is capacitively loaded, which can cause the voltage reference
to oscillate. This affects temperature readings reported back
by the ADM1026. The recommended interface circuit for

Temperature Measurement System
Local Temperature Measurement
sensor whose output is digitized by the on−chip ADC. The
temperature data is stored in the local temperature value
register (Address 1Fh). As both positive and negative
temperatures can be measured, the temperature data is stored
in twos complement format, as shown in Table 4.
Theoretically, the temperature sensor and ADC can measure
temperatures from −128°C to +127°C with a resolution of
1°C. Temperatures below T
the operating temperature range of the device; however, so
local temperature measurements outside this range are not
possible. Temperature measurement from −128°C to
+127°C is possible using a remote sensor.
Remote Temperature Measurement
remote diode sensors, or diode−connected transistors,
connected to Pins 25 and 26, or 27 and 28.
Pins 27 and 28 can be configured to measure a diode sensor
