The MAX31730AUB+ is a 3-channel remote temperature sensor in 10 pin μMAX package. It monitors its own temperature and temperatures of three external diode connected transistors. The operating supply voltage is from 3V to 3.6V. Resistance cancellation compensates for high series resistance in circuit board traces and external thermal diode while beta compensation corrects for temperature measurement errors due to low beta sensing transistors. All temperature channels have programmable temperature thresholds. A status bit is set in thermal status registers and open drain THERM output asserts when measured temperature of channel crosses respective threshold. The 2-wire serial interface accepts SMBus protocols (write byte, read byte, send byte & receive byte) for reading temperature data and programming temperature thresholds. Any one of eight available slave addresses can be selected using address selection input (ADD) which can be connected to ground or connected to a grounded resist
