STCN75
Operation
2.1
Applications information
STCN75 digital temperature sensors are optimal for thermal management and thermal
protection applications. They require no external components for operations except for pull-
up resistors on SCL, SDA, and OS/INT outputs. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on VDD is
recommended. The sensing device of STCN75 is the chip itself. The typical interface
connection for this type of digital sensor is shown in Figure 4 on page 11.
Intended applications include:
● System thermal management
● Computers/disk drivers
● Electronics/test equipment
● Power supply modules
● Consumer products
● Battery management
● Fax/printers management
● Automotive

Thermal alarm function
The STCN75 thermal alarm function provides user-programmable thermostat capability and
allows the STCN75 to function as a standalone thermostat without using the serial interface.
The OS/INT output is the alarm output. This signal is an open drain output, and at power-up,
this pin is configured with active-low polarity by default.
