Temperature Accuracy
Description
Microchip Technology Inc.s MCP9804 digital
temperature sensor converts temperatures between
-40C and +125C to a digital word with 0.25C/1C
(typical/maximum) accuracy.
The MCP9804 comes with user-programmable
registers that provide flexibility temperature sensing
applications. The registers allow user-selectable
settings such as Shutdown or low-power modes and
the specification of temperature Alert window limits and
Critical output limits. When the temperature changes
beyond the specified boundary limits, the MCP9804
outputs an Alert signal. The user has the option of
setting the Alert output signal polarity as an active-low
or active-high comparator output for thermostat
operation, or as temperature Alert interrupt output for
microprocessor-based systems. The Alert output can
also be configured as a Critical temperature output
only.
This sensor has an industry standard 100 kHz 2-wire,
SMBus/I
2
C compatible serial interface, allowing up to
eight or sixteen sensors to be controlled with a single
serial bus (see Table 3-2 for available Address codes).
These features make the MCP9804 ideal for
sophisticated multi-zone temperature-monitoring
applications.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
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) (A6, A5, A4, A3). This is shown in Table 3-2.
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).
3.4 Serial Clock Line (SCL)
The SCL is a clock input pin. All communication and
timing is relative to the signal on this pin. The clock is
generated by the host or master controller on the bus.
(See Section 4.0).
3.5 Temperature Alert, Open-Drain
Output (Alert)
The MCP9804 temperature alert output pin is an
open-drain output. The device outputs a signal when
the ambient temperature goes beyond the
user-programmed temperature limit. (See
Section 5.2.3).
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. The EP
may be connected to the system ground on the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB).

4.0 SERIAL COMMUNICATION
4.1 2-Wire Standard Mode I
2
C
Protocol-Compatible Interface
The MCP9804 serial clock input (SCL) and the
bidirectional serial data line (SDA) form a 2-wire
bidirectional Standard mode I
2
C compatible
communication port (refer to the Digital Input/Output
Pin Characteristics table and Sensor Serial
Interface Timing Specifications table).
The following bus protocol has been defined:
4.1.1 DATA TRANSFER
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 MCP9804 retains the
previously selected register. Therefore, it outputs 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 MCP9804
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 MCP9804 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 MCP9804. The address for
the MCP9804 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 MCP9804 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).
FIGURE 4-1: Device Addressing.

Read/Write A read or write to the MCP9804
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.

4.1.5 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 the
Sensor Serial Interface Timing Specifications section).
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
If the SCL stays low or high for the time specified by
t
OUT
, the MCP9804 temperature sensor resets the
serial interface. This dictates the minimum clock speed
as specified in the specification.

5.1 Registers
The MCP9804 has several registers that are
user-accessible. These registers include the
Temperature register, Configuration register,
Temperature Alert Upper-Boundary and
Lower-Boundary Limit registers, Critical Temperature
Limit register, Manufacturer Identification register and
Device Identification register.
The Temperature register is read-only, used to access
the ambient temperature data. This register is double
buffered and it is updated every t
CONV
. The
Temperature Alert Upper-Boundary and
Lower-Boundary Limit registers are read/writes
registers. If the ambient temperature drifts beyond the
user-specified limits, the MCP9804 outputs a signal
using the Alert pin (refer to Section 5.2.3). In addition,
the Critical Temperature Limit register is used to
provide an additional critical temperature limit.
The Configuration register provides access to
configure the MCP9804s various features. These
registers are described in further detail in the following
sections.
The registers are accessed by sending a Register
Pointer to the MCP9804 using the serial interface. This
is an 8-bit write-only pointer. However, the four Least
Significant bits are used as pointers and all unused bits
(bits 7-3) need to be cleared or set to 0. Register 5-1
describes the pointer or the address of each register.

5.1.1 SENSOR CONFIGURATION
REGISTER (CONFIG)
The MCP9804 has a 16-bit Configuration register
(CONFIG) that allows the user to set various functions
for a robust temperature monitoring system. Bits 10
thru 0 are used to select Temperature Alert output
hysteresis, device Shutdown or Low-Power mode,
temperature boundary and critical temperature lock,
and temperature Alert output enable/disable. In
addition, Alert output condition (output set for T
UPPER
and T
LOWER
temperature boundary or T
CRIT
only),
Alert output status and Alert output polarity and mode
(Comparator Output or Interrupt Output mode) are user
configurable.
The temperature hysteresis bits 10 and 9 can be used
to prevent output chatter when the ambient
temperature gradually changes beyond the
user-specified temperature boundary (see
Section 5.2.2. The Continuous Conversion or
Shutdown mode is selected using bit 8. In Shutdown
mode, the band gap temperature sensor circuit stops
converting temperature and the Ambient Temperature
register (T
A
) holds the previous temperature data (see
Section 5.2.1). Bits 7 and 6 are used to lock the user-
specified boundaries T
UPPER
, T
LOWER
and T
CRIT
to
prevent an accidental rewrite. The Lock bits are cleared
by reseting power. Bits 5 thru 0 are used to configure
the temperature Alert output pin. All functions are
described in Register 5-2 (see Section 5.2.3).

5.1.3 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
REGISTER (T
A
)
The MCP9804 uses a band gap temperature sensor
circuit to output analog voltage proportional to absolute
temperature. An internal ADC is used to convert the
analog voltage to a digital word. The digital word is
loaded to a 16-bit read-only Ambient Temperature
register (T
A
) that contains 13-bit temperature data in
twos complement format.
The T
A
register bits (bits 12 thru 0) are double-buffered.
Therefore, the user can access the register while, in the
background, the MCP9804 performs an analog-to-
digital conversion. The temperature data from the
ADC is loaded in parallel to the T
A
register at t
CONV
refresh rate.
In addition, the T
A
register uses three bits (bits 15, 14
and 13) to reflect the Alert pin state. This allows the
user to identify the cause of the Alert output trigger (see
Section 5.2.3); bit 15 is set to 1 if T
A
is greater than or
equal to T
CRIT
, bit 14 is set to 1 if T
A
is greater than
T
UPPER
and bit 13 is set to 1 if T
A
is less than T
LOWER
.
The T
A
register bit assignment and boundary
conditions are described in Register 5-4.

5.1.3.1 T
A
bits to Temperature Conversion
To convert the T
A
bits to decimal temperature, the
upper three boundary bits (bits 15, 14 and 13) must be
masked out. Then determine the sign bit (bit 12) to
check positive or negative temperature, shift the bits
accordingly and combine the upper and lower bytes of
the 16-bit register. The upper byte contains data for
temperatures greater than 32C while the lower byte
contains data for temperature less than 32C, including
fractional data. When combining the upper and lower
bytes, the upper byte must be Right-shifted by 4 bits (or
multiply by 2
4
) and the lower byte must be Left-shifted
by 4 bits (or multiply by 2
-4
). Adding the results of the
shifted values provides the temperature data in decimal
format, see Equation 5-1.
The temperature bits are in twos compliment format,
therefore, positive temperature data and negative
temperature data are computed differently. Equation 5-
1 shows the temperature computation. The example
instruction code outlined in Figure 5-5 shows the

5.2 SENSOR FEATURE DESCRIPTION
5.2.1 SHUTDOWN MODE
Shutdown mode disables all power-consuming
activities (including temperature sampling operations)
while leaving the serial interface active. This mode is
selected by setting bit 8 of CONFIG to 1. In this mode,
the device consumes I
SHDN
. It remains in this mode
until bit 8 is cleared 0 to enable Continuous
Conversion mode, or until power is recycled.
The Shutdown bit (bit 8) cannot be set to 1 while bits
6 and 7 of CONFIG (Lock bits) are set to 1. However,
it can be cleared 0 or returned to Continuous
Conversion while locked.
In Shutdown mode, all registers can be read or written.
However, the serial bus activity increases the shutdown
current. In addition, if the device is in shutdown while
the Alert pin is asserted, the device will retain the active
state during shutdown. This increases the shutdown
current due to the additional Alert output current.
5.2.2 TEMPERATURE HYSTERESIS
(T
HYST
)
A hysteresis of 0C, 1.5C, 3C or 6C can be selected
for the T
UPPER
, T
LOWER
and T
CRIT
temperate
boundaries using bits 10 and 9 of CONFIG. The
hysteresis applies for decreasing temperature only (hot
to cold), or as temperature drifts below the specified
limit.
The hysteresis bits can not be changed if either of the
lock bits, bits 6 and 7 of CONFIG, are set to 1.
The T
UPPER
, T
LOWER
and T
CRIT
boundary conditions
are described graphically in Figure 5-11.
5.2.3 ALERT OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
The Alert output can be enabled using bit 3 of CONFIG
(Alert output control bit) and can be configured as
either a comparator output or as Interrupt Output mode
using bit 0 of CONFIG (Alert mode). The polarity can
also be specified as an active-high or active-low using
bit 1 of CONFIG (Alert polarity). This is an open drain
output and requires a pull-up resistor.
When the ambient temperature increases above the
critical temperature limit, the Alert output is forced to a
comparator output (regardless of bit 0 of CONFIG).
When the temperature drifts below the critical
temperature limit minus hysteresis, the Alert output
automatically returns to the state specified by bit 0 of
CONFIG.

FIGURE 5-10: Active-Low Alert Output
Configuration.
The status of the Alert output can be read using bit 4 of
CONFIG (Alert status). This bit can not be set to 1 in
shutdown mode.
Bit 7 and 6 of the CONFIG register can be used to lock
the T
UPPER
, T
LOWER
and T
CRIT
registers. The bits
prevent false triggers at the Alert output due to an
accidental rewrite to these registers.
The Alert output can also be used as a critical
temperature output using bit 2 of CONFIG (critical
output only). When this feature is selected, the Alert
output becomes a comparator output. In this mode, the
interrupt output configuration (bit 0 of CONFIG) is
ignored.
5.2.3.1 Comparator Mode
Comparator mode is selected using bit 0 of CONFIG. In
this mode, the Alert output is asserted as active-high or
active-low using bit 1 of CONFIG. Figure 5-11 shows
the conditions that toggle the Alert output.
If the device enters Shutdown mode with asserted Alert
output, the output remains asserted during Shutdown.
The device must be operating in Continuous
Conversion mode for t
CONV
; the T
A
vs. T
UPPER
,
T
LOWER
and T
CRIT
boundary conditions need to be
satisfied in order for the Alert output to deassert.
Comparator mode is useful for thermostat-type
applications, such as turning on a cooling fan or
triggering a system shutdown when the temperature
exceeds a safe operating range.
5.2.3.2 Interrupt Mode
In the Interrupt mode, the Alert output is asserted as
active-high or active-low (depending on the polarity
configuration) when T
A
drifts above or below T
UPPER
and T
LOWER
limits. The output is deasserted by setting
bit 5 (Interrupt Clear) of CONFIG. Shutting down the
device will not reset or deassert the Alert output. This
mode can not be selected when the Alert output is used
as critical temperature output only, using bit 2 of CONFIG.
This mode is designed for interrupt driven microcontroller
based systems. The microcontroller receiving the
interrupt will have to acknowledge the interrupt by setting
bit 5 of CONFIG register from the MCP9804.

5.2.4 TEMPERATURE RESOLUTION
The MCP9804 is capable of providing a temperature
data with 0.5C to 0.0625C resolution. The Resolution
can be selected using the Resolution register
(Register 5-7) which is located in address
00001000b. It provides measurement flexibility. A
0.0625C resolution is set as POR default by factory.

6.0 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
6.1 Layout Considerations
The MCP9804 does not require any additional
components besides the master controller in order to
measure temperature. However, it is recommended
that a decoupling capacitor of 0.1 F to 1 F be used
between the V
DD
and GND pins. A high-frequency
ceramic capacitor is recommended. It is necessary for
the capacitor to be located as close as possible to the
power and ground pins of the device in order to provide
effective noise protection.
In addition, good PCB layout is key for better thermal
conduction from the PCB temperature to the sensor
die. For good temperature sensitivity, add a ground
layer under the device pins as shown in Figure 6-1.
6.2 Thermal Considerations
A potential for self-heating errors can exist if the
MCP9804 SDA, SCL and Event lines are heavily
loaded with pull-ups (high current). Typically, the
self-heating error is negligible because of the relatively
small current consumption of the MCP9804. A
temperature accuracy error of approximately 0.5C
could result from self-heating if the communication pins
sink/source the maximum current specified.
For example, if the Event output is loaded to maximum
I
OL
, Equation 6-1 can be used to determine the effect
of self-heating.
EQUATION 6-1: EFFECT OF
SELF-HEATING
At room temperature (T
A
= +25C) with maximum
I
DD
= 500 A and V
DD
= 3.6V, the self-heating due to
power dissipation T

is 0.2C for the DFN-8 package

and 0.5C for the TSSOP-8 package.
