General Description
The SX8733, SX8743 and SX8744 are digital temperature
sensors with a 2-wire SMBus interface. It provides a low-
cost solution to monitor the temperature of remote diodes
as well as its own temperature with an on-chip PN junction
sensor.
Depending on the device version, 2, 3 or 4 programmable
ports are included. They offer the possibility to trig under- /
over- temperature alarms which can be used as an interrupt
or to connect up to 3 external sensors in single-ended
mode or 2 external sensors in differential mode.
The parasitic resistances in series with the temperature
monitoring diode can be cancelled by an algorithmic, a 3-
point or a Kelvin (4-wire) method.
The SX8744 is pin-to-pin compatible with the LM86 part.
The SX8733 (2 programmable ports) is available in MLPD-
6 package. The SX8743 (4 programmable ports) and
SX8744 (3 programmable ports) are available in MSOP-8
package.
