Product details
Overview
EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR from Microchip Technology (formerly SMSC) is a high-side current-sense IC with integrated ±1°C internal temperature monitoring, designed for real-time power management in voltage regulator and battery supply rails. It delivers 1% current measurement accuracy across 3V–24V bus voltages, supports SMBus 2.0 communication, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in a 10-pin MSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR datasheet, EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR pinout, EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR application, or EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR equivalent, this device enables precise high-side current and ambient temperature co-monitoring in space-constrained power systems where dual-parameter feedback informs thermal throttling, overcurrent protection, and dynamic power budgeting.
Technical Context
The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR integrates two independent ΣΔ ADCs: an 11-bit converter for current sensing (measuring voltage drop across external sense resistor) and a 13–15-bit converter for internal diode-based temperature measurement. It computes real-time power ratio (P = V × I) using synchronized source voltage and current samples.
It features dual alert outputs-ALERT (maskable, software-configurable limits) and THERM (non-maskable, critical threshold)-with open-drain logic compatible with 3.3V/5V systems. Unlike the EMC1701-1 variant, the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR omits hardware peak detection (DUR_SEL/TH_SEL pins absent), relying solely on SMBus-programmable thresholds and timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Accuracy | ±1% at full scale - ensures reliable overcurrent detection without calibration overhead in DC-DC output monitoring. |
| Bus Voltage Range | 3V to 24V - supports wide-input buck regulators, battery packs, and industrial 24V rail monitoring. |
| Temp Accuracy | ±1°C (–5°C < TA < 85°C) - enables accurate thermal margining for CPU/GPU VRMs and embedded controllers. |
| SMBus Interface | SMBus 2.0 compliant with block read/write - allows efficient multi-register access for real-time telemetry in host-managed power systems. |
| Package | 10-pin MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm) - surface-mount footprint optimized for dense PCB layouts near power stages. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C ambient - qualified for industrial and computing environments without derating. |
| Supply Current | 610–1100 µA (active), 300 µA (full standby) - low quiescent power preserves efficiency in always-on monitoring applications. |
Pinout & Package
EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR is housed in a RoHS-compliant 10-pin MSOP package (3.0 mm × 4.9 mm × 1.0 mm height) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. Pin 7 is GND; pins 1–6 and 8–10 are functional; no internal connection at pin 2 (N/C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 4) | Positive power supply input | Accepts 3V–24V bus voltage; powers internal circuitry and bias for sense inputs. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 12) | High-side current sense positive input | 24V-tolerant analog input measuring voltage at upstream side of sense resistor. |
| SENSE– (Pin 11) | High-side current sense negative input | 24V-tolerant analog input measuring voltage at downstream side of sense resistor; differential pair defines current direction. |
| ALERT (Pin 6) | Maskable interrupt output | Open-drain, active-low signal asserted when temperature, voltage, or current exceeds programmable limits. |
| THERM (Pin 5) | Critical fault output | Open-drain, active-low non-maskable output triggered by hard thermal or overcurrent thresholds. |
| SMDATA (Pin 7) | SMBus bidirectional data line | 5V-tolerant, requires external pull-up; carries command/data packets per SMBus 2.0 protocol. |
| SMCLK (Pin 8) | SMBus clock input | 5V-tolerant, requires external pull-up; synchronizes all SMBus transactions. |
| ADDR_SEL (Pin 9) | SMBus address configuration | Analog input selecting one of four fixed SMBus addresses (0x4C–0x4F) via resistor-to-ground. |
| GND (Pin 7, bottom pad) | Reference ground | Primary return path for analog and digital circuits; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional high-side current sensing | Enables charge/discharge monitoring in battery systems and reverse-current detection in redundant supplies. |
| Integrated power calculation (V × I) | Delivers real-time power ratio without host-side multiplication, reducing firmware overhead in thermal/power control loops. |
| Dual alert architecture (ALERT + THERM) | Separates recoverable warnings (ALERT) from system-critical faults (THERM), enabling tiered response in safety-critical designs. |
| 10-pin MSOP package with thermal pad | Provides superior thermal performance vs. SOIC alternatives while occupying <15 mm² PCB area near high-power components. |
| SMBus 2.0 with pin-selectable address | Allows up to four devices on same bus without address conflicts, simplifying multi-rail monitoring in servers or motherboards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current and temperature monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA226AIDGST | Higher current accuracy (±0.1%), no integrated temperature sensor; requires external thermistor or diode interface. | Best suited when ultra-precise current measurement dominates over integrated thermal sensing. | Select if current measurement fidelity > ±0.5% is required and temperature monitoring can be handled separately. |
| MAX31723ASA+ | Standalone ±0.5°C local temperature sensor with SMBus; no current sensing capability. | Applicable only for thermal-only monitoring; lacks voltage/current/power telemetry. | Choose only when replacing EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR's temperature function alone, not its combined sensing role. |
Compared with INA226AIDGST and MAX31723ASA+, the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR uniquely integrates calibrated current and temperature measurement in one 10-pin MSOP, eliminating inter-device synchronization errors and reducing BOM count for dual-parameter power telemetry.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus voltage the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR can monitor?
The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR supports a bus voltage range of 3V to 24V on its VDD, SENSE+, and SENSE– pins. Absolute maximum rating allows up to 26V transient exposure, but continuous operation above 24V is not specified. This makes EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR suitable for standard 12V and 24V industrial rails as well as laptop adapter outputs.
Does the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR include hardware-based peak current detection?
No. The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR does not include hardware peak detection circuitry. That feature is exclusive to the EMC1701-1 variant (which has DUR_SEL and TH_SEL pins). The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR relies entirely on SMBus-configurable software thresholds and sampling rates to detect current excursions.
What is the temperature accuracy specification for the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR?
The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR provides ±1°C temperature accuracy over the range –5°C < TA < 85°C, measured using its internal diode channel. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 2.2) of the official datasheet revision 1.2 and applies directly to the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR part number.
Can the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR operate from a separate low-voltage supply?
Yes. The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR supports dual power options: it may be powered from the monitored bus (VDD = VBUS) or from a separate low-voltage supply (e.g., 3.3V), enabling operation even when the main rail is below 3V - a key capability for brown-out detection and pre-power-up monitoring in the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR.
How many SMBus addresses does the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR support?
The EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR supports four fixed SMBus addresses (0x4C, 0x4D, 0x4E, 0x4F), selected via the ADDR_SEL pin using an external resistor to ground. This pin-strap configuration eliminates address collision risk in multi-device systems and is explicitly defined in Table 3.1 of the EMC1701-2-AIZL-TR datasheet.
