It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, with typical accuracy of ±1.0°C from -20°C to +100°C. The device features a temperature sensor, programmable alarms, and a 2-Wire I2C/SMBus compatible interface.
Key Features:
  • Operates on a single 1.7V to 5.5V supply.
  • Selectable resolution from 9 to 12 bits, translating to 0.5°C to 0.0625°C.
  • User-configurable high and low temperature limits with an ALERT output pin for alarms.
  • Compatible with I2C High-Speed mode up to 3.4MHz.
  • Low power consumption with 85μA active current and 1μA in shutdown mode.
  • One-shot mode for single temperature measurement in shutdown mode.
  • Available in multiple package options including SOIC, MSOP, UDFN, and WLCSP.
Device Communication: The AT30TS74 uses a 2-Wire I2C/SMBus interface for communication, acting as a slave device. It supports SMBus timeout and alert features, allowing up to eight devices on the same bus.
Device Operation:
  • Temperature measurements are stored in internal registers accessible via the serial interface.
  • Features a shutdown mode to minimize power consumption, maintaining only essential circuits active.
  • Temperature alarms can be configured to trigger based on user-defined limits, with options for comparator and interrupt modes.
Registers: The device includes several registers for configuration and operation:
  • Pointer Register: Directs read/write operations to specific registers.
  • Temperature Register: Stores the result of temperature measurements.
  • Configuration Register: Allows setting of operational modes and alarm configurations.
  • TLOW and THIGH Limit Registers: Define the temperature limits for alarms.
Electrical Specifications:
  • Operates within a DC and AC range specified in the datasheet.
  • Temperature sensor accuracy and conversion characteristics are detailed for various conditions.
Packaging and Ordering: The AT30TS74 is available in several package options, all compliant with RoHS standards. Detailed ordering information and part marking details are provided in the datasheet.
Communication Protocol: The device uses Start and Stop conditions to initiate and end data transfers. It requires a unique 7-bit address for communication, with the first four bits fixed as 1001 and the remaining bits determined by the A2-0 address pins.
Temperature Measurement: The AT30TS74 uses a band-gap temperature sensor with an internal sigma-delta ADC to convert temperature readings into digital values. The resolution can be configured to 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits, corresponding to temperature increments of 0.5°C, 0.25°C, 0.125°C, and 0.0625°C, respectively.
Temperature Alarm: The device compares measured temperatures with high and low limits set in the THIGH and TLOW registers. If a fault condition is detected, the ALERT pin is activated. The ALERT pin's behavior can be configured for Comparator or Interrupt mode, and its polarity can be set to active high or low.
Fault Tolerance: To prevent false alarms, the device uses a fault tolerance queue requiring consecutive temperature faults before triggering a valid fault condition. The queue can be set to require 1, 2, 4, or 6 consecutive faults.
ALERT Pin Functionality: The ALERT pin is used to signal temperature faults. In Interrupt Mode, it remains active until a register is read, an SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA) is received, or the device enters Shutdown mode.
Shutdown Mode: This mode reduces power consumption by disabling internal circuitry except for the serial interface and POR circuits. The ALERT pin's state depends on the mode (Interrupt or Comparator) when entering Shutdown mode.
One-Shot Mode: Allows a single temperature measurement while in Shutdown mode, updating the internal fault counter and potentially triggering the ALERT pin based on the fault condition.
Configuration Register Overview: The Configuration Register is a 16-bit Read/Write register used to control the operational modes and settings of the AT30TS74 device. Only the first 8 bits are utilized, with the remaining 8 bits reserved for future enhancements.
SMBus Features:
  • SMBus Alert: Utilizes the ALERT pin to signal the Master when in Interrupt mode and active low polarity.
  • SMBus Timeout: Resets the serial interface if SCL is held low beyond the timeout specification.
  • General Call: Responds to I2C general call address if the LSB is zero.
Specifications: The AT30TS74 can re-latch its address pins upon receiving specific command bytes from the Master. It supports a General Call Reset to reset all registers to their power-up defaults.
Electrical Specifications: The datasheet outlines absolute maximum ratings, DC and AC operating ranges, and detailed current consumption under various conditions.
Temperature Sensor Accuracy: The sensor accuracy varies with temperature, with a typical accuracy of ±1.0°C to ±3.0°C depending on the temperature range.
AC Characteristics: The document provides timing parameters for serial clock frequency, clock high and low times, data setup and hold times, and bus free time between stop and start conditions.
Packaging Information: Various package options are detailed, including 8-lead SOIC, MSOP, UDFN, and WLCSP packages.

Device Communication The AT30TS74 operates as a slave device and utilizes a simple 2-Wire I2C and SMBus compatible digital serial interface to communicate with a host controller, commonly referred to as the bus Master. The Master initiates and controls all Read and Write operations to the slave devices on the serial bus, and both the Master and the slave devices can transmit and receive data on the bus. The serial interface is comprised of just two signal lines:   Serial Clock (SCL): The SCL pin is used to receive the clock signal from the Master. Serial Data (SDA): The bidirectional SDA pin...

3.4 No-Acknowledge (NACK) When the AT30TS74 is transmitting data to the Master, the Master can indicate it is done receiving data and wants to end the operation by sending a NACK response to the AT30TS74 instead of an ACK response. This is accomplished by the Master outputting a Logic 1 during the ACK/NACK clock cycle. At which point, the AT30TS74 will release the SDA line so the Master can then generate a Stop condition. In addition, the AT30TS74 can use a NACK to respond to the Master instead of an ACK for certain invalid operation cases such as an attempt to write to a Read-only Register (e.g....

4. Device Operation Commands used to configure and control the operation of the AT30TS74 are sent to the device from the Master via the serial interface. Likewise, the Master can read the temperature data from the AT30TS74 via the serial interface. However, since multiple slave devices can reside on the serial bus, each slave device must have its own unique 7-bit address so that the Master can access each device independently. For the AT30TS74, the first four MSBs of its 7-bit address are the device type identifier and are fixed at 1001. The remaining three LSBs correspond to the states of the...

AT30TS74 WLCSP Device Addresses Note: Please contact Atmel for availability of slave address options 011,100,101,110, and 111. 4.2 High-Speed Mode The AT30TS74 supports the I2C High-Speed (HS) mode allowing it to operate at clock frequencies up to 3.4MHz. In order to put the AT30TS74 into the HS mode, the Master must first initiate a Start condition followed by the HS mode master code of 00001XXX. Since the HS mode master code is meant to be recognized by all slave devices which support the HS mode, the AT30TS74 will not ACK the HS mode master code. Instead, the Master will output a NACK during...
