Effect of Ideality Factor

The accuracy of the remote temperature measurements

depends on the ideality factor (n) of the remote diode

(actually a transistor). The MAX6640 is optimized for n

= 1.008, which is the typical value for the Intel®

Pentium® III and the AMD Athlon MP model 6. If a

sense transistor with a different ideality factor is used,

the output data is different. Fortunately, the difference

is predictable.

Assume a remote-diode sensor designed for a nominal

ideality factor nNOMINAL is used to measure the tem-

perature of a diode with a different ideality factor, n1.

The measured temperature TM can be corrected using:



TM = TACTUAL 

n1





 nNOMINAL 

where temperature is measured in Kelvin.

As mentioned above, the nominal ideality factor of the

MAX6640 is 1.008. As an example, assume the

MAX6640 is configured with a CPU that has an ideality

factor of 1.002. If the diode has no series resistance,

the measured data is related to the real temperature

as follows:

TACTUAL

TM



nNOMINAL

=

TM





1.008 



=

TM

(1.00599)

 n1 

 1.002

For a real temperature of +85°C (358.15K), the mea-

sured temperature is +82.91°C (356.02K), which is an

error of -2.13°C.

Effect of Series Resistance

Series resistance in a sense diode contributes addition-

al errors. For nominal diode currents of 10µA and

100µA, change in the measured voltage is:

∆VM = RS (100µA - 10µA) = 90µA x RS

Since 1°C corresponds to 198.6µV, series resistance

contributes a temperature offset of:

90 µV

Ω

198.6 µV

°C

= 0.453 °C

Ω

Assume that the diode being measured has a series

resistance of 3Ω. The series resistance contributes an

offset of:

3Ω × 0.453 °C = 1.36°C

Ω

The effects of the ideality factor and series resistance

are additive. If the diode has an ideality factor of 1.002

and series resistance of 3Ω, the total offset can be cal-

culated by adding error due to series resistance with

error due to ideality factor:

1.36°C - 2.13°C = -0.77°C

for a diode temperature of +85°C.

In this example, the effect of the series resistance and

the ideality factor partially cancel each other.

For best accuracy, the discrete transistor should be a

small-signal device with its collector connected to GND

and base connected to DXN. Table 11 lists examples of

discrete transistors that are appropriate for use with the

MAX6640.
