Datasheet

General Description
The MAX31730 temperature sensor monitors its own tem-
perature and the temperatures of three external diode-
connected transistors. The operating supply voltage is
from 3.0V to 3.6V. Resistance cancellation compensates
for high series resistance in circuit-board traces and the
external thermal diode, while beta compensation corrects
for temperature-measurement errors due to low-beta
sensing transistors.
All temperature channels have programmable temperature
thresholds. When the measured temperature of a channel
crosses the respective threshold, a status bit is set in
the thermal status registers and the open-drain THERM
output asserts. A highest temperature register allows the
master to obtain the temperature of the hottest channel.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts SMBus protocols
(write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte) for
reading the temperature data and programming the
temperature thresholds. Any one of eight available slave
addresses can be selected using the address selection
input (ADD), which can be connected to ground or con-
nected to a grounded resistor.
The MAX31730 supports 3.0V to 3.6V operation and is
specified for a -40°C to +125°C operating temperature
range. It is available in a 10-pin µMAX
®
and a 12-pin,
3mm x 3mm TDFN package.
