Thermal Inertia and Self-Heating
sensing diode and/or the internal temperature sensor being
at the same temperature as the environment being measured;
many factors can affect this. Ideally, the sensor should be in
good thermal contact with the part of the system being
measured. If it is not, the thermal inertia caused by the
sensor’s mass causes a lag in the response of the sensor to a
temperature change. With a remote sensor, this should not be
a problem since it will be either a substrate transistor in the
processor or a small package device, such as the SOT-23,
placed in close proximity to it.
processor and only monitors the general ambient
temperature around the package. The thermal time constant
of the SOIC-8 package in still air is about 140 seconds, and
if the ambient air temperature quickly changed by 100
degrees, it would take about 12 minutes (5 time constants)
for the junction temperature of the ADT7461 to settle within
1 degree of this. In practice, the ADT7461 package is in
electrical, and hence thermal, contact with a PCB and may
also be in a forced airflow. How accurately the temperature
of the board and/or the forced airflow reflects the
temperature to be measured also affects the accuracy.
Self-heating due to the power dissipated in the ADT7461 or
the remote sensor causes the chip temperature of the device
or remote sensor to rise above ambient. However, the current
forced through the remote sensor is so small that self-heating
is negligible. With the ADT7461, the worst-case condition
occurs when the device is converting at 64 conversions per
second while sinking the maximum current of 1 mA at the
ALERT and THERM output. In this case, the total power
dissipation in the device is about 4.5 mW. The thermal
resistance, q
Layout Considerations
the ADT7461 is measuring very small voltages from the
remote sensor, so care must be taken to minimize noise
induced at the sensor inputs. The following precautions
should be taken:
Accuracy depends on the temperature of the remote

To minimize inductance and reduce noise pick-up, a
5 mil track width and spacing is recommended.

affect the measurement. When using long cables, the filter
capacitance may be reduced or removed.

copper/solder joints are used, make sure that they
are in both the D+ and D− path and at the same
temperature.
Thermocouple effects should not be a major
problem as 1°C corresponds to about 200 mV, and
thermocouple voltages are about 3 mV/°C of
temperature difference. Unless there are two

between them, thermocouple voltages should be
much less than 200 mV.

capacitor may be placed across D+ and D− close to
the ADT7461. This capacitance can effect the
temperature measurement, so care must be taken to
ensure any capacitance seen at D+ and D− is a
maximum of 1,000 pF. This maximum value
includes the filter capacitance plus any cable or stray
capacitance between the pins and the sensor diode.
8 inches, the use of twisted pair cable is
recommended. This works up to about 6 to 12 feet.
For extremely long distances (up to 100 feet), use
a shielded twisted pair, such as the Belden No.
8451 microphone cable. Connect the twisted pair
to D+ and D− and the shield to GND close to the
ADT7461. Leave the remote end of the shield
unconnected to avoid ground loops.
