Multiple Channel 1°C Temperature Sensors with Beta Compensation
Datasheet
EMC1413. This is the default for EMC1414 for External Diode 1 only; it is disabled and cannot be
enabled for External Diode 2 or 3.
Bit 2-0 - BETAX[2:0] - These bits always reflect the current beta configuration settings. If auto-detection
circuitry is enabled, these bits will be updated automatically and writing to these bits will have no effect.
If the auto-detection circuitry is disabled, these bits will determine the beta configuration setting that is
used for their respective channels.
Care should be taken when setting the BETAX[2:0] bits when the auto-detection circuitry is disabled.
If the Beta Compensation factor is set at a beta value that is higher than the transistor beta, the circuit
may introduce measurement errors. When measuring a discrete thermal diode (such as 2N3904) or a
CPU diode that functions like a discrete thermal diode (such as an AMD processor diode), the
BETAX[2:0] bits should be set to ‘111b’.
