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 over-temperature output with dedicated registers for implementing fan control or over-temperature shutdown circuits. Interrupt status and mask bits are provi
