MIC184
Local/Remote Thermal Supervisor
General Description
The MIC184 is a versatile digital thermal supervisor capable
of measuring temperature using either its own internal sensor
or an inexpensive external sensor. A 2-wire serial interface is
provided to allow communication with either I
2
C or SMBus
masters. This device is a pin-for-pin and software compatible
upgrade for the industry standard LM75.
Additional features include remote temperature measurement
capability, and interrupt status and mask bits in the chips
conguration register for software polling. The open-drain
interrupt output pin can be used as either an overtemperature
alarm or thermostatic control signal. Three programmable ad-
dress pins permit users to multidrop up to 8 devices along the
2-wire bus, allowing simple distributed temperature sensing
networks. Superior performance, low power and small size
makes the MIC184 an excellent choice for the most demand-
ing thermal management applications.
