information from two separate sources, both silicon junction
diodes, with a basic accuracy of 1 C. One is located on the
MAX1617 die; the other is connected externally. The
external diode may be located on another IC die. The
analog–to–digital converter on the MAX1617 alternately
converts temperature data from the two sensors and stores
them separately in internal registers.
ALERT (SMBALERT) interrupt output. The interrupt is
triggered when one or more of four preset temperature
thresholds are tripped (see Figure 1). These four thresholds
are user–programmable via the SMBus port. Additionally,
the temperature data can be read at any time through the
SMBus port. Nine SMBus addresses are programmable for
the MAX1617, which allows for a multi–sensor
configuration. Also, there is low–power Standby mode
where temperature acquisition is suspended.

converter is halted, and the temperature data registers are
frozen. The SMBus port operates normally. Standby mode
can be enabled with either the STBY input pin or the CHIP
STOP bit in the CONFIG register. The following table
summarizes this operation.
