7-Channel Precision Temperature Monitor
with Beta Compensation
The MAX6693 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 MAX6693 is specified for an operating temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in a 20-pin
TSSOP package.

All parameters are tested at TA = +85°C. Specifications over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Beta = 0.5 for channel 1 remote transistor.
Timing specifications are guaranteed by design.
The serial interface resets when SMBCLK is low for more than tTIMEOUT.
A transition must internally provide at least a hold time to bridge the undefined region (300ns max) of SMBCLK’s falling edge.

Detailed Description
The MAX6693 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 MAX6693
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 MAX6693 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.
Low-Power Standby Mode
Enter software standby mode by setting the STOP bit to
1 in the configuration 1 register. Enter hardware standby
by pulling STBY low. Software standby mode disables
the ADC and reduces the supply current to approximately 3µA. Hardware standby mode halts the ADC
clock, but the supply current is approximately 350µA.
During either software or hardware standby, data is
retained in memory. During hardware standby, the
SMBus interface is inactive. During software standby, the
SMBus interface is active and listening for 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.

Operating-Current Calculation
SMBus Digital Interface
The MAX6693 operates at different operating-current
levels depending on how many external channels are in
use. Assume that ICC1 is the operating current when
the MAX6693 is converting the remote channel 1 and
ICC2 is the operating current when the MAX6693 is converting the other channels. For the MAX6693 with
remote channel 1 and n other remote channels connected, the operating current is:
ICC = (2 x ICC1 + ICC2 + n x ICC2)/(n + 3)
From a software perspective, the MAX6693 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.
