Description
Microchip Technology Inc.’s MCP98244 digital
temperature sensor converts temperature from -40°C
and +125°C to a digital word. This sensor meets
JEDEC Specification JC42.4-TSE3000B1 Memory
Module Thermal Sensor Component. It provides an
accuracy of ±0.2°C/±1°C (typical/maximum) from
+75°C to +95°C with an operating voltage of 1.7V to
3.6V. In addition, MCP98244 has an integrated
EEPROM with two banks of 256 by 8 bit EEPROM (4k
Bit) which can be used to store memory module details
and vendor information.
The MCP98244 digital temperature sensor comes with
user-programmable registers that provide flexibility for
DIMM temperature-sensing applications. The registers
allow user-selectable settings such as Shutdown or
Low-Power modes and the specification of
temperature Event boundaries. When the temperature
changes beyond the specified Event boundary limits,
the MCP98244 outputs an Alert signal at the Event pin.
The user has the option of setting the temperature
Event output signal polarity as either an active-low or
active-high comparator output for thermostat operation,
or as a temperature Event interrupt output for
microprocessor-based systems.
The MCP98244 EEPROM is designed specifically for
DRAM DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). It has four 128 Byte pages,
which can be Software Write Protected individually.
This allows DRAM vendor and product information to
be stored and write-protected.
This sensor has an industry standard I
2
C Fast Mode
Plus compatible 1 MHz serial interface.

PIN DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the pins are listed in
Table 3-1
.
TABLE 3-1:
PIN FUNCTION TABLES
3.1
Address Pins (A0, A1, A2)
These pins are device address input pins.
The address pins correspond to the Least Significant
bits (LSb) of address bits. The Most Significant bits
(MSb) are (A6, A5, A4, A3). This is shown in
Table 3-2
.
The A0 Address pin is a multi-function pin. This input
pin is also used for high voltage input V
HV
to enable the
EEPROM Software Write Protect feature, for more
information see
Section 5.3.3 “Bank or page selec-
tion for EEPROM Read/write operation”
.
All address pin have an internal pull-down resistors.
3.2
Ground Pin (GND)
The GND pin is the system ground pin.
3.3
Serial Data Line (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional input/output pin, used to serially
transmit data to/from the host controller. This pin
requires a pull-up resistor. (See
Section 4.0 “Serial
Communication”
).
3.4
Serial Clock Line (SCL)
The SCL is a clock input pin. All communication timing
is relative to the signal on this pin. The clock is gener-
ated by the host or master controller on the bus. (See
Section 4.0 “Serial Communication”
).
3.5
Temperature Alert, Open-Drain
Output (Event)
The MCP98244 temperature Event output pin is an
open-drain output. The device outputs a signal when
the ambient temperature goes beyond the user-pro-
grammed temperature limit. (see
Section 5.2.3 “Event
Output Configuration”
).
3.6
Power Pin (V
DD
)
V
DD
is the power pin. The operating voltage range, as
specified in the DC electrical specification table, is
applied on this pin.
3.7
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is an internal electrical connection between the
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the GND pin; they can
be connected to the same potential on the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB). This provides better thermal
conduction from the PCB to the die.

Data transfers are initiated by a Start condition
(START), followed by a 7-bit device address and a
read/write bit. An Acknowledge (ACK) from the slave
confirms the reception of each byte. Each access must
be terminated by a Stop condition (STOP).
Repeated communication is initiated after t
B-FREE
.
This device does not support sequential register read/
write. Each register needs to be addressed using the
Register Pointer.
This device supports the Receive Protocol. The
register can be specified using the pointer for the initial
read. Each repeated read or receive begins with a Start
condition and address byte. The MCP98244 retains the
previously selected register. Therefore, they output
data from the previously-specified register (repeated
pointer specification is not necessary).
4.1.2
MASTER/SLAVE
The bus is controlled by a master device (typically a
microcontroller) that controls the bus access and
generates the Start and Stop conditions. The
MCP98244 is a slave device and does not control other
devices in the bus. Both master and slave devices can
operate as either transmitter or receiver. However, the
master device determines which mode is activated.
4.1.3
START/STOP CONDITION
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line (while SCL is
high) is the Start condition. All data transfers must be
preceded by a Start condition from the master. A low-
to-high transition of the SDA line (while SCL is high)
signifies a Stop condition.
If a Start or Stop condition is introduced during data
transmission, the MCP98244 releases the bus. All data
transfers are ended by a Stop condition from the
master.
4.1.4
ADDRESS BYTE
Following the Start condition, the host must transmit an
8-bit address byte to the MCP98244. The address for
the MCP98244 Temperature Sensor is
‘0011,A2,A1,A0’ in binary, where the A2, A1 and A0
bits are set externally by connecting the corresponding
pins to V
DD
‘1’ or GND ‘0’. The 7-bit address
transmitted in the serial bit stream must match the
selected address for the MCP98244 to respond with an
ACK. Bit 8 in the address byte is a read/write bit.
Setting this bit to ‘1’ commands a read operation, while
‘0’ commands a write operation (see
Figure 4-1
).

4.1.5
DATA VALID
After the Start condition, each bit of data in
transmission needs to be settled for a time specified by
t
SU-DATA
before SCL toggles from low-to-high (see
Serial Interface Timing Specifications
table).
Term
Description
Master
The device that controls the serial bus,
typically a microcontroller.
Slave
The device addressed by the master,
such as the MCP98244.
Transmitter Device sending data to the bus.
Receiver
Device receiving data from the bus.
START
A unique signal from master to initiate
serial interface with a slave.
STOP
A unique signal from the master to
terminate serial interface from a slave.
Read/Write A read or write to the MCP98244
registers.
ACK
A receiver Acknowledges (ACK) the
reception of each byte by polling the
bus.
NAK
A receiver Not-Acknowledges (NAK) or
releases the bus to show End-of-Data
(EOD).
Busy
Communication is not possible
because the bus is in use.
Not Busy
The bus is in the idle state, both SDA
and SCL remain high.
Data Valid
SDA must remain stable before SCL
becomes high in order for a data bit to
be considered valid. During normal
data transfers, SDA only changes state
while SCL is low.

4.1.6
ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK/NAK)
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an ACK bit after the reception of each byte.
The master device must generate an extra clock pulse
for ACK to be recognized.
The acknowledging device pulls down the SDA line for
t
SU-DATA
before the low-to-high transition of SCL from
the master. SDA also needs to remain pulled down for
t
H-DATA
after a high-to-low transition of SCL.
During read, the master must signal an End-of-Data
(EOD) to the slave by not generating an ACK bit (NAK)
once the last bit has been clocked out of the slave. In
this case, the slave will leave the data line released to
enable the master to generate the Stop condition.
4.1.7
TIME OUT (T
OUT
)
If the SCL stays low or high for time specified by t
OUT
,
the MCP98244 resets the serial interface. This dictates
the minimum clock speed as indicated in the
specification.
