Product details
Overview
ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 from onsemi is a fixed-address SST digital temperature and voltage monitor IC for PC thermal management. It integrates one on-chip temperature sensor, two remote diode inputs (D1±/D2±), and monitors three voltage rails: VCC (3.3 V supply), VCCP (processor core), and 2.5 V. Its 10-lead MSOP package supports SST Rev 1.0 interface with address selection via ADD pin (0x48–0x4A), enabling integration in desktop motherboard VRM monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 datasheet, ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 pinout, ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 application, or ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world monitoring cycle timing (121 ms total), remote sensor accuracy (±1.0°C at −40°C to +125°C), series resistance cancellation (1.5 kΩ), and SST bus-level timing parameters including tBIT (500 ns) and tHOLD (0.5×tBIT−M).
Technical Context
The ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 implements a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with built-in attenuators to support full-scale input ranges up to 4.0 V across VCC, VCCP, and 2.5 V channels. It uses a triple-current-switching method on remote diodes to measure ΔVBE, enabling cancellation of series resistance errors up to 1.5 kΩ and rejecting common-mode noise.
Its SST interface operates as a single-bidirectional wire client with fixed target addresses (0x48–0x4A) selected by ADD pin state (low/float/high). Temperature data is reported in 16-bit two's complement format (0.016°C resolution, ±512°C range); voltage data uses same format with ~1 mV resolution over ±32 V range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3.0–3.6 V - powers device and enables internal VCC monitoring |
| Local Temp Accuracy | ±1.75°C (−40°C to +100°C) - ensures reliable die-temperature tracking for CPU thermal throttling |
| Remote Temp Accuracy | ±1.0°C (−40°C to +125°C, TA = 25°C) - critical for accurate GPU or chipset junction sensing |
| Series Resistance Cancellation | 1.5 kΩ - compensates PCB trace resistance without external calibration |
| Total Monitoring Cycle Time | 121 ms (averaging enabled) - defines minimum polling interval for full local + dual-remote + 3-voltage readout |
| SST Bit Time (tBIT) | 500 ns - sets maximum communication speed on shared SST bus |
| ADC Resolution | 10 bits - provides sufficient granularity for voltage regulation feedback (e.g., VCCP ±10 mV detection) |
Pinout & Package
ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 is housed in a Pb-free 10-lead MSOP (Case 846AC), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm profile, optimized for space-constrained motherboard layouts near CPU VRMs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Power supply & monitored rail | 3.3 V ±10% supply input; also digitized as primary system voltage reference |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Analog/digital common return; must be low-impedance for ADC and remote diode bias stability |
| D1+ / D1− (Pins 3/4) | Remote sensor 1 differential input | Accepts NPN/PNP transistor or CPU thermal diode; internal bias diode on D1− rejects ground noise |
| D2+ / D2− (Pins 5/6) | Remote sensor 2 differential input | Independent second remote channel for GPU or chipset die temperature monitoring |
| VCCP (Pin 7) | Processor core voltage input | Monitors high-dynamic CPU rail (up to 4.0 V full scale) with 80–140 kΩ input impedance |
| 2.5 V (Pin 8) | Chipset supply voltage input | Tracks auxiliary 2.5 V rail; shares same ADC path and attenuation as VCCP |
| ADD (Pin 9) | Address select input | Three-state detection (GND/float/VCC) sets SST address to 0x48/0x49/0x4A for multi-device bus operation |
| SST (Pin 10) | Bidirectional SST data line | Single-wire serial interface compliant with SST Rev 1.0; requires 1 kΩ pull-up per specification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple temperature sensing | Simultaneous on-die + two remote diode channels enable comprehensive CPU/GPU/chipset thermal mapping |
| Three-rail voltage monitoring | VCC, VCCP, and 2.5 V inputs use shared 10-bit ADC with programmable attenuation-no external resistors needed |
| SST Rev 1.0 compliance | Fixed-address client operation eliminates bus enumeration overhead; supports ping, reset, and DIB identification |
| Remote diode series resistance cancellation | Hardware-based 1.5 kΩ compensation removes trace-resistance-induced error without software calibration |
| Configurable temperature offset | ±128°C offset (0.25°C step) via SST commands 0xE0/0xE1 corrects board-level EMI-induced temperature drift |
Applications
| Desktop Motherboard Thermal Management | CPU VRM Power Monitoring |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time thermal supervision of Intel/AMD CPU packages and companion chipsets on ATX/mATX motherboards.

| Industrial Sensor Net Node | Embedded PC Thermal Safety System |
|
Use Scenario: Distributed temperature sensing across multiple PCBs in factory automation controllers or network appliances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SST client node on daisy-chained bus; ADD pin configures unique address (0x48–0x4A) for multi-drop topology.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature-and-voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADT7481ARMZ-REEL7 | Uses SMBus/I²C instead of SST; no remote diode support; monitors only VCC, VCCP, 2.5 V, and local temp | Requires I²C host controller; lacks dual-remote capability for GPU/chipset sensing | Select when existing platform uses I²C and only single-point thermal monitoring is needed |
| LM95245CIMMX-1/NOPB | Supports dual remote diodes and 3 voltage inputs but uses SMBus; ±1.5°C remote accuracy vs. ±1.0°C for ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 | Compatible with standard SMBus masters; no SST bus dependency or address-pin configuration | Choose for drop-in replacement where SST infrastructure is absent and ±0.5°C lower remote accuracy is acceptable |
Compared with ADT7488AARMZ-RL7, ADT7481ARMZ-REEL7 sacrifices remote sensing for I²C compatibility, while LM95245CIMMX-1/NOPB retains dual-remote capability but trades SST simplicity for SMBus protocol overhead and reduced remote accuracy-making ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 optimal for SST-native PC platforms requiring highest remote precision.

FAQ
What is the function of the ADD pin on the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7?
The ADD pin on the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 selects the device's fixed SST target address (0x48, 0x49, or 0x4A) via three-state detection: grounded (0x48), floating (0x49), or pulled high (0x4A). This enables multiple ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 units on a single SST bus without address conflict, supporting scalable thermal monitoring across CPU, GPU, and chipset zones.
Does the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 support remote diode sensing with discrete transistors?
Yes, the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 supports both NPN and PNP discrete transistors as remote sensors. For NPN, connect emitter to D1− and base to D1+; for PNP, connect base to D1− and emitter to D1+. The internal bias diode on D1− lifts the negative terminal above ground to reject ground noise, and optional 1000 pF filtering capacitor (C1) may be added in noisy environments.
How does the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 handle series resistance in remote diode traces?
The ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 performs hardware-based series resistance cancellation of up to 1.5 kΩ by measuring ΔVBE at three current levels (I, N1×I, N2×I) and solving for temperature independent of lead resistance. This eliminates the need for manual calibration or external compensation networks, ensuring accurate remote readings even with long PCB traces or cable runs.
What is the full-scale voltage range for VCCP monitoring on the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7?
The ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 supports a full-scale input voltage of 4.0 V on the VCCP pin (Pin 7), accommodating typical processor core voltages (e.g., 0.8–1.5 V nominal) with ample headroom for transient overshoot. Input impedance is 80–140 kΩ, and measurement resolution is ~1 mV using its 16-bit two's complement voltage data format.
Can the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 detect open or short circuits on remote diodes?
Yes, the ADT7488AARMZ-RL7 returns 0x8000 (−32768 decimal) for either GetExt1Temp() or GetExt2Temp() command when the corresponding remote diode is open-circuited or short-circuited. This fault flag is part of the standard 16-bit two's complement temperature data format and enables immediate hardware-level failure detection without additional diagnostic firmware.
