MCP98242-BE/ST Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip MCP98242-BE/ST is a digital temperature sensor that converts temperature readings from -40°C to +125°C into a digital word. It includes a 256-byte serial EEPROM, suitable for storing memory module and vendor information, particularly for DRAM DIMMs Serial Presence Detect (SPD).

 

This sensor utilizes a 2-wire I2C/SMBus compatible interface, allowing for communication with multiple devices on a single bus. It is optimized for a voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and offers features like user-programmable registers for shutdown or low-power modes, and configurable temperature event boundaries. The device provides an accuracy of ±3°C maximum across its operating range.

 

Designed for applications such as DIMM modules, laptops, personal computers, and servers, the MCP98242-BE/ST is housed in an 8-TSSOP surface-mount package. Its EEPROM can be write-protected, with the lower 128 bytes offering permanent or reversible software protection for critical data, while the upper 128 bytes are available for general-purpose storage.
