General Description
The MIC284 is a versatile digital thermal supervisor capable of measuring temperature using its own internal sensor and an inexpensive external sensor or embedded silicon diode such as those found in the Intel Pentium III™ CPU. A 2-wire serial interface is provided to allow communication with either I2C™ or SMBus™ masters. Features include an open-drain overtemperature output with dedicated registers for implementing fan control or over-temperature shutdown circuits.
