Dual Remote/Local Temperature Sensors with SMBus Serial Interface
General Description
The MAX6695/MAX6696 are precise, dual-remote, and local digital temperature sensors.
They accurately measure the temperature of their own die and two remote diode-connected
transistors, and report the temperature in digital form on a 2-wire serial interface.
The remote diode is typically the emitter-base junction of a common-collector
PNP on a CPU, FPGA, GPU, or ASIC.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard system management bus (SMBus™) commands such as Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte to read the temperature data and program the alarm thres...
