Differences between the ADT7461A and the ADT7461
with the ADT7461, there are some specification differences
between the two devices. A summary of these differences is
shown below in Table 1.

automatically cancel the effect of 1.5 kW (typical) of
resistance in series with the temperature monitoring diode.
When the ADT7461A is operating normally, the on−board
ADC operates in a free running mode. The analog input
multiplexer alternately selects either the on−chip
temperature sensor to measure its local temperature or the
remote temperature sensor. The ADC digitizes these signals
and the results are stored in the local and remote temperature
value registers.
with the corresponding high, low, and THERM temperature
limits, stored in eight on−chip registers. Out−of−limit
comparisons generate flags that are stored in the status
register. A result that exceeds the high temperature limit or
the low temperature limit causes the ALERT output to
assert. The ALERT output also asserts if an external diode
fault is detected. Exceeding the THERM temperature limits
causes the THERM output to assert low. The ALERT output
can be reprogrammed as a second THERM output.

Series Resistance Cancellation
ADT7461A, seen in series with the remote diode, is caused
by a variety of factors, including PCB track resistance and
track length. This series resistance appears as a temperature
offset in the remote sensor’s temperature measurement. This
error typically causes a 0.5°C offset per ohm of parasitic
resistance in series with the remote diode.
series resistance on the temperature reading, giving a more
accurate result, without the need for user characterization of
this resistance. The ADT7461A is designed to automatically
cancel typically up to 1.5 kW of resistance. By using an
advanced temperature measurement method, this process is
transparent to the user. This feature permits resistances to be
added to the sensor path to produce a filter, allowing the part
to be used in noisy environments. See the section on Noise
Filtering for more details.

figure shows the external sensor as a substrate transistor, but
it can equally be a discrete transistor. If a discrete transistor
is used, the collector is not grounded but is linked to the base.
To prevent ground noise interfering with the measurement,
the more negative terminal of the sensor is not referenced to
ground, but is biased above ground by an internal diode at
the D− input. C1 may be added as a noise filter (a
recommended maximum value of 1000 pF). However, a
better option in noisy environments is to add a filter, as
described in the Noise Filtering section. See the Layout
Considerations section for more information on C1.
