MCP98242T-BE/MNY Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip Technology MCP98242T-BE/MNY is a digital temperature sensor that integrates a 256-byte serial EEPROM, making it suitable for applications requiring both temperature monitoring and data storage. This device meets JEDEC Specification JC42.4 for Mobile Platform Memory Module Thermal Sensor Components.

 

Key features include a temperature-to-digital converter with accuracy up to ±0.5°C/±1°C (typical/maximum) within the +75°C to +95°C range. The sensor operates from a voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and consumes a typical operating current of 200 µA. The integrated EEPROM is organized as 1 block of 256 bytes, with the lower 128 bytes available for permanent or software write protection, ideal for storing memory module and vendor information.

 

The MCP98242T-BE/MNY utilizes a 2-wire I2C/SMBus compatible serial interface, allowing for communication with multiple devices on a single bus. It offers user-programmable registers for settings like shutdown or low-power modes, and temperature event boundaries. The device can output an event signal, configurable as an active-low or active-high comparator output for thermostat operation, or as a temperature event interrupt.

 

Available in an 8-TDFN (2x3) package, this sensor is designed for surface mount applications. Typical applications include DIMM modules, laptops, personal computers, servers, and other PC peripherals where precise temperature monitoring and data logging are required.
