MIC184
These routines force the device under test to generate an
overtemperature fault (steps 3 and 4), followed by an
undertemperature fault (steps 6 through 8). This sequence
causes the device under test to exit the routine prepared to
respond to an overtemperature condition. If being immedi-
ately prepared to detect an undertemperature condition upon
exit is desired, swap steps 3 and 6 in each routine.
Remote Diode Selection
Most small-signal PNP transistors with characteristics similar
to the JEDEC 2N3906 will perform well as remote tempera-
ture sensors. Table 3 lists several examples of such parts.
Micrel has tested those marked with a bullet for use with the
MIC184.

Minimizing Errors
Self-Heating
One concern when using a part with the temperature accu-
racy and resolution of the MIC184 is to avoid errors induced
by self-heating (V
of error this might represent, and how to reduce that error, the
dissipation in the MIC184 must be calculated, and its effects
examined as a temperature error.
In most applications, the INT output will be low for at most a
few milliseconds before the host sets it back to the high state,
making its duty cycle low enough that its contribution to self-
heating of the MIC184 is negligible. Similarly, the DATA pin
will in all likelihood have a duty cycle of substantially below
25% in the low state. These considerations, combined with
more typical device and application parameters, allow the
following calculation of typical device self-heating in interrupt-
mode:
If the part is to be used in comparator mode, calculations
similar to those shown above (accounting for the expected
value and duty cycle of I
device’s self-heating error.
In any application, the best test is to verify performance
against calculation in the final application environment. This
is especially true when dealing with systems for which some
of the thermal data, (for example, PC board thermal conduc-
tivity and/or ambient temperature), may be poorly defined or
unavailable except by empirical means.
Series Resistance
The operation of the MIC184 depends upon sensing the
different current levels. For remote temperature measure-
ments, this is done using an external diode connected be-
tween A2/T1 and ground.
Since this technique relies upon measuring the relatively
small voltage difference resulting from two levels of current
through the external diode, any resistance in series with the
external diode will cause an error in the temperature reading
