FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The MCP9800/1/2/3 family of temperature sensors

consists of a band-gap type temperature sensor, a

Σ∆

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), user-programmable

registers and a 2-wire I2C/SMBus protocol compatible

serial interface.

Functional Block Diagram.

4.1

Temperature Sensor

The MCP9800/1/2/3 uses the difference in the base-

emitter voltage of a transistor while its collector current

is changed from IC1 to IC2. With this method, the ∆VBE

depends only on the ratio of the two currents and the

ambient temperature, as shown in Equation 4-1.

EQUATION 4-1:

Σ∆ Analog-to-Digital Converter

A sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter is used to

convert

∆V

BE to a digital word that corresponds to the

transistor

temperature.

The

converter

has

adjustable resolution from 9-bits (at 30 ms conversion

time) to 12-bits (at 240 ms conversion time). Thus, it

allows the user to make trade-offs between resolution

and conversion time. Refer to Section 4.3.4 “Sensor

Configuration

(CONFIG)”

and

Section 4.3.4.7 “

Σ∆ ADC Resolution” for details.
