PC hardware monitor IC — what it does and where it fits
The Analog Devices ADM1025ARQ-REEL7 is a PC hardware monitor IC designed to track system voltages and temperatures in desktop and portable computers. It communicates over an I²C interface, making it straightforward to integrate with the system management bus on a motherboard or PDA baseboard. The 3V to 5.5V supply range covers both legacy 5V rails and modern 3.3V logic supplies, so it fits without a separate regulator for the monitor function itself.
Package and mounting — footprint for a 16-SSOP layout
Housed in a 16-SSOP package (0.154" body width, 3.90mm pitch), this is a surface-mount part that reflows on a standard lead-frame footprint. The supplier device package is listed as 16-QSOP, which is dimensionally interchangeable for layout purposes — same 3.90mm width, same 1.27mm pitch. The Bulk shipping medium means the parts arrive in tubes or bags, not tape-and-reel, so plan your pick-and-place feeder setup accordingly.
Sourcing and supply — quoted to order through independent distribution
As an active, RoHS-non-compliant IC, the ADM1025ARQ-REEL7 is sourced through independent distribution channels.
