Figure 25. Signal Conditioning for Remote Diode Temperature Sensors
ADT7476A
Remote Temperature Measurement
The ADT7476A can measure the temperature of two
remote diode sensors or diode-connected transistors
connected to Pin 17 and Pin 18, or Pin 15 and Pin 16.
The forward voltage of a diode or diode-connected
transistor operated at a constant current exhibits a negative
temperature coefficient of about –2 mV/°C. Unfortunately,
the absolute value of V
individual calibration is required to null this out. As a result,
this technique is unsuitable for mass production. The
technique used in the ADT7476A is to measure the change
in V
when the device is operated at two different currents.
BE
This is given by:
where:
k is the Boltzmann's constant.
q is the charge on the carrier.
T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin.
N is the ratio of the two currents.
Figure 25 shows the input signal conditioning used to
measure the output of a remote temperature sensor. This
figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor,
which is provided on some microprocessors for temperature
monitoring. It could also be a discrete transistor such as a
2N3904/2N3906.
If a discrete transistor is used, the collector is not grounded
and is linked to the base. If a PNP transistor is used, the base
is connected to the D– input and the emitter to the D+ input.
If an NPN transistor is used, the emitter is connected to the
D– input and the base to the D+ input. Figure 26 and
Figure 27 show how to connect the ADT7476A to an NPN
or PNP transistor for temperature measurement. To prevent
ground noise from interfering with the measurement, the
more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to
ground, but is biased above ground by an internal diode at
the D– input.
