Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3437 Temp-Log 6 Click MAX6642 Local/Remote Temperature Sensor

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3437):

MIKROE-3437 MAX6642 is a ±1°C, SMBus/I2C compatible local/remote temperature sensor with an overtemperature alarm. Temp-Log 6 click is a temperature sensing Click board™, which features the MAX6642, a specifically designed IC, capable of measuring its own die temperature, as well as a temperature at a remote PN junction. This option makes Temp-Log 6 click well-suited for monitoring the temperature of a CPU, GPU or FPGA, where the PN junction is typically a substrate PNP transistor on the die of the measured IC. Instead of measuring the PN junction of a specifically designed IC, Temp-Log 6 click can also use an external diode or a small-signal transistor. The MAX6642 can also report an ALERT signal if programmed temperature thresholds are exceeded. Temp-Log 6 click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket. Applications: It can be used in many applications, including dual-zone thermal monitoring in FPGA, embedded, and PC systems, i.e. when it is required to monitor both the ambient temperature within the enclosure, as well as the IC die temperature, for test and measurement applications, and similar. On-board modules: MAX6642, a ±1°C, SMBus/I2C compatible local/remote temperature sensor with an overtemperature alarm, produced by Maxim Integrated. Key features: A very high measurement accuracy and repeatability, ALARM thresholds, a dedicated ALARM interrupt pin, dual zone thermal monitoring (ambient temperature and remote temperature), suitable to be used for the on-chip PN junctions, etc. Interface: I2C. Input Voltage: 3.3V or 5V. Click board size: M (42.9 x 25.4 mm).
