Product details

Overview

MAX6654EVKIT from Maxim Integrated is an evaluation kit for the MAX6654 dual-channel remote/local digital temperature sensor IC, supporting SMBus/I²C interface, ±1°C remote accuracy (70°C to 100°C), 0.125°C extended resolution, and parasitic resistance cancellation - used for thermal monitoring in desktops, servers, and embedded computing platforms.

For engineers reviewing the MAX6654EVKIT datasheet, MAX6654EVKIT pinout, MAX6654EVKIT application, or MAX6654EVKIT equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware configuration details, supported measurement modes (legacy/extended/PRC), alarm threshold programming, thermal layout guidance, and direct integration paths with host microcontrollers via SMBus.

Technical Context

The MAX6654EVKIT implements a complete reference design for the MAX6654 IC, including on-board 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor, 2200pF DXP–DXN noise filter, 10kΩ pull-up resistors on SMBCLK/SMBDATA, and configurable ADD0/ADD1 address pins - enabling immediate validation of remote diode sensing (e.g., 2N3904) and local die temperature acquisition.

It supports all MAX6654 operational modes: free-running auto-conversion (programmable 0.25–8Hz), single-shot triggering, standby mode (STBY pin control), and parasitic resistance cancellation (bit-4 configuration). The board routes DXP/DXN as parallel 10-mil traces with ground guards per Maxim's PCB layout guidelines.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Supported IC	MAX6654 temperature sensor IC only - not interchangeable with MAX6653/MAX6655.
Interface Support	SMBus 2-wire (I²C-compatible) with full Write Byte/Read Byte/Send Byte/Receive Byte protocol compliance.
Remote Accuracy	±1°C over +70°C to +100°C using discrete 2N3904/2N3906 or CPU substrate PNP junctions - no calibration required.
Resolution Modes	Legacy mode: 7-bit+sign (1°C LSB); Extended mode: 11-bit+sign (0.125°C LSB) at ≤1Hz conversion rate.
PRC Mode	Enabled via config register bit-4; cancels up to 100Ω series resistance error on remote diode leads.
Supply Range	+3.0V to +5.5V - compatible with standard 3.3V and 5V system rails; includes undervoltage lockout (2.8V typ).

FAQ

What is the primary function of the MAX6654EVKIT?

The MAX6654EVKIT is a fully assembled evaluation board for the MAX6654 temperature sensor IC. It enables immediate verification of dual-channel (remote diode + local die) temperature measurement, SMBus communication, programmable alarm thresholds, and parasitic resistance cancellation - without custom PCB design or component sourcing.

Does the MAX6654EVKIT support both legacy and extended resolution modes?

Yes, the MAX6654EVKIT supports both modes through firmware configuration of the MAX6654 IC. Legacy mode (1°C LSB) operates at >1Hz conversion rates; extended mode (0.125°C LSB) activates automatically at ≤1Hz and requires reading both main (00h/01h) and extended (10h/11h) registers - validated on the MAX6654EVKIT using Maxim's EVKIT software.

Can the MAX6654EVKIT be used with CPUs that have integrated thermal diodes?

Yes, the MAX6654EVKIT is explicitly designed for CPU die temperature monitoring via substrate PNP junctions. Its DXP/DXN routing, 2200pF filtering, and guard-trace layout comply with Maxim's recommendations for low-noise connection to processor thermal sensors - confirmed in application notes AN5312 and AN5313.

How does the MAX6654EVKIT implement parasitic resistance cancellation (PRC)?

The MAX6654EVKIT enables PRC by default via MAX6654 configuration register bit-4. When active, the MAX6654 performs an 11-bit conversion in <500ms that rejects series resistance errors up to 100Ω on the remote diode leads - a feature verified on the MAX6654EVKIT using calibrated resistive test loads per datasheet Figure 12.

Is the MAX6654EVKIT compatible with standard SMBus host controllers?

Yes, the MAX6654EVKIT uses a standard SMBus 2-wire interface compliant with SMBus v1.1 protocols (Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, Receive Byte) and supports slave addresses 0x18–0x1F via ADD0/ADD1 jumpers - interoperable with Intel EC, ASPEED BMC, and Linux i2c-tools without driver modification.
