The STTS2004 is targeted for DDR4 DIMM modules in servers, desktops, and mobile personal computing platforms (laptops and other industrial applications). The thermal sensor (TS) in the STTS2004 is compliant with the JEDEC specification TSE2004a2, which defines memory module thermal sensor requirements for use in DRAM DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules) with Serial Presence Detect (SPD), in which all the information concerning the DRAM module configuration (such as access speed, size, and organization) can be kept write-protected in one or more of the blocks of memory. The 4-Kbit serial EEPROM (SPD) in the STTS2004 is organized as two pages of 256 bytes each, or 512 bytes of total memory. Each page is comprised of two 128-byte blocks. The SPD is able to selectively lock the data in any or all of the four 128-byte blocks. The STTS2004 can interface to buses which have multiple devices on a shared bus, and each device has its own unique address on this bus. The device can achieve substantial power savings by using the software-programmed shutdown mode.

The TS-SPD EEPROM combination provides space as well as cost savings for mobile and server platform dual inline memory modules (DIMM) manufacturers, as it is packaged in the compact 2 mm x 3 mm 8-lead TDFN package with a thinner maximum height of 0.80 mm. The DN package is compliant to JEDEC MO-229, variation W2030D.

The digital temperature sensor has a programmable 9-12 bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which monitors and digitizes the temperature to a resolution of up to 0.0625 °C. The default resolution is 0.25 °C/LSB (10-bit). The typical accuracies over these temperature ranges are: ±2 °C over the full temperature measurement range of –20 °C to 125 °C, ±1 °C in the +40 °C to +125 °C active temperature range, and ±0.5 °C in the +75 °C to +95 °C monitor temperature range.Read more
