EMC1402 1°C Temperature Sensor with
Beta Compensation PRODUCT FEATURES Datasheet General Description Applications The EMC1402 is a high accuracy, low cost, System
Management Bus (SMBus) temperature sensor.
Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction
(REC), Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes
requiring the BJT/transistor model including 45nm,
65nm and 90nm processors) and automatic diode type
detection combine to provide a robust solution for
complex environmental monitoring applications. Each device provides ±1° accuracy for external diode
temperatures and ±2°C accuracy for the internal diode
temperature. The EMC1402 monitors two temperature
channels (one external and one internal). Resistance Error Correction automatically eliminates the
temperature error caused by series resistance allowing
greater flexibility in routing thermal diodes. Beta
Compensation eliminates temperature errors caused by
low, variable beta transistors common in today's fine
geometry processors. The automatic beta detection
feature monitors the external diode/transistor and
determines the optimum sensor settings for accurate
temperature measurements regardless of processor
technology. This frees the user from providing unique
sensor configurations for each temperature monitoring
application. These advanced features plus ±1°C …
