C-Compatible Digital Interface
From a software prospective, the MAX6683 appears as
a set of byte-wide registers that contain voltage and tem-
perature data, alarm threshold values, or control bits.
The device employs five standard SMBus protocols:
write byte, read byte, read word, send byte, and
receive byte (Figures 2, 3, 4).
Slave Address
The device address can be set to one of four different
values by pin strapping ADD to GND, SDA, SCL, or
V
CC
, so more than one MAX6683 can reside on the
same bus without address conflicts (Table 1). The
address pin state is checked at the beginning of each
SMBus/I
2
C transaction and is insensitive to glitches on
V
CC
. Any address code can also be written to the
Serial Address Register and overwrites the code set by
connecting the ADD pin until the MAX6683 is taken
through a POR cycle.
The MAX6683 also responds to the SMBus alert
response address (see
Alert Response Address).
