MCP9983T-2E/9R [Microchip]

The MCP9983/MCP9983D are high-accuracy, low-cost, 2-wire communication protocol (I²C/SMbus) temperature sensor.

The MCP9983/MCP9983D can monitor 3 temperature channels. Advanced features such as Resistance Error Correction (REC), Beta Compensation (to support CPU diodes requiring the BJT/transistor model) and automatic diode type detection combine to provide a robust solution for complex environmental monitoring applications.

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 and the ±1°C measurement accuracy for both external and internal diode temperatures provide a low-cost, highly flexible and accurate solution for critical temperature monitoring applications.

I²C communications are compatible with the EIA/JEDEC 8-7 standard for 1.8V and 3.3V levels. Addressing may be a fixed-address or set via a pull-up resistor.
