Theory of Operation
Functional Description
converter (ADC) with special input−signal conditioning to
enable operation with remote and on−chip diode
temperature sensors. When the ADM1023 is operating
normally, the ADC operates in a free−running mode. The
analog input multiplexer alternately selects either the
on−chip temperature sensor to measure its local temperature
or the remote temperature sensor. These signals are digitized
by the ADC, and the results are stored in the local and remote
temperature value registers. Only the eight most significant
bits (MSBs) of the local temperature value are stored as an
8−bit binary word. The remote temperature value is stored
as an 11−bit binary word in two registers. The eight MSBs
are stored in the remote temperature value high byte register
at Address 0x01. The three least significant bits (LSBs) are
stored, left justified, in the remote temperature value low
byte register at Address 0x10.
can introduce offset errors into measurements on the remote
channel. To achieve the specified accuracy on this channel,
these offsets must be removed, and two offset registers are
provided for this purpose at Address 0x11 and Address
0x12.

local temperature limits are stored as 8−bit values and the
remote temperature limits as 11−bit values. Out−of−limit
comparisons generate flags that are stored in the status

values default to −128°C. The device normally powers up
converting, making a measure of local and remote
temperature. These values are then stored before making a
comparison with the stored limits. However, if the part is
powered up in standby mode (STBY pin pulled low), no new
values are written to the register before a comparison is
made. As a result, both RLOW and LLOW are tripped in the
status register, thus generating an ALERT output. This may
