Product details
Overview
NE1618DS,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a dual-channel SMBus-compatible temperature monitor IC for microprocessor systems. It measures local on-chip temperature with ±2 °C accuracy and remote diode temperature with ±1.5 °C (1 °C resolution) or ±1.0 °C (0.125 °C resolution), operates from 3.0–3.6 V, draws 80 µA active current, and uses a 16-lead QSOP package. It is deployed in notebook computers and telecom equipment for real-time thermal management.
For engineers reviewing the NE1618DS,112 datasheet, NE1618DS,112 pinout, NE1618DS,112 application, or NE1618DS,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-sensor architecture, SMBus 2-wire interface timing compliance, programmable over/under-temperature alarm thresholds, extended-mode remote resolution (0.125 °C), and hardware/software standby control via STBY pin and RUN/STOP bit.
Technical Context
The NE1618DS,112 implements a sigma-delta A-to-D converter for local and remote temperature sensing, with automatic conversion rate-dependent mode selection: basic mode (1 °C remote resolution) at ≥2 Hz rates and extended mode (0.125 °C remote resolution) at ≤0.7 Hz rates. Its SMBus slave interface supports nine configurable 7-bit addresses via ADD0/ADD1 pins and includes open-drain SDATA/SCLK with 10 kΩ pull-ups.
It features dedicated registers for local/remote high/low limits (RIHL/RILL/REHL/RELL), status flag reporting (bit 7 = busy), and one-shot conversion triggering (OSHT command 0Fh). Remote sensing requires a diode-connected PNP (e.g., Intel CPU die sensor or 2N3904), with D+ as anode and D– as cathode, and supports extended data reconstruction from RET (8 MSB) and REET (3 LSB) registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Local temp accuracy | ±2 °C over 0–120 °C - enables reliable board-level thermal monitoring without calibration |
| Remote temp accuracy | ±1.0 °C (0.125 °C res.) or ±1.5 °C (1 °C res.) - supports precise die-temperature tracking of CPUs/GPUs |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with modern low-voltage logic rails and avoids level-shifting overhead |
| Active supply current | 80–270 µA depending on conversion rate - scales with measurement frequency for power-aware designs |
| Standby current | 3 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power thermal supervision during system sleep states |
| SMBus address options | 9 unique 7-bit addresses (via ADD0/ADD1) - allows up to nine NE1618DS,112 devices on one bus |
| Conversion time | 150 ms (basic), 750 ms (extended) - defines minimum interval between valid remote readings |
Pinout & Package
NE1618DS,112 is housed in a 16-lead QSOP (SOT519-1) package, also referenced as SSOP16. Pin 1 is TEST1 (factory use only); pins 7 and 8 are GND; pin 2 is VDD (3.0–3.6 V supply, decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor); pins 3 and 4 are D+ and D– for remote diode connection (anode to D+, cathode to D–); pins 6 and 10 are ADD1 and ADD0 for address configuration; pin 11 is ALERT (open-drain interrupt); pins 12 and 14 are SDATA and SCLK (SMBus interface); pin 15 is STBY (hardware standby control); all TEST pins (1,5,9,13,16) must be floating or tied to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 2) | Positive supply input | Must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor; under-voltage lockout activates below 2.1 V |
| D+ / D– (Pins 3/4) | Remote diode interface | D+ = anode, D– = cathode; accepts discrete transistors (2N3904) or integrated PNP diodes (Intel CPUs) |
| ADD0 / ADD1 (Pins 10/6) | Address configuration inputs | Three-level logic (GND/VDD/NC) sets one of nine SMBus slave addresses; latched at power-up and start-of-conversion |
| STBY (Pin 15) | Hardware standby enable | LOW = disables A-to-D converter and forces <10 µA standby current; HIGH = normal operation |
| ALERT (Pin 11) | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts LOW when local/remote temp exceeds programmed high/low limits; requires external pull-up |
| SDATA / SCLK (Pins 12/14) | SMBus serial interface | Open-drain signals; require ~10 kΩ pull-ups; support 0–100 kHz clock; no timeout capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-sensor measurement | Simultaneous local (on-chip) and remote (diode) temperature acquisition with independent limit registers |
| Resolution-selectable remote sensing | Automatically switches between 1 °C (fast rates ≥2 Hz) and 0.125 °C (slow rates ≤0.7 Hz) based on conversion rate register value |
| Programmable alarm thresholds | Independent high/low limits for both channels stored in writable registers (WIHL/WILL/WEHL/WELL) |
| Low-power standby modes | Hardware (STBY pin) and software (RUN/STOP bit) standby options; 3 µA typical quiescent current |
| SMBus-compliant interface | Full 2-wire protocol support including status register (RS), one-shot command (OSHT), and device ID read (RDID) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM94022QDCNTQ1 | Single-channel remote-only sensor; ±0.7 °C accuracy; 1.7–3.6 V supply; I²C interface | Lacks local sensing and SMBus alert functionality; no hardware STBY pin | Choose LM94022QDCNTQ1 only if remote-only monitoring suffices and I²C is preferred over SMBus |
| MAX6642AESA+ | Dual-channel with ±1 °C local/±2 °C remote accuracy; 3–5.5 V supply; SMBus 1.1 compliant | Higher voltage range but lacks extended 0.125 °C resolution mode; no TEST pin constraints | Choose MAX6642AESA+ for broader supply compatibility where 0.125 °C resolution is not required |
Compared with NE1618DS,112, LM94022QDCNTQ1 offers higher remote accuracy but omits local sensing and SMBus alert signaling, while MAX6642AESA+ supports wider voltage operation but sacrifices the precision extended-mode remote measurement essential for CPU die monitoring.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature sensor requirement for NE1618DS,112?
The NE1618DS,112 requires a diode-connected PNP transistor as the remote sensor, such as the 2N3904 or the integrated PNP diode found on Intel microprocessors. The anode must connect to D+ (Pin 3) and the cathode to D– (Pin 4). The device provides 10 µA and 100 µA current sources for remote sensing, and the diode voltage must remain within 0.25–0.95 V for valid measurement. NE1618DS,112 does not support NTC thermistors or digital sensors.
How does NE1618DS,112 select between basic and extended remote temperature resolution?
NE1618DS,112 automatically selects basic mode (1 °C resolution) when the conversion rate register is set to 05h–07h (2–8 Hz), and extended mode (0.125 °C resolution) when set to 00h–04h (≤0.7 Hz). This selection is hardwired in silicon and cannot be overridden by software. In extended mode, remote temperature data spans two registers: RET (8 MSB) and REET (3 LSB), which must be combined to reconstruct the full 11-bit value. NE1618DS,112 ignores REET in basic mode.
Can NE1618DS,112 operate from a 5 V supply?
No, NE1618DS,112 is specified only for 3.0–3.6 V operation. Although some electrical characteristics (e.g., temperature error) are listed for 5.0 V in the datasheet, these are design guarantees-not operational ratings. Absolute maximum VDD is +6 V, but functional operation outside 3.0–3.6 V violates specification and may cause undefined behavior, inaccurate readings, or accelerated aging. NE1618DS,112 must be powered from a regulated 3.3 V rail with proper 0.1 µF decoupling.
What happens to NE1618DS,112 registers during hardware standby (STBY = LOW)?
When STBY = LOW, NE1618DS,112 enters hardware standby: the A-to-D converter is disabled, conversion stops, and supply current drops to ≤10 µA. All register contents-including temperature readings, limits, configuration, and status-are retained. SMBus communication remains fully functional: registers can be read or written, and ALERT remains responsive to limit violations stored prior to standby. However, no new conversions occur until STBY returns HIGH. NE1618DS,112 does not update RIT, RET, or REET during hardware standby.
Is NE1618DS,112 pin-compatible with NE1617?
No, NE1618DS,112 is not pin-compatible with NE1617. While both are dual-channel SMBus temperature monitors from Philips/NXP, NE1617 uses a 24-pin SOIC package and different pin assignments (e.g., separate ALERT and THERM outputs, no STBY pin). NE1618DS,112 uses a 16-pin QSOP with STBY, ADD0/ADD1, and merged SMBus pins. Board-level replacement requires PCB redesign. NE1618DS,112 replaces NE1617 functionally in enhanced applications but not mechanically.
