MIC281
Low-Cost IttyBitty™ Thermal Sensor
General Description
The MIC281 is a digital thermal sensor capable of
measuring the temperature of a remote PN junction. It is
optimized for applications favoring low cost and small size.
The remote junction may be an inexpensive commodity
transistor, e.g., 2N3906, or an embedded thermal diode
®
such as found in Intel Pentium II/III/IV CPUs, AMD
®
®
Athlon CPUs, and Xilinx Virtex FPGAs.
The MIC281 is 100% software and hardware backward
compatible with the MIC280 and features the same
industry-leading noise performance and small size. The
advanced integrating A/D converter and analog front-end
reduce errors due to noise for maximum accuracy and
minimum guardbanding.
A 2-wire SMBus 2.0-compatible serial interface is provided
for host communication. The clock and data pins are 5V-
tolerant regardless of the value of V
DD
. They will not clamp
the bus lines low even if the device is powered down.
Superior performance, low power, and small size make the
MIC281 an excellent choice for cost-sensitive thermal
management applications.
Datasheets and support documentation are available on
Micrel’s website at:

Notes:
2. Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device.
3. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating ratings. Final test on outgoing product is performed at T
A
= 25°C.
4. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions are recommended. Human body model, 1.5kΩ in series with 100pF.
5. Specification for packaged product only.
6. Current into the DATA pin will result in self-heating of the device. Sink current should be minimized for best accuracy.
7. Guaranteed by design over the operating temperature range. Not 100% production tested.
8. Accuracy specification does not include quantization noise, which may be up to ±1/2 LSB.
9. T
D
is the temperature of the remote diode junction. Testing is performed using a single unit of one of the transistors listed in Table 4.
