with SMBus and I2C. The major differences between SMBus and I2C
devices are highlighted here. For more information, refer to the SMBus 2.0 and I2C specifications. For
information on using the EMC1412 in an I2C system, refer to AN 14.0 Dedicated Slave Devices in I2C
Systems.
1. EMC1412 supports I2C fast mode at 400kHz. This covers the SMBus max time of 100kHz.
2. Minimum frequency for SMBus communications is 10kHz.
3. The SMBus client protocol will reset if the clock is held at a logic ‘0’ for longer than 30ms. This
timeout functionality is disabled by default in the EMC1412 and can be enabled by writing to the
TIMEOUT bit. I2C does not have a timeout.
4. I2C devices do not support the Alert Response Address functionality (which is optional for SMBus).
Attempting to communicate with the EMC1412 SMBus interface with an invalid slave address or invalid
protocol will result in no response from the device and will not affect its register contents. Stretching
of the SMCLK signal is supported, provided other devices on the SMBus control the timing.
5.2 SMBus Protocols
The device supports Send Byte, Read Byte, Write Byte, Receive Byte, and the Alert Response Address
as valid protocols as shown below.
All of the below protocols use the convention in Table 5.2.
5.2.1 Write Byte
The Write Byte is used to write one byte of data to the registers, as shown in Table 5.3.

5.2.2 Read Byte
The Read Byte protocol is used to read one byte of data from the registers as shown in Table 5.4.
5.2.3 Send Byte
The Send Byte protocol is used to set the internal address register pointer to the correct address
location. No data is transferred during the Send Byte protocol as shown in Table 5.5.
5.2.4 Receive Byte
The Receive Byte protocol is used to read data from a register when the internal register address
pointer is known to be at the right location (e.g. set via Send Byte). This is used for consecutive reads
of the same register as shown in Table 5.6.
5.3 Alert Response Address
The ALERT output can be used as a processor interrupt or as an SMBus Alert.
When it detects that the ALERT pin is asserted, the host will send the Alert Response Address (ARA)
to the general address of 0001_100xb. All devices with active interrupts will respond with their client
address as shown in Table 5.7.

The EMC1412 will respond to the ARA in the following way:
1. Send Slave Address and verify that full slave address was sent (i.e. the SMBus communication
from the device was not prematurely stopped due to a bus contention event).
2. Set the MASK bit to clear the ALERT pin.
APPLICATION NOTE: The ARA does not clear the Status Register and if the MASK bit is cleared prior to the Status
Register being cleared, the ALERT pin will be reasserted.

Chapter 6 Product Description
The EMC1412 is an SMBus temperature sensor. The EMC1412 monitors one internal diode and one
externally connected temperature diode.
Thermal management is performed in cooperation with a host device. This consists of the host reading
the temperature data of both the external and internal temperature diodes of the EMC1412 and using
that data to control the speed of one or more fans.
The EMC1412 has two levels of monitoring. The first provides a maskable ALERT signal to the host
when the measured temperatures exceeds user programmable limits. This allows the EMC1412 to be
used as an independent thermal watchdog to warn the host of temperature hot spots without direct
control by the host. The second level of monitoring provides a non maskable interrupt on the THERM
pin if the measured temperatures meet or exceed a second programmable limit.
Figure 6.1 shows a system level block diagram of the EMC1412.
6.1 Modes of Operation
The EMC1412 has two modes of operation.
Active (Run) - In this mode of operation, the ADC is converting on all temperature channels at the
programmed conversion rate. The temperature data is updated at the end of every conversion and
the limits are checked. In Active mode, writing to the one-shot register will do nothing.
Standby (Stop) - In this mode of operation, the majority of circuitry is powered down to reduce
supply current. The temperature data is not updated and the limits are not checked. In this mode
of operation, the SMBus is fully active and the part will return requested data. Writing to the one-
shot register will enable the device to update all temperature channels. Once all the channels are
updated, the device will return to the Standby mode.
6.1.1 Conversion Rates
The EMC1412 may be configured for different conversion rates based on the system requirements.
The conversion rate is configured as described in Section 7.5. The default conversion rate is 4
conversions per second. Other available conversion rates are shown in Table 7.6, "Conversion Rate".
Figure 6.1 System Diagram for EMC1412
Multiple Channel 1°C Temperature Sensor with Beta Compensation
Data Sheet
2014 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20005273A-page 19
6.1.2 Dynamic Averaging
Dynamic averaging causes the EMC1412 to measure the external diode channels for an extended time
based on the selected conversion rate. This functionality can be disabled for increased power savings
at the lower conversion rates (see Section 7.4, "Configuration Register"). When dynamic averaging is
enabled, the device will automatically adjust the sampling and measurement time for the external diode
channels. This allows the device to average 2x or 16x longer than the normal 11 bit operation
(nominally 21ms per channel) while still maintaining the selected conversion rate. The benefits of
dynamic averaging are improved noise rejection due to the longer integration time as well as less
random variation of the temperature measurement.
When enabled, the dynamic averaging applies when a one-shot command is issued. The device will
perform the desired averaging during the one-shot operation according to the selected conversion rate.
When enabled, the dynamic averaging will affect the average supply current based on the chosen
conversion rate as shown in Table 6.1.
6.2 THERM Output
The THERM output is asserted independently of the ALERT output and cannot be masked. Whenever
any of the measured temperatures exceed the user programmed Therm Limit values for the
programmed number of consecutive measurements, the THERM output is asserted. Once it has been
asserted, it will remain asserted until all measured temperatures drop below the Therm Limit minus
the Therm Hysteresis (also programmable).
When the THERM pin is asserted, the THERM status bits will likewise be set. Reading these bits will
not clear them until the THERM pin is deasserted. Once the THERM pin is deasserted, the THERM
status bits will be automatically cleared.

6.3 ALERT Output
The ALERT pin is an open drain output and requires a pull-up resistor to VDD and has two modes of
operation: interrupt mode and comparator mode. The mode of the ALERT output is selected via the
ALERT / COMP bit in the Configuration Register (see Section 7.4).
6.3.1 ALERT Pin Interrupt Mode
When configured to operate in interrupt mode, the ALERT pin asserts low when an out of limit
measurement (> high limit or < low limit) is detected on any diode or when a diode fault is detected.
The ALERT pin will remain asserted as long as an out-of-limit condition remains. Once the out-of-limit
condition has been removed, the ALERT pin will remain asserted until the appropriate status bits are
cleared.
The ALERT pin can be masked by setting the MASK_ALL bit. Once the ALERT pin has been masked,
it will be de-asserted and remain de-asserted until the MASK_ALL bit is cleared by the user. Any
interrupt conditions that occur while the ALERT pin is masked will update the Status Register normally.
There are also individual channel masks (see Section 7.10).
The ALERT pin is used as an interrupt signal or as an SMBus Alert signal that allows an SMBus slave
to communicate an error condition to the master. One or more ALERT outputs can be hard-wired
together.
6.3.2 ALERT Pin Comparator Mode
When the ALERT pin is configured to operate in comparator mode, it will be asserted if any of the
measured temperatures exceeds the respective high limit. The ALERT pin will remain asserted until
all temperatures drop below the corresponding high limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
When the ALERT pin is asserted in comparator mode, the corresponding high limit status bits will be
set. Reading these bits will not clear them until the ALERT pin is deasserted. Once the ALERT pin is
deasserted, the status bits will be automatically cleared.
The MASK_ALL bit will not block the ALERT pin in this mode; however, the individual channel masks
(see Section 7.10) will prevent the respective channel from asserting the ALERT pin.
6.4 Temperature Measurement
The EMC1412 can monitor the temperature of one externally connected diode. The external diode
channel is configured with Resistance Error Correction and Beta Compensation based on user settings
and system requirements.
The device contains programmable High, Low, and Therm limits for all measured temperature
channels. If the measured temperature goes below the Low limit or above the High limit, the ALERT
pin can be asserted (based on user settings). If the measured temperature meets or exceeds the
Therm Limit, the THERM pin is asserted unconditionally, providing two tiers of temperature detection.
6.4.1 Beta Compensation
The EMC1412 is configured to monitor the temperature of basic diodes (e.g., 2N3904) or CPU thermal
diodes. It automatically detects the type of external diode (CPU diode or diode connected transistor)
and determines the optimal setting to reduce temperature errors introduced by beta variation.
Compensating for this error is also known as implementing the transistor or BJT model for temperature
measurement.
For discrete transistors configured with the collector and base shorted together, the beta is generally
sufficiently high such that the percent change in beta variation is very small. For example, a 10%
variation in beta for two forced emitter currents with a transistor whose ideal beta is 50 would contribute
approximately 0.25°C error at 100°C. However for substrate transistors where the base-emitter junction
is used for temperature measurement and the collector is tied to the substrate, the proportional beta
variation will cause large error. For example, a 10% variation in beta for two forced emitter currents
with a transistor whose ideal beta is 0.5 would contribute approximately 8.25°C error at 100°C.

Data Sheet
2014 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20005273A-page 21
6.4.2 Resistance Error Correction (REC)
Parasitic resistance in series with the external diodes will limit the accuracy obtainable from
temperature measurement devices. The voltage developed across this resistance by the switching
diode currents cause the temperature measurement to read higher than the true temperature.
Contributors to series resistance are PCB trace resistance, on die (i.e. on the processor) metal
resistance, bulk resistance in the base and emitter of the temperature transistor. Typically, the error
caused by series resistance is +0.7°C per ohm. The EMC1412 automatically corrects up to 100 ohms
of series resistance.
6.4.3 Programmable External Diode Ideality Factor
The EMC1412 is designed for external diodes with an ideality factor of 1.008. Not all external diodes,
processor or discrete, will have this exact value. This variation of the ideality factor introduces error in
the temperature measurement which must be corrected for. This correction is typically done using
programmable offset registers. Since an ideality factor mismatch introduces an error that is a function
of temperature, this correction is only accurate within a small range of temperatures. To provide
maximum flexibility to the user, the EMC1412 provides a 6-bit register for each external diode where
the ideality factor of the diode used is programmed to eliminate errors across all temperatures.
APPLICATION NOTE: When monitoring a substrate transistor or CPU diode and beta compensation is enabled, the
Ideality Factor should not be adjusted. Beta Compensation automatically corrects for most
ideality errors.
6.5 Diode Faults
The EMC1412 detects an open on the DP and DN pins, and a short across the DP and DN pins. For
each temperature measurement made, the device checks for a diode fault on the external diode
channel(s). When a diode fault is detected, the ALERT pin asserts (unless masked, see Section 6.6)
and the temperature data reads 00h in the MSB and LSB registers (note: the low limit will not be
checked). A diode fault is defined as one of the following: an open between DP and DN, a short from
VDD to DP, or a short from VDD to DN.
If a short occurs across DP and DN or a short occurs from DP to GND, the low limit status bit is set
and the ALERT pin asserts (unless masked). This condition is indistinguishable from a temperature
measurement of 0.000°C (-64°C in extended range) resulting in temperature data of 00h in the MSB
and LSB registers.
If a short from DN to GND occurs (with a diode connected), temperature measurements will continue
as normal with no alerts.
6.6 Consecutive Alerts
The EMC1412 contain multiple consecutive alert counters. One set of counters applies to the ALERT
pin and the second set of counters applies to the THERM pin. Each temperature measurement channel
has a separate consecutive alert counter for each of the ALERT and THERM pins. All counters are
user programmable and determine the number of consecutive measurements that a temperature
channel(s) must be out-of-limit or reporting a diode fault before the corresponding pin is asserted.
See Section 7.11, "Consecutive ALERT Register" for more details on the consecutive alert function.
6.7 Digital Filter
To reduce the effect of noise and temperature spikes on the reported temperature, the External Diode
channel uses a programmable digital filter. This filter can be configured as Level 1, Level 2, or Disabled
(default) (see Section 7.14). The typical filter performance is shown in Figure 6.2 and Figure 6.3.

6.8 Temperature Measurement Results and Data
The temperature measurement results are stored in the internal and external temperature registers.
These are then compared with the values stored in the high and low limit registers. Both external and
internal temperature measurements are stored in 11-bit format with the eight (8) most significant bits
stored in a high byte register and the three (3) least significant bits stored in the three (3) MSB
positions of the low byte register. All other bits of the low byte register are set to zero.
The EMC1412 has two selectable temperature ranges. The default range is from 0°C to +127°C and
the temperature is represented as binary number able to report a temperature from 0°C to +127.875°C
in 0.125°C steps.
The extended range is an extended temperature range from -64°C to +191°C. The data format is a
binary number offset by 64°C. The extended range is used to measure temperature diodes with a large
known offset (such as AMD processor diodes) where the diode temperature plus the offset would be
equivalent to a temperature higher than +127°C.
Table 6.2 shows the default and extended range formats.
Note 6.1 In default mode, all temperatures < 0°C will be reported as 0°C.
Note 6.2 In the extended range, all temperatures < -64°C will be reported as -64°C.
Note 6.3 For the default range, all temperatures > +127.875°C will be reported as +127.875°C.
Note 6.4 For the extended range, all temperatures > +191.875°C will be reported as +191.875°C.

7.1 Data Read Interlock
When any temperature channel high byte register is read, the corresponding low byte is copied into
an internal ‘shadow’ register. The user is free to read the low byte at any time and be guaranteed that
it will correspond to the previously read high byte. Regardless if the low byte is read or not, reading
from the same high byte register again will automatically refresh this stored low byte data.
7.2 Temperature Data Registers
As shown in Table 7.2, all temperatures are stored as an 11-bit value with the high byte representing
the integer value and the low byte representing the fractional value left justified to occupy the MSBits.
7.3 Status Register
The Status Register reports the operating status of the Internal Diode and External Diode channels.
When any of the bits are set (excluding the BUSY bit) either the ALERT or THERM pin is being
asserted.
The ALERT and THERM pins are controlled by the respective consecutive alert counters (see
Section 7.11) and will not be asserted until the programmed consecutive alert count has been reached.

Bit 2 - RANGE - Configures the measurement range and data format of the temperature channels.
‘0’ (default) - The temperature measurement range is 0°C to +127.875°C and the data format is
binary.
‘1’ -The temperature measurement range is -64°C to +191.875°C and the data format is offset
binary (see Table 6.2).
Bit 1 - DAVG_DIS - Disables the dynamic averaging feature on all temperature channels.
‘0’ (default) - The dynamic averaging feature is enabled. All temperature channels will be converted
with an averaging factor that is based on the conversion rate as shown in Table 6.1.
‘1’ - The dynamic averaging feature is disabled. All temperature channels will be converted with a
maximum averaging factor of 1x (equivalent to 11-bit conversion). For higher conversion rates, this
averaging factor will be reduced as shown in Table 6.1.
7.5 Conversion Rate Register
The Conversion Rate Register controls how often the temperature measurement channels are updated
and compared against the limits. This register is fully accessible at either address.

7.6 Limit Registers
The device contains both high and low limits for all temperature channels. If the measured temperature
exceeds the high limit, then the corresponding status bit is set and the ALERT pin is asserted.
Likewise, if the measured temperature is less than or equal to the low limit, the corresponding status
bit is set and the ALERT pin is asserted.
The data format for the limits must match the selected data format for the temperature so that if the
extended temperature range is used, the limits must be programmed in the extended data format.
The limit registers with multiple addresses are fully accessible at either address.
When the device is in Standby mode, updating the limit registers will have no effect until the next
conversion cycle occurs. This can be initiated via a write to the One Shot Register or by clearing the
RUN / STOP bit in the Configuration Register (see Section 7.4).
7.7 Scratchpad Registers
The Scratchpad Registers are Read / Write registers that are used for place holders to be software
compatible with legacy programs. Reading from the registers will return what is written to them.

7.8 One Shot Register
The One Shot Register is used to initiate a one shot command. Writing to the one shot register when
the device is in standby mode and BUSY bit (in Status Register) is ‘0’, will immediately cause the ADC
to update all temperature measurements. Writing to the One Shot Register while the device is in active
mode will have no effect.
7.9 Therm Limit Registers
The Therm Limit Registers are used to determine whether a critical thermal event has occurred. If the
measured temperature exceeds the Therm Limit, the THERM pin is asserted. The limit setting must
match the chosen data format of the temperature reading registers.
Unlike the ALERT pin, the THERM pin cannot be masked. Additionally, the THERM pin will be released
once the temperature drops below the corresponding threshold minus the Therm Hysteresis.
7.10 Channel Mask Register
The Channel Mask Register controls individual channel masking. When a channel is masked, the
ALERT pin will not be asserted when the masked channel reads a diode fault or out of limit error. The
channel mask does not mask the THERM pin.
Bit 1 - EMASK - Masks the ALERT pin from asserting when the External Diode channel is out of limit
or reports a diode fault.
‘0’ (default) - The External Diode channel will cause the ALERT pin to be asserted if it is out of
limit or reports a diode fault.

‘1’ - The External Diode channel will not cause the ALERT pin to be asserted if it is out of limit or
reports a diode fault.
Bit 0 - INTMASK - Masks the ALERT pin from asserting when the Internal Diode temperature is out
of limit.
‘0’ (default) - The Internal Diode channel will cause the ALERT pin to be asserted if it is out of limit.
‘1’ - The Internal Diode channel will not cause the ALERT pin to be asserted if it is out of limit.
7.11 Consecutive ALERT Register
The Consecutive ALERT Register determines how many times an out-of-limit error or diode fault must
be detected in consecutive measurements before the ALERT or THERM pin is asserted. Additionally,
the Consecutive ALERT Register controls the SMBus Timeout functionality.
An out-of-limit condition (i.e. HIGH, LOW, or FAULT) occurring on the same temperature channel in
consecutive measurements will increment the consecutive alert counter. The counters will also be reset
if no out-of-limit condition or diode fault condition occurs in a consecutive reading.
When the ALERT pin is configured as an interrupt, when the consecutive alert counter reaches its
programmed value, the following will occur: the STATUS bit(s) for that channel and the last error
condition(s) (i.e. EHIGH) will be set to ‘1’, the ALERT pin will be asserted, the consecutive alert counter
will be cleared, and measurements will continue.
When the ALERT pin is configured as a comparator, the consecutive alert counter will ignore diode
fault and low limit errors and only increment if the measured temperature exceeds the High Limit.
Additionally, once the consecutive alert counter reaches the programmed limit, the ALERT pin will be
asserted, but the counter will not be reset. It will remain set until the temperature drops below the High
Limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
For example, if the CALRT[2:0] bits are set for 4 consecutive alerts on an EMC1412 device, the high
limits are set at 70°C, and none of the channels are masked, then the ALERT pin will be asserted after
the following four measurements:
1. Internal Diode reads 71°C and the external diode reads 69°C. Consecutive alert counter for INT is
incremented to 1.
2. Both the Internal Diode and the External Diode read 71°C. Consecutive alert counter for INT is
incremented to 2 and for EXT is set to 1.
3. The External Diode reads 71°C and the Internal Diode read 69°C. Consecutive alert counter for
INT is cleared and EXT is incremented to 2.
4. The Internal Diode reads 71°C and the external diode reads 71°C. Consecutive alert counter for
INT is set to 1 and EXT is incremented to 3.
5. The Internal Diode reads 71°C and the external diode reads 71°C. Consecutive alert counter for
INT is incremented to 2 and EXT is incremented to 4. The appropriate status bits are set for EXT
and the ALERT pin is asserted. EXT counter is reset to 0 and all other counters hold the last value
until the next temperature measurement.
Bit 7 - TIMEOUT - Determines whether the SMBus Timeout function is enabled.
‘0’ (default) - The SMBus Timeout feature is disabled. The SMCLK line can be held low indefinitely
without the device resetting its SMBus protocol.

‘1’ - The SMBus Timeout feature is enabled. If the SMCLK line is held low for more than 30ms,
the device will reset the SMBus protocol.
Bits 6-4 - CTHRM[2:0] - Determines the number of consecutive measurements that must exceed the
corresponding Therm Limit before the THERM pin is asserted. All temperature channels use this value
to set the respective counters. The consecutive Therm counter is incremented whenever any
measurement exceed the corresponding Therm Limit.
If the temperature drops below the Therm Limit, the counter is reset. If a number of consecutive
measurements above the Therm Limit occurs, the THERM pin is asserted low.
Once the THERM pin has been asserted, the consecutive therm counter will not reset until the
corresponding temperature drops below the Therm Limit minus the Therm Hysteresis value.
The bits are decoded as shown in Table 7.13. The default setting is 4 consecutive out of limit
conversions.
Bits 3-1 - CALRT[2:0] - Determine the number of consecutive measurements that must have an out of
limit condition or diode fault before the ALERT pin is asserted. All temperature channels use this value
to set the respective counters. The bits are decoded as shown in Table 7.13. The default setting is 1
consecutive out of limit conversion.
7.12 Beta Configuration Register
This register is used to set the Beta Compensation factor that is used for the external diode channel.
Bit 3 - ENABLE - Enables the Beta Compensation factor auto-detection function.
‘0’ - The Beta Compensation Factor auto-detection circuitry is disabled.
‘1’ (default) - The Beta Compensation factor auto-detection circuitry is enabled. At the beginning of
every conversion, the optimal Beta Compensation factor setting will be determined and applied.
The BETA[2:0] bits will be automatically updated to indicate the current setting.
Bit 2-0 - BETA[2:0] - These bits always reflect the current beta configuration settings. If auto-detection
circuitry is enabled, these bits will be updated automatically and writing to these bits will have no effect.
If the auto-detection circuitry is disabled, these bits will determine the beta configuration setting.
Care should be taken when setting the BETA[2:0] bits when the auto-detection circuitry is disabled. If
the Beta Compensation factor is set at a beta value that is higher than the transistor beta, the circuit

may introduce measurement errors. When measuring a discrete thermal diode (such as 2N3904) or a
CPU diode that functions like a discrete thermal diode (such as an AMD processor diode), the
BETA[2:0] bits should be set to ‘111b’.
7.13 External Diode Ideality Factor Register
This register stores the ideality factors that are applied to the external diode. Table 7.17 defines each
setting and the corresponding ideality factor. Beta Compensation and Resistance Error Correction
automatically correct for most diode ideality errors; therefore, it is not recommended that these settings
be updated without consulting Microchip.
