GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TCM1617 is a serially programmable temperature

sensor optimized for monitoring modern high performance
CPUs with on-board integrated thermal diodes. Tempera-
ture data is converted from the CPU's thermal diode outputs
and made available as an 8-Bit digital word.

Communication with the TCM1617 is accomplished via

the standard System Management Bus (SMBus) commonly
used in modern computer systems. This permits reading the
current internal/external temperature, programming the
threshold setpoints, and configuring the device. Addition-
ally, an interrupt is generated on the ALERT# pin when
temperature moves outside the preset threshold windows in
either direction.

A Standby command may be sent via the SMBus by

signaling the STBY# input to activate the low-power Standby
mode. Registers can be accessed while in Standby mode.
Address selection inputs allow up to nine TCM1617s to
share the same 2-wire SMBus for multi-zone monitoring.

All registers can be read by the host, and both polled and

interrupt driven systems are easily accommodated. Small
size, low installed cost, and ease of use make the TCM1617
an ideal choice for implementing sophisticated system man-
agement schemes, such as ACPI.

NOTES: 1. Operating current is an average value (including external diode injection pulse current) integrated over multiple conversion cycles.

Transient current may exceed this specification.

2. For true reccurring conversion time see Conversion Rate register description.
3. Output current should be minimized for best temperature accuracy. Power dissipation within the TCM1617 will cause self-heating and

temperature drift error.

the TCM1617. See System Management Bus Specification,
rev. 1.0, for timing diagrams.

SDA

Bi-directional. Serial data is transferred on the SMBus

in both directions using this pin. See System Management
Bus Specification, rev. 1.0, for timing diagrams.

ADD1, ADD0

Inputs.

Sets the 7-bit SMBus address. These pins are

"tri-state," and the SMBus addresses are specified in the
Address Decode Table below.

(NOTE: The tri-state scheme allows up to nine

TCM1617s on a single bus. A match between the TCM1617's
address and the address specified in the serial bit stream
must be made to initiate communication. Many SMBus-
compatible devices with other addresses may share the
same 2-wire bus (see System Management Bus Specifica-
tion rev. 1.0 for address allocations). These pins are only
active at power-on reset, and will latch into the appropriate
states.

ALERT#

Output, Open Collector, Active Low. The ALERT# out-

put corresponds to the general SMBALERT# signal and
indicates an interrupt event. The TCM1617 will respond to
the standard SMBus Alert Response Address (see SMBus
Specification 1.0) and associated protocol when ALERT# is
asserted. Normally, the ALERT# output will be asserted
when any of the following occurs:

INT_TEMP equal to or exceeds INT_HLIM

INT_TEMP falls below INT_LLIM

EXT_TEMP equal to or exceeds EXT_HLIM

EXT_TEMP falls below EXT_LLIM

External Diode "Open"

The operation of the ALERT# output is controlled by the

MASK1 bit in the CONFIG register. If the MASK1 bit is set to
"1," no interrupts will be generated on ALERT#. The ALERT#
output is cleared and re-armed by the Alert Response
Address (ARA). This output may be WIRE-ORed with simi-
lar outputs from other SMBus devices. If the alarm condition
persists after the ARA, the ALERT# output will be immedi-
ately re-asserted.

(NOTE: A pull-up resistor is necessary on ALERT#

since it is an open-drain output. Current sourced from the
pull-up resistor causes power dissipation and may cause
internal heating of the TCM1617. To avoid affecting the
accuracy of internal temperature readings, the pull-up resis-
tors should be made as large as possible.)

STBY#

Input. The activation of Standby mode may be achieved

using either the STBY# pin or the CHIP STOP bit (CONFIG
register). If STBY# is pulled low, the TCM1617 uncondition-
ally enters its low-power Standby mode (I

= 10

A, max).

The temperature-to-digital conversion process is halted, but
ALERT remains functional. The TCM1617's bus interface

digital temperature data.

Bi-directional. This pin connects to the cathode of the

external diode. Current is sunk from the external diode into
the TCM1617 through this pin. It also is the negative input
terminal to the TCM1617's A/D converter. This node is kept
at approximately 0.7V above GROUND.

Input. Power supply input. See electrical specifications.

GND

Input. Ground return for all TCM1617 functions.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The TCM1617 acquires and converts temperature infor-

mation from two separate sources, both silicon junction
diodes, with a basic accuracy of

C. One is located on the

TCM1617 die; the other is connected externally. The exter-
nal diode may be located on another IC die. The analog-to-
digital converter on the TCM1617 alternately converts tem-
perature data from the two sensors and stores them sepa-
rately in internal registers.

The system interface is a slave SMBus port with an

ALERT# (SMBALERT#) interrupt output. The interrupt is
triggered when one or more of four preset temperature
thresholds are tripped (see Figure 1). These four thresholds
are user-programmable via the SMBus port. Additionally,
the temperature data can be read at any time through the
SMBus port. Nine SMBus addresses are programmable for
the TCM1617, which allows for a multi-sensor configuration.
Also, there is low-power Standby mode where temperature
acquisition is suspended.

STANDBY MODE

The TC1617 allows the host to put it into a low power

mode (I

= 10

A, max) Standby mode. In this mode, the

A/D converter is halted, and the temperature data registers
are frozen. The SMBus port operates normally. Standby
mode can be enabled with either the STBY# input pin or the
CHIP STOP bit in the CONFIG register. The following table
summarizes this operation.

SMBUS SLAVE ADDRESS

The Serial Clock input (SCL) and bi-directional data port

(SDA) form a 2-wire bi-directional serial port for program-
ming and interrogating the TCM1617. The following conven-
tions are used in this bus architecture:

All transfers take place under control of a host, usually

a CPU or microcontroller, acting as the Master, which

provides the clock signal for all transfers. The TCM1617
always operates as a slave. The serial protocol is illustrated
in Figure 3. All data transfers have two phases; all bytes are
transferred MSB first. Accesses are initiated by a start
condition (START), followed by a device address byte and

TCM1617 Serial Bus Conventions

Term

Explanation

Transmitter

The device sending data to the bus.

Receiver

The device receiving data from the bus.

Master

The device which controls the bus: initiating
transfers (START), generating the clock, and
terminating transfers (STOP).

Slave

The device addressed by the master.

Start

A unique condition signaling the beginning of
a transfer indicated by SDA falling (High Low)
while SCL is high.

Stop

A unique condition signaling the end of a
transfer indicated by SDA rising (Low High)
while SCL is high.

ACK

A receiver acknowledges the receipt of each
byte with this unique condition. The receiver
drives SDA low during SCL high of the ACK
clock-pulse. The Master provides the clock
pulse for the ACK cycle.

Busy

Communication is not possible because the
bus is in use.

NOT Busy

When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL
will remain high.

Data Valid

The state of SDA must remain stable during
the High period of SCL in order for a data bit to
be considered valid. SDA only changes state
while SCL is low during normal data transfers
(see Start and Stop conditions.)

one or more data bytes. The device address byte includes
a Read/Write selection bit. Each access must be terminated
by a Stop Condition (STOP). A convention called (ACK)
confirms receipt of each byte. Note that SDA can change
only during periods when SCL is LOW (SDA changes while
SCL is High are reserved for Start and Stop conditions.)

Start Condition (START)

The TCM1617 continuously monitors the SDA and SCL

lines for a start condition (a High to Low transition of SDA
while SCL is High), and will not respond until this condition
is met.

Address Byte

Immediately following the Start Condition, the host must

transmit the address byte to the TCM1617. The states of
ADD1 and ADD0 during power-up determine the 7-bit
SMBus address for the TCM1617. The 7-bit address trans-
mitted in the serial bit stream must match for the TCM1617
to respond with an Acknowledge (indicating the TCM1617 is
on the bus and ready to accept data). The eighth bit in the
Address Byte is a Read-Write Bit. This bit is 1 for a read
operation or 0 for a write operation.

Acknowledge (ACK)

Acknowledge (ACK) provides a positive handshake

between the host and the TCM1617. The host releases SDA
after transmitting eight bits, then generates a ninth clock
cycle to allow the TCM1617 to pull the SDA line Low to
acknowledge that it successfully received the previous eight
bits of data or address.

Data Byte

After a successful ACK of the address byte, the host

must next transmit the data byte to be written or clock out the
data to be read. (See the appropriate timing diagrams.) ACK
will be generated after a successful write of a data byte into
the TCM1617.

Stop Condition (STOP)

Communications must be terminated by a stop condi-

tion (a Low to High transition of SDA while SCL is High). The
Stop Condition must be communicated by the transmitter to
the TCM1617. (Refer to TCN75 data sheet for serial bus
timing diagrams.)

In the two temperature data and four threshold setpoint

registers, each unit value represents one degree (Celsius).
The value is in 2's-complement binary format such that a
reading of 00000000b corresponds to 0

C. Examples of this

temperature-to-binary value relationship are shown in the
following table.
