Resistance error correction is an automatic feature that eliminates the need to characterize and
compensate for series resistance in the external diode lines. The EMC1043 corrects for as much as
100 ohms of series resistance.
When using a temperature sensor that does not include resistance error correction, voltage developed
across the parasitic resistance in the external diode path produces an error in the reported
temperature. The error introduced by this resistance is approximately +0.7°C per ohm. Sources of
series resistance are PCB trace resistance, on die (i.e. on the processor) metal resistance, bulk
resistance in the base and emitter of the temperature transistor.
When monitoring the thermal diode of an AMD K8 processor, the Resistance Error Correction must be
disabled for accurate temperature measurements. This is accomplished by clearing the REC bit in the
configuration 2 register (see
with AMD Processors” for more details.
The Beta Compensation function automatically eliminates temperature errors caused by beta variation
in modern, low beta transistors used for monitoring processor temperatures.
differing currents are applied to temperature transistors can cause significant temperature errors in
monitoring devices. As modern processor geometries shrink the trend is for transistor betas to
decrease, which exacerbates temperature errors.
