Anti-parallel Diode Connections
The EMC1404 supports reading two external diodes on the same set of pins (DP2, DN2). These
diodes are connected as shown in Figure 5.2. Due to the anti-parallel connection of these diodes, both
diodes will be reverse biased by a VBE voltage (approximately 0.7V). Because of this reverse bias,
only discrete thermal diodes (such as a 2N3904) are recommended to be placed on these pins.
External Diode Connections
The EMC1403 can be configured to measure a CPU substrate transistor, a discrete 2N3904 thermal
diode, or an AMD processor diode. The diodes can be connected in a variety of ways as indicated in
Figure 5.6.
The EMC1404 can be configured to measure a CPU substrate transistor, a discrete 2N3904 thermal
diode, or an AMD processor diode on the External Diode 1 channel only. The External Diode 2 and
External Diode 3 channels are configured to measure a pair of discrete anti-parallel diodes (shared on
pins DP2 and DN2). The supported configurations for the external diode channels are shown in
Figure 5.6.
