Description

The STTS3000 is targeted for DIMM modules in mobile personal computing platforms

(laptops), servers and other industrial applications. The thermal sensor (TS) in the

STTS3000 is compliant with the JEDEC specification TS3000 which defines memory

module thermal sensors requirements for mobile platforms.

The TS provides space as well as cost savings for mobile and server platform dual inline

memory modules (DIMM) manufacturers, as it is packaged in the compact 2 mm x 3 mm

8-lead TDFN package with a thinner maximum height of 0.80 mm. The DN package is

compliant to JEDEC MO-229, variation WCED-3.

The digital temperature sensor has a programmable 9-12 bit analog-to-digital converter

(ADC) which monitors and digitizes the temperature to a resolution of up to 0.0625 °C. The

default resolution is 0.25 °C/LSB (10-bit). The typical accuracies over these temperature

ranges are:

●

±2 °C over the full temperature measurement range of –40 °C to 125 °C

●

±1 °C in the +40 °C to +125 °C active temperature range, and

●

±0.5 °C in the +75 °C to +95 °C monitor temperature range

The temperature sensor in the STTS3000 is specified for operating at supply voltages from

2.3 V to 3.6 V. Operating at 3.3 V, the typical supply current is 160 µA (includes SMBus

communication current).

The on-board sigma delta ADC converts the measured temperature to a digital value that is

calibrated in °C. For Fahrenheit applications, a lookup table or conversion routine is

required. The STTS3000 is factory-calibrated and requires no external components to

measure temperature.

The digital temperature sensor has user-programmable registers that provide the

capabilities for DIMM temperature-sensing applications. The open drain event output pin is

active when the monitoring temperature exceeds a programmable limit, or it falls above or

below an alarm window. The user has the option to set the event output as a critical

temperature output. This pin can be configured to operate in either a comparator mode for

thermostat operation or in interrupt mode.
