Product details
Overview
MCP9805T-BE/MNY from Microchip Technology is a JEDEC JC42.4-compliant digital temperature sensor IC designed for memory module thermal monitoring. It delivers ±1°C max accuracy from +75°C to +95°C, 0.25°C/LSB resolution, and operates on 3.0–3.6V supply with 200 µA typical active current. It serves as the primary thermal sensing element in DDR DIMM SPD subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MCP9805T-BE/MNY datasheet, MCP9805T-BE/MNY pinout, MCP9805T-BE/MNY application, or MCP9805T-BE/MNY equivalent, key selection criteria include its JEDEC JC42.4 compliance, programmable event boundaries (TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT), open-drain Event output configurability (comparator/interrupt/critical mode), and dual-package availability (2×3 DFN-8 and TSSOP-8).
Technical Context
The MCP9805T-BE/MNY integrates a bandgap temperature sensor with a ΔΣ ADC to convert -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature into a 16-bit two's complement digital word. Its register architecture includes read-only TA (ambient temperature), configurable boundary registers (TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT), and a 16-bit CONFIG register controlling shutdown, hysteresis (0/1.5/3/6°C), event polarity, and output mode.
It implements a 2-wire SMBus/Standard-mode I²C interface (100 kHz max) with factory-set 7-bit slave address prefix 0b0011xxx and user-selectable A0–A2 pins, enabling up to eight devices on one bus. The Event pin functions as an open-drain output with programmable assertion logic tied to boundary crossing, critical trip, or window violation detection.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 2×3 mm DFN-8 (exposed pad) and 8-pin TSSOP - both JEDEC MO-220 compliant and optimized for DIMM edge-mount placement near DRAM banks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| SDA | Open-Drain Serial Data | Bidirectional I²C data line; requires external pull-up to VDD_SPD (3.3V); supports multi-master arbitration |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Asynchronous clock input driven by host controller; defines timing for all register reads/writes and event sampling |
| Event | Open-Drain Temperature Alert | Configurable output for thermal interrupt, comparator, or critical shutdown signal; sinks ≥3 mA at VOL ≤0.4V |
| VDD | Power Supply | 3.0–3.6V input; powers bandgap sensor, ΔΣ ADC, and I²C interface; decoupling capacitor required per JEDEC SPD spec |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC JC42.4 Compliance | Fully satisfies Mobile Platform Memory Module Thermal Sensor standard - ensures interoperability with DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers and SPD firmware |
| Programmable Event Boundaries | TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT registers allow runtime configuration of thermal trip points without hardware change - essential for adaptive memory thermal management |
| Configurable Event Output Mode | Supports comparator (active-high/low), interrupt, or critical-only output via CONFIG register bits - enables direct connection to PMIC reset inputs or CPU thermal interrupt lines |
| Temperature Hysteresis Control | 0°C/1.5°C/3°C/6°C selectable hysteresis prevents output chatter during slow thermal drift near thresholds - improves system stability in marginally heated modules |
| Shutdown Mode with Register Retention | Reduces current to 0.1 µA while preserving all register contents and I²C accessibility - allows rapid wake-up and eliminates reinitialization overhead |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTS2002 | ±0.5°C max accuracy from 0°C to +65°C; 1.7–3.6V supply; no critical temperature register (TCRIT) | Lacks JEDEC JC42.4 compliance and TCRIT functionality - unsuitable for DDR memory thermal management requiring critical trip | Select only for non-JEDEC general-purpose sensing where tighter mid-range accuracy is prioritized over memory-standard features |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | ±2°C max accuracy from -25°C to +100°C; 2.8–5.5V supply; fixed 0.5°C/LSB resolution; no hysteresis control | Does not meet JEDEC JC42.4; lacks programmable boundaries and event output flexibility - limited to basic overtemperature alerts | Use only in cost-sensitive, non-memory applications where ±2°C tolerance and simple interrupt output suffice |
Compared with STTS2002 and LM75BIMM/NOPB, the MCP9805T-BE/MNY uniquely combines JEDEC JC42.4 compliance, 0.25°C resolution, three independent programmable boundaries (TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT), and configurable hysteresis - making it the only qualified choice for DDR memory thermal monitoring in production DIMMs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MCP9805T-BE/MNY?
The MCP9805T-BE/MNY has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and a specified temperature range of -20°C to +125°C per JEDEC JC42.4. Its accuracy is guaranteed at ±1°C max from +75°C to +95°C and ±2°C max from +40°C to +125°C. This makes MCP9805T-BE/MNY suitable for high-reliability memory thermal monitoring in demanding environments.
Does the MCP9805T-BE/MNY support I²C communication?
Yes, the MCP9805T-BE/MNY supports Standard-mode I²C and SMBus-compatible 2-wire serial communication at up to 100 kHz. It uses a 7-bit slave address with factory-set upper bits (0b0011) and user-configurable A0–A2 pins, allowing up to eight MCP9805T-BE/MNY devices on a single bus. The SDA and SCLK pins are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors.
How does the Event output function on the MCP9805T-BE/MNY?
The Event pin on the MCP9805T-BE/MNY is an open-drain output that asserts when ambient temperature crosses user-programmed boundaries (TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT). Its behavior is fully configurable via the CONFIG register: it can operate as an active-high/low comparator, interrupt signal, or critical-only output. The MCP9805T-BE/MNY also supports programmable hysteresis (0/1.5/3/6°C) to prevent chatter near trip points.
What package options are available for the MCP9805T-BE/MNY?
The MCP9805T-BE/MNY is offered in two JEDEC-compliant packages: 2×3 mm DFN-8 (with exposed thermal pad) and 8-pin TSSOP. Both packages support the same pinout and electrical specifications. The DFN-8 offers lower thermal resistance (θJA = 41°C/W), while the TSSOP provides easier manual assembly and optical inspection - enabling flexible selection for DIMM layout constraints.
Is the MCP9805T-BE/MNY compliant with JEDEC JC42.4?
Yes, the MCP9805T-BE/MNY is explicitly designed and tested to meet JEDEC Standard JC42.4 for Mobile Platform Memory Module Thermal Sensors. This compliance ensures interoperability with DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers, validates its ±1°C accuracy in the +75°C to +95°C active range, and confirms support for required features including programmable boundaries, critical trip, and SMBus interface timing.
