SLVSC86A January 2014 – March 2014 UCD9244-EP
PRODUCTION DATA.
The UCD9244 monitors temperature using the 12-bit ADC. The ADC12 is read every 100us and combined into a running sum. At the end of each 100ms monitoring interval, the ~1000 sample in the running sum are averaged together and the running sum is restarted. These averaged values are used to calculate the temperature from external temperature sensors. These same values may be read directly using the READ_AUX_ADCS PMBus command.
The averaged values are passed through an additional digital smoothing filter to further reduce the chance of reporting false over-temperature events. The smoothing filter has a time constant of 1.55 seconds.
