SOT23 Local Temperature Comparators
with SMBus Serial Interface
General Description
The MAX1755/MAX1756 are temperature monitors with
±3°C accuracy, each with a built-in comparator and
SMBus™-controlled variable trip threshold. This DAC-
programmable threshold allows specific thermal zones
and system responses to overtemperature conditions to
be adjusted under software control. The MAX1755/
MAX1756 feature serial programmability, low cost, wide
supply-voltage range, and a tiny package.
The MAX1755 has a self-clearing thermostat output
(OVERT), and the MAX1756 has a latched interrupt out-
put (ALERT). A variety of slave addresses allow for up
to six devices per system (Table 3).
The MAX1755 has 4°C of built-in hysteresis. The
MAX1756 detects both low-to-high and high-to-low tem-
perature transitions within an 8°C temperature window.
This arrangement supports “windowing” algorithms
where the comparison threshold is reprogrammed “on-
the-fly.”
The MAX1755/MAX1756 are offered in the 6-pin SOT23
package and are specified over the -40°C to +125°C
temperature range. For other temperature sensors with
SMBus interfaces, refer to the MAX1617, MAX1618,
MAX1668, and MAX1805 data sheets.

Note 1:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile to which the
device can be exposed during board-level solder attach and rework. The limit permits the use of only the solder profiles rec-
ommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Detailed Description
The MAX1755/MAX1756 are temperature comparators
designed to work in conjunction with an external µC or
other digital intelligence through an SMBus interface.
The µC is typically a power-management or keyboard
controller, which generates SMBus serial commands
from a GPIO port or through a dedicated SMBus inter-
face block.
Figure 1 illustrates the circuit blocks in the MAX1755/
MAX1756. The output of an analog temperature-to-volt-
age converter signal is compared to the temperature-
stable output of a serially programmed dual-output
digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Great care is taken in
the design to ensure that the thermal signal is propor-
tional to absolute temperature or PTAT. A precision
comparator with low-input offset voltage is used to
compare the PTAT voltage to the DAC output.
The DAC provides two levels: one is set to the rising trip
threshold and the other is set to the falling threshold
(hysteresis) level by a digital subtractor. This arrange-
ment makes the hysteresis value very accurate with
respect to the rising trip point. Each DAC level is alter-
nately compared to the PTAT voltage through a sam-
pling system that reuses the same comparator, thereby
reducing errors due to comparator offset. The sampling
rate is typically 1kHz.
A simplified SMBus interface enables the system to
program the temperature thresholds and read the part’s
status register.
SMBus Digital Interface
The SMBus block utilizes the read-byte/write-byte pro-
tocol. It only supports 8-bit reads and writes, has no
command byte, and does not need to support the Alert
Response feature. From a software perspective, the
MAX1755/MAX1756 appear as write registers contain-
ing the DAC comparison value and as read registers
containing the status byte. A standard SMBus 2-wire
serial interface is used to program DAC values and
read the status byte. Figure 2 shows the SMBus data
protocols and Figure 3 details the SMBus timing.
Programming the T
MAX
Register
The T
MAX
register is programmed using a standard
SMBus Send Byte operation. The temperature data for-
mat is 6 bits plus sign in two’s complement form, with
each data bit representing 2°C (Table 1). The MSB is
transmitted first, LSB last. The MSB (B7) of the T
MAX
register is an embedded control bit, which can either
invert the polarity of the
OVERT
output (MAX1755) or
mask low-going (T
HYST
) interrupts (MAX1756). The B6
bit of the T
MAX
register is the sign bit for the remaining
6 bits that make up the binary-coded temperature
threshold.
Software Standby Mode
If the DAC code is set to negative full scale, the device
goes into software standby mode. In standby mode,
supply current is reduced to 0.8µA. At very low supply
voltages (UVLO threshold), the supply current is higher
due to address decoding. Typical supply current can
be as high as 250µA, depending on the ADD setting,
while the typical ADD input current can be as high as
40µA. Exiting standby mode causes the slave address
to be checked again.
