Product details
Overview
MCP9843T-BE/MNY from Microchip Technology is a JEDEC JC42.4-TSE3000B3-compliant digital temperature sensor with ±0.2°C typical accuracy from +75°C to +95°C, 2-wire I²C/SMBus interface, and user-programmable event boundaries for thermal monitoring in memory modules. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws 200 µA typical supply current, and features an open-drain Event output for alert signaling in DIMM thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MCP9843T-BE/MNY datasheet, MCP9843T-BE/MNY pinout, MCP9843T-BE/MNY application, or MCP9843T-BE/MNY equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (UDFN-8), confirmed pin functions (A0–A2, SDA, SCL, Event, VDD, GND, EP), JEDEC compliance scope, resolution options (0.0625°C to 0.5°C), and validated alternative parts for SPD-adjacent thermal sensing roles.
Technical Context
The MCP9843T-BE/MNY integrates a band-gap temperature sensor and a Delta-Sigma ADC with programmable resolution (0.0625°C to 0.5°C per LSB), enabling configurable conversion time (65–125 ms) and thermal event detection via TUPPER/TLOWER/TCRIT registers. Its I²C interface supports up to 400 kHz bus frequency and includes built-in timeout protection (25–35 ms) for robust communication.
It implements JEDEC JC42.4-TSE3000B3 specification for memory module thermal sensors, with Grade B accuracy across -20°C to +125°C, power supply rejection of ±0.3°C/V over 2.7–5.5V, and thermal response of 0.7 s (63% in oil bath) in UDFN-8 package. The Event pin supports active-high/active-low comparator or interrupt modes, configurable via CONFIG register bits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STS401-DIS-BF | ±0.1°C max accuracy over 0–100°C; I²C interface; no Event pin; 1.08–3.6 V supply | Lacks programmable thermal alerts and JEDEC SPD alignment; suited for general-purpose sensing, not DIMM-specific use | Select when highest absolute accuracy is required and alert functionality is handled externally |
| MCP98243T-BE/MNY | Includes 2 Kbit EEPROM for SPD data storage; identical sensor core and pinout; shares same JEDEC compliance | Required where vendor ID, module timing, and SPD checksums must be stored on-module alongside temperature data | Choose only if EEPROM functionality is needed - otherwise MCP9843T-BE/MNY offers lower cost and simpler firmware |
Compared with STS401-DIS-BF, MCP9843T-BE/MNY provides JEDEC-aligned event signaling and wider voltage range but trades off 0.1°C absolute accuracy; versus MCP98243T-BE/MNY, it removes EEPROM overhead to reduce power and simplify initialization while retaining full thermal sensing capability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MCP9843T-BE/MNY?
The MCP9843T-BE/MNY operates across -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with specified accuracy performance from -20°C to +125°C. Its thermal sensor core remains functional beyond the specified range, though accuracy degrades outside -20°C to +125°C per JEDEC TSE3000B3 Grade B limits. The UDFN-8 package's θJA of 41°C/W supports reliable operation in thermally constrained DIMM layouts.
Does the MCP9843T-BE/MNY include EEPROM memory?
No, the MCP9843T-BE/MNY does not include EEPROM memory. It is the temperature-sensing-only variant of the family. The MCP98243T-BE/MNY is the version that integrates 2 Kbit serial EEPROM for SPD data storage. The MCP9843T-BE/MNY shares identical pinout, accuracy, and JEDEC compliance but omits EEPROM circuitry to reduce cost and power consumption.
How is the I²C address configured on the MCP9843T-BE/MNY?
The MCP9843T-BE/MNY uses three hardware address pins - A0, A1, and A2 - to configure its 7-bit I²C slave address. These pins connect to VDD (logic 1) or GND (logic 0) to set bits A0–A2, while the fixed MSBs are '0011', resulting in base address 0x18. This allows up to eight MCP9843T-BE/MNY devices on a single I²C bus, each with a unique address determined by their A0–A2 strap configuration.
What is the function of the EP (exposed pad) on the MCP9843T-BE/MNY UDFN-8 package?
The EP (exposed thermal pad) on the MCP9843T-BE/MNY is internally connected to GND and serves as a primary thermal conduction path from the silicon die to the PCB. It must be soldered to a dedicated GND copper pour to achieve the specified θJA of 41°C/W. Leaving EP unconnected or floating degrades thermal performance and may cause junction temperature exceedance under sustained load.
Can the MCP9843T-BE/MNY operate from a 1.8 V supply?
No, the MCP9843T-BE/MNY is not rated for 1.8 V operation. Its specified JEDEC-compliant voltage range is 3.0 V to 3.6 V, with full functionality guaranteed from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. While the device may power up at 1.8 V, key parameters-including accuracy, I²C timing, and Event output behavior-are not characterized or guaranteed below 2.7 V. For 1.8 V systems, consider the MCP98243T-BE/MNY, which supports 1.8–5.5 V for its EEPROM block but retains the same sensor voltage constraints.
