General Description
The MAX7500–MAX7504 temperature sensors accurately
measure temperature and provide an overtemperature
alarm/interrupt/shutdown output. These devices convert
the temperature measurements to digital form using a
high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). Communication is through an I2C-compatible
2-wire serial interface. The MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502
integrate a timeout feature that offers protection against
I2C bus lockups. The MAX7503/MAX7504 do not include
the timeout feature.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard write byte,
read byte, send byte, and receive byte commands to read
the temperature data and configure the behavior of the
open-drain overtemperature shutdown output.
The MAX7500 features three address select lines, while
the MAX7501–MAX7504 feature two address select lines
and a RESET input. The MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502s’
3.0V to 5.5V supply voltage range, low 250μA supply
current, and a lockup-protected I2C-compatible interface
make them ideal for a wide range of applications, including
personal computers (PCs), electronic test equipment, and
office electronics.
The MAX7500–MAX7504 are available in 8-pin μMAX®
and SO packages and operate over the -55°C to +125°C
temperature range.

Typical Operating Characteristics
Pin Description
I2C-Compatible Bus Interface
From a software perspective, the MAX7500–MAX7504
appear as a set of byte-wide registers that contain tem-
perature data, alarm threshold values, and control bits. A
standard I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface reads tem-
perature data and writes control bits and alarm threshold
data. Each device responds to its own I2C slave address,
which is selected using A0, A1, and A2. See Table 1.
The MAX7500–MAX7504 employ four standard I2C pro-
tocols: write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte
(Figures 1, 2, and 3). The shorter receive byte protocol
allows quicker transfers, provided that the correct data
register was previously selected by a read-byte instruc-
tion. Use caution when using the shorter protocols in
multimaster systems, as a second master could overwrite
the command byte without informing the first master. The
MAX7500 has eight different slave addresses available;
therefore, a maximum of eight MAX7500 devices can
share the same bus. The MAX7501–MAX7504 each have
four different slave addresses available.

Register Descriptions
The MAX7500–MAX7504 have an internal pnp-junction-
based temperature sensor whose analog output is con-
verted to digital form using a 9-bit sigma-delta ADC. The
measured temperature and temperature configurations
are controlled by the temperature, configuration, THYST,
and TOS registers. See Table 2.
Temperature Register
Read the measured temperature through the tempera-
ture register. The temperature data format is 9 bits, two’s
complement, and the register is read out in 2 bytes: an
upper byte and a lower byte. Bit D15 is the sign bit. When
bit D15 is 1, the temperature reading is negative. When
bit D15 is zero, the temperature reading is positive. Bits
D14–D7 contain the temperature data, with the LSB
representing 0.5°C and the MSB representing 64°C (see
Table 3). The MSB is transmitted first. The last 7 bits of the
lower byte, bits D6–D0, are don’t cares. When reading the
temperature register, bits D6–D0 must be ignored. When
the measured temperature is greater than +127.5°C,
the value stored in the temperature register is clipped to
7F8h. When the measured temperature is below -64°C,
the value in the temperature register is clipped to BF8h.
During the time of reading the temperature register, any
changes in temperature are ignored until the read is com-
pleted. The temperature register is updated upon comple-
tion of the next conversion.
Table 3 lists the temperature register definition.
Conguration Register
The 8-bit configuration register sets the fault queue, OS
polarity, shutdown control, and whether the OS output
functions in comparator or interrupt mode. When writing
to the configuration register, set bits D7, D6, and D5 to
zero. See Table 5.
Bits D4 and D3, the fault queue bits, determine the num-
ber of faults necessary to trigger an OS condition. See
Table 6. The number of faults set in the queue must occur
to trip the OS output. The fault queue prevents OS false
tripping in noisy environments.
Set bit D2, the OS polarity bit, to zero to force the OS
output active low. Set bit D2 to 1 to set the OS output
polarity to active high. OS is an open-drain output under
all conditions and requires a pullup resistor to output a
high voltage. See Figure 4.
Set bit D1, the comparator/interrupt bit to zero to run the
overtemperature shutdown block in comparator mode. In
comparator mode, OS is asserted when the temperature
rises above the TOS value. OS is deasserted when the
temperature drops below the THYST value.

Table 2. Register Functions
Table 3. Temperature Register Definition
Table 4. Temperature Data Output
See Figure 4. Set bit D1 to 1 to run the overtemperature
shutdown block in interrupt mode. OS is asserted in inter-
rupt mode when the temperature rises above the TOS
value or falls below the THYST value. OS is deasserted
only after performing a read operation.
Set bit D0, the shutdown bit, to zero for normal operation.
Set bit D0 to 1 to shut down the MAX7500–MAX7504
internal blocks, dropping the supply current to 3μA. The
I2C interface remains active as long as the shutdown bit is
set. The TOS, THYST, and configuration registers can still
be written to and read from while in shutdown.
TOS and THYST Registers
In comparator mode, the OS output behaves like a ther-
mostat. The output asserts when the temperature rises
above the limit set in the TOS register. The output deas-
serts when the temperature falls below the limit set in the
THYST register. In comparator mode, the OS output can
be used to turn on a cooling fan, initiate an emergency
shutdown signal, or reduce system clock speed.
In interrupt mode, exceeding TOS also asserts OS. OS
remains asserted until a read operation is performed on
any of the registers. Once OS has asserted due to cross-
ing above TOS and is then reset, it is asserted again only
when the temperature drops below THYST. The output
remains asserted until it is reset by a read. Putting the
MAX7500–MAX7504 into shutdown mode also resets OS.
The TOS and THYST registers are accessed with 2 bytes,
with bits D15–D7 containing the data. Bits D6–D0 are
don’t cares when writing to these two registers and read-
back zeros when reading from these registers. The LSB
represents 0.5°C while the MSB represents 64°C. See
Table 7.

Shutdown
Set bit D0 in the configuration register to 1 to place the
MAX7500–MAX7504 in shutdown mode and reduce sup-
ply current to 3μA.
Power-Up and Power-Down
The MAX7500–MAX7504 power up to a known state, as
indicated in Table 2. Some of these settings are summa-
rized below:
Comparator mode
TOS = +80°C
THYST = +75°C
OS active low
Pointer = 00
Internal Registers
The MAX7500–MAX7504s’ pointer register selects
between four data registers. See Figure 5. At power-
up, the pointer is set to read the temperature register at
address 00. The pointer register latches the last location
to which it was set. All registers are read and write, except
the temperature register, which is read only.
Write to the configuration register by writing an address
byte, a data pointer byte, and a data byte. If 2 data bytes
are written, the second data byte overrides the first. If
more than 2 data bytes are written, only the first 2 bytes
are recognized while the remaining bytes are ignored.
The TOS and THYST registers require 1 address byte and
1 pointer byte and 2 data bytes. If only 1 data byte is writ-
ten, it is saved in bits D15–D8 of the respective register.
If more than 2 data bytes are written, only the first 2 bytes
are recognized while the remaining bytes are ignored.
Read from the MAX7500–MAX7504 in one of two ways.
If the location latched in the pointer register is set from
the previous read, the new read consists of an address
byte, followed by retrieving the corresponding number of
data bytes. If the pointer register needs to be set to a new
address, perform a read operation by writing an address
byte, pointer byte, repeat start, and another address byte.
An inadvertent 8-bit read from a 16-bit register, with the
D7 bit low, can cause the MAX7500–MAX7504 to stop
in a state where the SDA line is held low. Ordinarily, this
would prevent any further bus communication until the
master sends nine additional clock cycles or SDA goes
high. At that time, a stop condition resets the device. With
the MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502, if the additional clock
cycles are not generated by the master, the bus resets
and unlocks after the bus timeout period has elapsed.
The MAX7501–MAX7504 can be reset by pulsing RESET
low.
Bus Timeout
Communication errors sometimes occur due to noise pick-
up on the bus. In the worst case, such errors can cause
the slave device to hold the data line low, thereby pre-
venting other devices from communicating over the bus.
The MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502s’ internal bus timeout
circuit resets the bus and releases the data line if the line is
low for more than 250ms. When the bus timeout is active,
the minimum serial clock frequency is limited to 6Hz.
RESET
The RESET input on the MAX7501/MAX7504 provides a
way to reset the I2C bus and all the internal registers to
their initial POR values. To reset, apply a low pulse with a
duration of at least 1μs to the RESET input.

Applications Information
Digital Noise
The MAX7500–MAX7504 feature an integrated lowpass
filter on both the SCL and the SDA digital lines to mitigate
the effects of bus noise. Although this filtering makes
communication robust in noisy environments, good layout
practices are always recommended. Minimize noise cou-
pling by keeping digital traces away from switching power
supplies. Ensure that digital lines containing high-speed
data communications cross at right angles to the SDA
and SCL lines.
Excessive noise coupling into the SDA and SCL lines
on the MAX7500–MAX7504—specifically noise with
amplitude greater than 400mVP-P (the MAX7500–
MAX7504s’ typical hysteresis), overshoot greater than
300mV above +VS, and undershoot more than 300mV
below GND—may prevent successful serial communication.
Serial bus no-acknowledge is the most common symptom,
causing unnecessary traffic on the bus.
Care must be taken to ensure proper termination within a
system with long PCB traces or multiple parts on the bus.
Resistance can be added in series with the SDA and SCL
lines to further help filter noise and ringing. If it proves to
be necessary, a 5kΩ resistor should be placed in series
with the SCL line, placed as close as possible to SCL.
This 5kΩ resistor, with the 5pF to 10pF stray capacitance
of the MAX7500–MAX7504 provide a 6MHz to 12MHz
lowpass filter, which is sufficient filtering in most cases.
