Application Information
Noise Filtering
the industry standard practice was to place a capacitor across
the D+ and D− pins to help combat the effects of noise.
However, large capacitances affect the accuracy of the
temperature measurement, leading to a recommended
maximum capacitor value of 1,000 pF. While this capacitor
reduces the noise, it does not eliminate it, making it difficult
to use the sensor in a very noisy environment.
for eliminating the effects of noise on the external sensor.
The series resistance cancellation feature allows a filter to be
constructed between the external temperature sensor and the
part. The effect of any filter resistance seen in series with the
remote sensor is automatically cancelled from the
temperature result.

transistors built into processors or with discrete transistors.
Substrate transistors are generally PNP types with the
collector connected to the substrate. Discrete types can be
either PNP or NPN transistor connected as a diode
(base-shorted to collector). If an NPN transistor is used, the
collector and base are connected to D+ and the emitter to D−.
If a PNP transistor is used, the collector and base are
connected to D− and the emitter to D+.
discrete transistors, several factors should be taken into
consideration:
•
To factor this in, the user can write the DT value to the offset
register. It is then automatically added to or subtracted from
the temperature measurement by the ADT7461.
•
the best accuracy is obtained by choosing devices according
to the following criteria:
•

The ideality factor, nF, of the transistor is a measure of
the deviation of the thermal diode from ideal behavior.
The ADT7461 is trimmed for an nF value of 1.008. The
following equation may be used to calculate the error
introduced at a temperature T (°C), when using a
transistor whose nF does not equal 1.008. Consult the
processor data sheet for the nF values.
Some CPU manufacturers specify the high and low
current levels of the substrate transistors. The high

current levels do not match the current levels specified
by the CPU manufacturer, it may become necessary to
remove an offset. The CPUs data sheet advises whether
this offset needs to be removed and how to calculate it.
This offset may be programmed to the offset register. It
is important to note that if more than one offset must be
considered, the algebraic sum of these offsets must be
programmed to the offset register.
Base-emitter voltage greater than 0.25 V at 6 mA, at the
highest operating temperature.
Base-emitter voltage less than 0.95 V at 100 mA, at the
lowest operating temperature.
Base resistance less than 100 W.
