available that shares the DP2 and DN2 pins. When in this mode, both the external diode 2 channel

and external diode 3 channel thermal diodes must be connected as diodes.

6.14.1

Anti-Parallel Diodes

The EMC2113 supports connecting two external diodes to the DN2 / DP3 and DP2 / DN3 pins. This

second diode is connected in an anti-parallel configuration with respect to the first diode. When the

the External Diode 2 channel is measured, the anti-parallel diode will be reverse biased. Likewise,

when the External Diode 3 channel is measured, the first diode will be reverse biased. CPU diodes

should not be used with anti-parallel diode connections.

6.14.2

Diode Faults

The EMC2113 actively detects an open and short condition on each measurement channel. When a

diode fault is detected, the temperature data MSByte is forced to a value of 80h and the FAULT bit is

set in the Status Register. When the External Diode 2 channel is configured to operate in APD mode,

the circuitry will detect independent open fault conditions; however, a short condition will be shared

between the External Diode 2 and External Diode 3 channels.
