7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor
The MAX6697 precision multichannel temperature sensor monitors its own temperature and the temperatures
of up to six external diode-connected transistors. All
temperature channels have programmable alert thresholds. Channels 1, 4, 5, and 6 also have programmable
overtemperature thresholds. When the measured temperature of a channel exceeds the respective threshold, a status bit is set in one of the status registers. Two
open-drain outputs, OVERT and ALERT, assert corresponding to these bits in the status register.
The 2-wire serial interface supports the standard system
management bus (SMBus™) protocols: write byte, read
byte, send byte, and receive byte for reading the temperature data and programming the alarm thresholds.
The MAX6697 is specified for an operating temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in 20-pin
QSOP and 20-pin TSSOP packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX6697 is a precision multichannel temperature
monitor that features one local and six remote temperature-sensing channels with a programmable alert
threshold for each temperature channel and a programmable overtemperature threshold for channels 1, 4, 5,
and 6 (see Figure 1). Communication with the MAX6697
is achieved through the SMBus serial interface and a
dedicated alert pin. The alarm outputs, OVERT and
ALERT, assert if the software-programmed temperature
thresholds are exceeded. ALERT typically serves as an
interrupt, while OVERT can be connected to a fan, system shutdown, or other thermal-management circuitry.
ADC Conversion Sequence
In the default conversion mode, the MAX6697 starts the
conversion sequence by measuring the temperature on
channel 1, followed by 2, 3, local channel, 4, 5, and 6.
The conversion result for each active channel is stored
in the corresponding temperature data register.
In some systems, one of the remote thermal diodes may
be monitoring a location that experiences temperature
changes that occur much more rapidly than in the other
6
channels. If faster temperature changes must be monitored in one of the temperature channels, the MAX6697
allows channel 1 to be monitored at a faster rate than
the other channels. In this mode (set by writing a 1 to bit
4 of the configuration 1 register), measurements of
channel 1 alternate with measurements of the other
channels. The sequence becomes channel 1, channel
2, channel 1, channel 3, channel 1, etc. Note that the
time required to measure all seven channels is considerably greater in this mode than in the default mode.
Low-Power Standby Mode
Standby mode reduces the supply current to less than
15µA by disabling the internal ADC. Enter standby by
setting the STOP bit to 1 in the configuration 1 register.
During standby, data is retained in memory, and the
SMBus interface is active and listening for SMBus commands. The timeout is enabled if a start condition is recognized on SMBus. Activity on the SMBus causes the
supply current to increase. If a standby command is
received while a conversion is in progress, the conversion cycle is interrupted, and the temperature registers
are not updated. The previous data is not changed and
remains available.

Figure 1. Internal Block Diagram
SMBus Digital Interface
From a software perspective, the MAX6697 appears as
a series of 8-bit registers that contain temperature measurement data, alarm threshold values, and control bits.
A standard SMBus-compatible 2-wire serial interface is
used to read temperature data and write control bits
and alarm threshold data. The same SMBus slave
address also provides access to all functions.
The MAX6697 employs four standard SMBus protocols:
write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte
(Figure 2). The shorter receive byte protocol allows
quicker transfers, provided that the correct data register was previously selected by a read byte instruction.
Use caution with the shorter protocols in multimaster
systems, since a second master could overwrite the
command byte without informing the first master. Figure
3 is the SMBus write timing diagram and Figure 4 is the
SMBus read timing diagram.
The remote diode 1 measurement channel provides 11
bits of data (1 LSB = 0.125°C). All other temperaturemeasurement channels provide 8 bits of temperature
data (1 LSB = 1°C). The 8 most significant bits (MSBs)
can be read from the local temperature and remote
temperature registers. The remaining 3 bits for remote
diode 1 can be read from the extended temperature
register. If extended resolution is desired, the extended
resolution register should be read first. This prevents
the most significant bits from being overwritten by new
