EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor General Description The MAX31730 temperature sensor monitors its own temperature and the temperatures of three external diodeconnected 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.

MAX31730 Series-Resistance Cancellation Some thermal diodes on high-power ICs have excessive series resistance that can cause temperature-measurement errors when used with conventional remote temperature sensors. External channels 1–3 of the device have a series-resistance cancellation feature that eliminates the effect of diode series resistance and interconnection resistance. The cancellation range is from 0 to 300Ω. Series-resistance cancellation is always enabled.

MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor Comparator Mode Selecting comparator mode in the Configuration register causes the THERM output to assert based on a temperature measurement exceeding a trip threshold value, just as in interrupt mode. However, in comparator mode, the output deasserts automatically when the temperature crosses the threshold back into the acceptable range.
MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor Temperature Channel Enable Register The Temperature Channel Enable register selects which temperature-sensing channels are enabled. Channels not selected are skipped during the temperature-conversion cycle and diode fault detection is not performed on them.
MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor Thermal-Limit Registers The Thermal Limit registers (20h through 27h) store overtemperature and undertemperature thermal-threshold values. Access to these registers is provided through the I2C/SMBus-compatible interface. Alarms are masked at power-up. If a threshold is crossed, a bit is set in the Thermal Status registers (40h through 47h) to indicate the thermal fault. The THERM pin is also asserted unless the channel is masked using the THERM Mask register.
MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor THERM Mask Register The THERM Mask register functions are described in Table 6. Bits [3:0] are used to mask the THERM pin output. Bit 0 masks assertion of THERM due to the local channel thermal faults and the remaining bits mask the remote thermal faults. The power-up state of this register is 0000 0000 (00h). Status Register Functions The status registers indicate temperature or diode fault status.

MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor Diode Fault Detection If a remote channel’s DXP_ and DXN_ inputs are unconnected or are shorted to each other, to ground, or to the supply voltage, the device detects a diode fault. A diode fault does not cause THERM to assert and does not allow an overtemperature or undertemperature event to be detected for the affected channel.

MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor Beta Compensation Beta compensation corrects for errors caused by low beta-sensing transistors. Note: it applies only to PNP transistors with their collectors grounded and their bases and emitters connected to DXN_ and DXP_, respectively (see Figure 4). Select the remote channels for which beta compensation are active using the Beta Compensation Enable register (Table 11).

MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor Offset Registers If desired, an offset value can be applied to the data in any selected temperature channel. Select the offset value using the Custom Offset register (Table 14). The resolution of the custom offset value is 0.125°C, and the MSB is 16°C. The temperature offset is calculated using the following equation: -14.875°C + b[7:0]/8 = Temperature Offset The resulting offset range is -14.875°C to +17°C.

MAX31730 Applications Information Remote-Diode Selection The device directly measures the die temperature of CPUs and other ICs that have on-chip temperature-sensing diodes (see the Typical Application Circuits), or it can measure the temperature of a discrete diode-connected transistor. Discrete Remote Diodes When the remote-sensing diode is a discrete transistor, its collector and base must be connected together; PNP or npn discrete transistors can be used.
MAX31730 3-Channel Remote Temperature Sensor ADC Noise Filtering The integrating ADC has good noise rejection for lowfrequency signals, such as power-supply hum. In environments with significant high-frequency EMI, connect an external 100pF capacitor between DXP_ and DXN_. Larger capacitor values can be used for added filtering; however, this can introduce errors due to the rise time of the switched current source. Noise can be minimized with careful PCB layout, as discussed in the PCB Layout section.
