Product details
Overview
ADT7461AR-REEL from Analog Devices is a dual-channel digital temperature monitor IC with on-chip local sensor and remote diode sensing capability, ±1°C accuracy on remote channel, 0.25°C resolution, series resistance cancellation up to 3 kΩ, and SMBus 2-wire interface - used for thermal management in desktop PCs and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the ADT7461AR-REEL datasheet, ADT7461AR-REEL pinout, ADT7461AR-REEL application, or ADT7461AR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include remote sensor accuracy (±1°C), series resistance cancellation capability, dual THERM outputs, SMBus address 0x4C, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with ADM1032.
Technical Context
The ADT7461AR-REEL implements a three-current ΔVBE measurement method to enable automatic cancellation of up to 3 kΩ series resistance on D+ and D− lines, allowing robust remote sensing in noisy environments with optional RC filtering. It supports two temperature ranges: default 0°C to +127°C and extended −55°C to +150°C, selected via Bit 2 of the Configuration Register.
It features dual open-drain outputs - THERM (Pin 4) and configurable ALERT/THERM2 (Pin 6) - both programmable as overtemperature comparators with independent high/low limits. Communication occurs over SMBus-compliant 2-wire interface (SCLK/SDATA) at up to 400 kHz, with register-level control of conversion rate, offset calibration, and fault detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Accuracy | ±1°C (at +60°C to +100°C); enables precise CPU/GPU thermal throttling without external calibration |
| Local Accuracy | ±3°C (−40°C to +100°C); sufficient for ambient board temperature monitoring |
| Resolution | 0.25°C (remote), 1°C (local); supports fine-grained fan speed control and alarm hysteresis tuning |
| Series Resistance Cancellation | Up to 3 kΩ (typical); allows insertion of RC filters on D+/D− lines to suppress EMI without measurement error |
| SMBus Address | 0x4C (fixed for ADT7461AR-REEL); ensures interoperability with standard thermal management firmware |
| Supply Current | 170 μA operating / 5.5 μA standby; minimizes power impact in always-on thermal monitoring systems |
| Package | 8-lead SOIC; industry-standard footprint compatible with ADM1032 PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
ADT7461AR-REEL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (body width 3.9 mm, JEDEC MS-012AA), with exposed pad not connected internally. Thermal resistance θJA = 121°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.0 V to 5.5 V; undervoltage lockout activates below 2.2 V to prevent erroneous readings |
| D+ (Pin 2) | Remote sensor positive terminal | Connects to emitter/base of external PNP transistor or integrated diode; biased internally |
| D− (Pin 3) | Remote sensor negative terminal | Biased above GND by internal diode to reject ground noise; supports series RC filtering |
| THERM (Pin 4) | Primary overtemperature comparator output | Open-drain, active-low; drives cooling fans directly with pull-up to VDD |
| GND (Pin 5) | Supply ground reference | Single-point grounding recommended to avoid measurement offset from return path noise |
| ALERT/THERM2 (Pin 6) | Configurable secondary output | Software-selectable as SMBus alert interrupt or second THERM output via Configuration Register Bit 5 |
| SDATA (Pin 7) | SMBus bidirectional data line | Open-drain, requires external pull-up; supports multi-drop bus with collision detection |
| SCLK (Pin 8) | SMBus clock input | Asynchronous master-controlled timing; tolerates 400 kHz max frequency per SMBus spec |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel temperature sensing | Simultaneous local (on-die) and remote (external diode/transistor) measurement with independent limit registers |
| Series resistance cancellation | Automatically removes up to 3 kΩ parasitic resistance on D+/D− lines - eliminates need for manual calibration or layout constraints |
| Extended temperature range | Switchable −55°C to +150°C mode (via Config Reg Bit 2) enables monitoring of wide-range industrial sensors |
| Programmable THERM outputs | Two independent overtemperature comparators (THERM + ALERT/THERM2) support redundant fan control or multi-zone thermal shutdown |
| Low-power operation | 5.5 μA standby current allows continuous monitoring in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
Applications
| Desktop PC Thermal Management | Industrial PLC Temperature Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel temperature monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM1032AR-REEL | No series resistance cancellation; fixed 0°C to +127°C range; identical pinout and SMBus register map | Lacks noise-immune remote sensing; unsuitable where long D+/D− traces or EMI are present | Select ADM1032AR-REEL only when legacy compatibility is mandatory and PCB layout avoids series resistance |
| ADT7462ARZ-REEL7 | Includes built-in 10-bit ADC for auxiliary voltage monitoring; same remote accuracy but higher quiescent current (220 μA) | Supports voltage + temperature co-monitoring in space-constrained power supplies | Choose ADT7462ARZ-REEL7 when simultaneous rail voltage supervision is required alongside thermal management |
Compared with ADM1032AR-REEL, ADT7461AR-REEL adds critical series resistance cancellation and extended temperature range without changing PCB layout; versus ADT7462ARZ-REEL7, it offers lower power and simpler integration where voltage monitoring is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the SMBus address of the ADT7461AR-REEL?
The ADT7461AR-REEL has a fixed SMBus address of 0x4C. This is hardwired and cannot be changed via hardware pins or software configuration. The ADT7461-2 variant uses 0x4D, but ADT7461AR-REEL strictly uses 0x4C - confirmed in the General Description and Pin Configuration sections of Rev. B datasheet. Firmware must target this address to communicate with ADT7461AR-REEL.
Does the ADT7461AR-REEL support remote temperature sensing with series resistance cancellation?
Yes, the ADT7461AR-REEL supports automatic series resistance cancellation of up to 3 kΩ (typical) on the D+ and D− inputs. This feature compensates for PCB trace resistance and filter components, eliminating temperature offset errors without user calibration. It is enabled by default and operates transparently during normal ΔVBE measurements - a core differentiator from the pin-compatible ADM1032.
What is the accuracy specification of the ADT7461AR-REEL on its remote channel?
The ADT7461AR-REEL achieves ±1°C accuracy on the remote channel under conditions of +60°C ≤ TA ≤ +100°C, −55°C ≤ TD ≤ +150°C, and 3 V ≤ VDD ≤ 3.6 V. At wider temperature and supply ranges (−40°C ≤ TA ≤ +120°C, 3 V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5 V), remote accuracy is ±3°C. These values are specified in Table 1 of the Rev. B datasheet and apply directly to ADT7461AR-REEL.
Can the ADT7461AR-REEL operate in extended temperature range mode?
Yes, the ADT7461AR-REEL supports an extended temperature measurement range of −55°C to +150°C, selectable via Bit 2 of the Configuration Register (Address 0x03). When enabled, the device uses offset binary data format and updates temperature registers accordingly. The local sensor remains functional in this mode, though the IC itself must remain within its absolute maximum ambient range (−40°C to +120°C).
How many THERM outputs does the ADT7461AR-REEL provide?
The ADT7461AR-REEL provides up to two THERM outputs: dedicated THERM (Pin 4) and configurable ALERT/THERM2 (Pin 6). Pin 6's function is controlled by Bit 5 of the Configuration Register - setting it to '1' reassigns ALERT to a second THERM output. Both outputs are open-drain, active-low, and independently programmable with separate high/low limits, enabling dual-zone thermal control.
