NCT210
Low Cost Microprocessor
System Temperature
Monitor Microcomputer
The NCT210 is a two-channel digital thermometer and
under/overtemperature alarm, intended for use in personal computers
and other systems requiring thermal monitoring and management. The
device can measure the temperature of a microprocessor using a
diode-connected PNP transistor, which can be provided on-chip with
the processor, or can be a low cost discrete NPN/PNP device, such as
the 2N3904/2N3906. A novel measurement technique cancels out the
absolute value of the transistors base emitter voltage so that no
calibration is required. The second measurement channel measures the
output of an on-chip temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of
the device and its environment.
The NCT210 communicates over a two-wire serial interface
compatible with SMBus standards. Under/overtemperature limits can
be programmed into the device over the serial bus, and an ALERT
output signals when the on-chip or remote temperature is out of range.
This output can be used as an interrupt or as an SMBus alert.
