MIC184 Local/Remote Thermal Supervisor

MIC184 Local/Remote Thermal Supervisor

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 I2C or SMBus masters. This device is a pin-for-pin and software compa.

Features

include remote temperature measurement capability, and interrupt status and mask bits in the chip’s configuration register for software polling. The open-drain interrupt output pin can be used as either an overtemperature alarm or thermostatic control signal. Three programmable address 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 demanding thermal management applications. .
