the MAX1617A can be forced to perform A/D conver-
sions via the one-shot command, despite the RUN/STOP
bit being high.
Activate hardware standby mode by forcing the STBY
pin low. In a notebook computer, this line may be con-
nected to the system SUSTAT# suspend-state signal.
The STBY pin low state overrides any software conversion
command. If a hardware or software standby command is
received while a conversion is in progress, the conversion
cycle is truncated, and the data from that conversion is not
latched into either temperature reading register. The previ-
ous data is not changed and remains available.
Supply-current drain during the 125ms conversion peri-
od is always about 450µA. Slowing down the conver-
sion rate reduces the average supply current (see
Typical Operating Characteristics ). Between conver-
sions, the instantaneous supply current is about 25µA
due to the current consumed by the conversion rate
timer. In standby mode, supply current drops to about
3µA. At very low supply voltages (under the power-on-
reset threshold), the supply current is higher due to the
address pin bias currents. It can be as high as 100µA,
depending on ADD0 and ADD1 settings.

From a software perspective, the MAX1617A appears as
a set of byte-wide registers that contain temperature
data, alarm threshold values, or control bits. A standard
SMBus 2-wire serial interface is used to read tempera-
ture data and write control bits and alarm threshold data.
Each A/D channel within the device responds to the
same SMBus slave address for normal reads and writes.
The MAX1617A employs four standard SMBus protocols:
Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte
(Figure 3). The shorter Receive Byte protocol allows
quicker transfers, provided that the correct data register
was previously selected by a Read Byte instruction. Use
caution with the shorter protocols in multi-master systems,
since a second master could overwrite the command
byte without informing the first master.
The temperature data format is 7 bits plus sign in two’s
complement form for each channel, with each data bit rep-
resenting 1°C (Table 2), transmitted MSB first. Measure-
ments are offset by +1/2°C to minimize internal rounding
errors; for example, +99.6°C is reported as +100°C.
