FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The LM96163 has remote and local temperature
sensors with integrated fan control that includes
TruTherm BJT transistor beta compensation
technology for remote diode sensing. The LM96163
accurately measures: (1) its own temperature and (2)
the temperature of a diode-connected transistor, such
as a 2N3904, or a thermal diode commonly found on
Computer Processors, Graphics Processor Units
(GPU) and other ASIC's. The LM96163 has an offset
register to correct for errors caused by different nonideality factors of other thermal diodes.

The LM96163 also features an integrated, pulsewidth-modulated (PWM), open-drain fan control
output. Fan speed depends on a combination of the
remote temperature reading, the lookup table and
register settings. The 12-step Lookup Table (LUT)
enables the user to program a non-linear fan speed
vs. temperature transfer function often used to quiet
acoustic fan noise. In addition a fully programmable
ramping function has been added to allow smooth
transitions between LUT setpoints.

SNAS433D – JUNE 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LM96163 Remote Diode Temperature Sensor with Integrated Fan Control incorporates a ΔVBE-based
temperature sensor utilizing a Local or Remote diode and a 10-bit plus sign ΔΣ ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-toDigital Converter). The LM96163 includes TruTherm BJT beta compensation technology that allows precision
temperature sensing of remote diodes found in sub-micron processes. The pulse-width modulated (PWM) opendrain output, with a pull-up resistor, is driven by a 12-point temperature to duty cycle look-up table (LUT) and can
directly drive a PWM input of a 4-pin fan in order to modulate it's speed enabling optimum system acoustic
performance. The LM96163 LUT fan control algorithm also includes a smoothing function that allows the PWM
duty cycle to gradually change over a programmed time interval when switching from one level to the next in the
LUT. When running at a frequency of 22.5kHz the PWM output resolution is 0.39%. The LM96163 includes a
TACH input that can measure the speed of a fan using the pulses from a 3 or 4 pin fan’s tachometer output. The
LM96163 includes a smart-tach measurement mode to accommodate the corrupted tachometer pulses when
using switching transistor power drive to modulate the fan speed. The LM96163 has an ALERT open-drain
output that will be pulled low when the measured temperature exceeds certain programmed limits when enabled.
Details are contained in the sections below.
The LM96163's two-wire interface is compatible with the SMBus Specification 2.0 . For more information the
reader is directed to www.smbus.org.
In the LM96163 digital comparators are used to compare the measured Local Temperature (LT) to the Local
High Setpoint user-programmable temperature limit register. The measured Remote Temperature (RT) is digitally
compared to the Remote High Setpoint (RHS), the Remote Low Setpoint (RLS), and the Remote T_CRIT
Setpoint (RCS) user-programmable temperature limits. An ALERT output will occur when the measured
temperature is: (1) higher than either the High Setpoint or the T_CRIT Setpoint, or (2) lower than the Low
Setpoint. The ALERT Mask register allows the user to prevent the generation of these ALERT outputs. A TCRIT
output will occur when the measured temperature is higher than the T_CRIT Setpoint.
The TCRIT function and the look-up table temperature hysteresis can be set separately. The hysteresis value
associated with the TCRIT output is set in the Remote T_CRIT Hysteresis Register. The value associated with
the look-up table function is set in the Lookup Table Hysteresis Register.
The LM96163 may be placed in a low power Standby mode by setting the Standby bit found in the Configuration
Register. In the Standby mode continuous conversions are stopped. In Standby mode the user may choose to
allow the PWM output signal to continue, or not, by programming the PWM Disable in Standby bit in the
Configuration Register.
The Local Temperature reading and setpoint data registers are 8-bits wide. The format of the 11-bit remote
temperature data is a 16-bit left justified word. Two 8-bit registers, high and low bytes, are provided for each
setpoint as well as the temperature reading. A digital filter may be invoked for remote temperature readings that
increases the resolution from 11-bits to 13-bits. The temperature readings are also available in an unsigned
format allowing resolution above 127°C. Two Remote Temperature Offset (RTO) Registers: High Byte and Low
Byte (RTOHB and RTOLB) may be used to correct the temperature readings by adding or subtracting a fixed
value based on a different non-ideality factor and series resistance of the thermal diode if different from the
thermal diode found in the Intel processors on 45 nm process. See section DIODE NON-IDEALITY.

In this section we will address the ALERT and TCRIT active-low open-drain output functions. When the ALERT
Mask bit in the Configuration register is written as zero the ALERT interrupts are enabled.
The LM96163's ALERT pin is versatile and can produce three different methods of use to best serve the system
designer: (1) as a temperature comparator (2) as a temperature-based interrupt flag, and (3) as part of an
SMBus ALERT System. The three methods of use are further described below. The ALERT and interrupt
methods are different only in how the user interacts with the LM96163.
The remote temperature (RT) reading is associated with a T_CRIT Setpoint Register, and both local and remote
temperature (LT and RT) readings are associated with a HIGH setpoint register (LHS and RHS). The RT is also
associated with a LOW setpoint register (RLS). At the end of every temperature reading a digital comparison
determines whether that reading is above its HIGH or T_CRIT setpoint or below its LOW setpoint. If so, the
corresponding bit in the ALERT Status Register is set. If the ALERT mask bit is low, any bit set in the ALERT
Status Register, with the exception of Busy or RDFA, will cause the ALERT output to be pulled low. Any
temperature conversion that is out of the limits defined in the temperature setpoint registers will trigger an
ALERT. Additionally, the ALERT Mask Bit must be cleared to trigger an ALERT in all modes.

SNAS433D – JUNE 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013
The format of the Remote High limit and T_CRIT limit comparison is programmable. The USF bit found in the
Enhanced Configuration register controls whether comparisons use a signed or unsigned format. The
temperature format used for Remote High and T_CRIT limit comparisons is +255.875 °C to -256 °C.
The three different ALERT modes and TCRIT function will be discussed in the following sections.
ALERT Output as a Temperature Comparator
When the LM96163 is used in a system in which does not require temperature-based interrupts, the ALERT
output could be used as a temperature comparator. In this mode, once the condition that triggered the ALERT to
go low is no longer present, the ALERT is negated (Figure 8). For example, if the ALERT output was activated
by the comparison of LT > LHS, when this condition is no longer true, the ALERT will return HIGH. This mode
allows operation without software intervention, once all registers are configured during set-up. In order for the
ALERT to be used as a temperature comparator, the Comparator Mode bit in the Remote Diode Temperature
Filter and Comparator Mode Register must be asserted. This is not the power-on default state.

Figure 8. ALERT Output as Temperature Comparator Response Diagram
ALERT Output as an Interrupt
The LM96163's ALERT output can be implemented as a simple interrupt signal when it is used to trigger an
interrupt service routine. In such systems it is desirable for the interrupt flag to repeatedly trigger during or before
the interrupt service routine has been completed. Under this method of operation, during the read of the ALERT
Status Register the LM96163 will set the ALERT Mask bit in the Configuration Register if any bit in the ALERT
Status Register is set, with the exception of Busy and RDFA. This prevents further ALERT triggering until the
master has reset the ALERT Mask bit, at the end of the interrupt service routine. The ALERT Status Register bits
are cleared only upon a read command from the master (see Figure 9 ) and will be re-asserted at the end of the
next conversion if the triggering condition(s) persist(s). In order for the ALERT to be used as a dedicated
interrupt signal, the Comparator Mode bit in the Remote Diode Temperature Filter and Comparator Mode
Register must be set low. This is the power-on default state. The following sequence describes the response of a
system that uses the ALERT output pin as an interrupt flag:
1. Master senses ALERT low.
2. Master reads the LM96163 ALERT Status Register to determine what caused the ALERT.
3. LM96163 clears ALERT Status Register, resets the ALERT HIGH and sets the ALERT Mask bit in the
Configuration Register.
4. Master attends to conditions that caused the ALERT to be triggered. The fan is started, setpoint limits are
adjusted, etc.
5. Master resets the ALERT Mask bit in the Configuration Register.

Figure 9. ALERT Output as an Interrupt Temperature Response Diagram
ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT
An SMBus alert line is created when the ALERT output is connected to: (1) one or more ALERT outputs of other
SMBus compatible devices, and (2) to a master. Under this implementation, the LM96163's ALERT should be
operated using the ARA (Alert Response Address) protocol. The SMBus 2.0 ARA protocol, defined in the SMBus
specification 2.0, is a procedure designed to assist the master in determining which part generated an interrupt
and to service that interrupt.
The SMBus alert line is connected to the open-drain ports of all devices on the bus, thereby AND'ing them
together. The ARA method allows the SMBus master, with one command, to identify which part is pulling the
SMBus alert line LOW. It also prevents the part from pulling the line LOW again for the same triggering condition.
When an ARA command is received by all devices on the bus, the devices pulling the SMBus alert line LOW: (1)
send their address to the master and (2) release the SMBus alert line after acknowledgement of their address.
The SMBus Specifications 1.1 and 2.0 state that in response to and ARA (Alert Response Address) “after
acknowledging the slave address the device must disengage its ALERT pulldown”. Furthermore, “if the host still
sees ALERT low when the message transfer is complete, it knows to read the ARA again.” This SMBus
“disengaging ALERT requirement prevents locking up the SMBus alert line. Competitive parts may address the
“disengaging of ALERT” differently than the LM96163 or not at all. SMBus systems that implement the ARA
protocol as suggested for the LM96163 will be fully compatible with all competitive parts.
The LM96163 fulfills “disengaging of ALERT” by setting the ALERT Mask Bit in the Configuration Register after
sending out its address in response to an ARA and releasing the ALERT output pin. Once the ALERT Mask bit is
activated, the ALERT output pin will be disabled until enabled by software. In order to enable the ALERT the
master must read the ALERT Status Register, during the interrupt service routine and then reset the ALERT
Mask bit in the Configuration Register to 0 at the end of the interrupt service routine.
The following sequence describes the ARA response protocol.
1. Master senses SMBus alert line low
2. Master sends a START followed by the Alert Response Address (ARA) with a Read Command.
3. Alerting Device(s) send ACK.
4. Alerting Device(s) send their address. While transmitting their address, alerting devices sense whether their
address has been transmitted correctly. (The LM96163 will reset its ALERT output and set the ALERT Mask
bit once its complete address has been transmitted successfully.)
5. Master/slave NoACK
6. Master sends STOP
7. Master attends to conditions that caused the ALERT to be triggered. The ALERT Status Register is read and
fan started, setpoints adjusted, etc.
8. Master resets the ALERT Mask bit in the Configuration Register.
The ARA, 000 1100, is a general call address. No device should ever be assigned to this address.
The ALERT Configuration bit in the Remote Diode Temperature Filter and Comparator Mode Register must be
set low in order for the LM96163 to respond to the ARA command.

TCRIT Function
The TCRIT output will be activated whenever the RCRIT bit in the ALERT Status register is set. This occurs
whenever the remote temperature exceeds the value set by the Remote T_CRIT Setpoint register. There is a
hysteresis associated with the T_CRIT Setpoint that is set by the value in the Remote T_CRIT Hysteresis
register. The RCRIT bit will be reset when the remote temperature equals or is less than the value defined by
Remote T_CRIT Setpoint minus T_CRIT Hysteresis. The resolution of the comparison is 1 °C. For example if
T_CRIT = 110 °C and THYST = 5 °C the TCRIT output will activate when the temperature reading is 111 °C and
deactivate when the temperature reading is 105 °C.
When the LM96163 powers up the T_CRIT limit is locked to the default value. It may be changed after the
T_CRIT Limit Override bit (TCRITOV) bit, found in the Configuration Register, is set.
The format of the Remote T_CRIT setpoint register is controlled by the USF bit found in the Enhanced
configuration register. The temperature reading format used for the T_CRIT comparisons is +255 °C to -256°C.
SMBus INTERFACE
Since the LM96163 operates as a slave on the SMBus the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is
bidirectional. The LM96163 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to
SMBus specifications, the LM96163 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits, A6 through A0, are internally programmed
and cannot be changed by software or hardware.

OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS
The SMBDAT, ALERT, TCRIT and PWM outputs are open-drain outputs and do not have internal pull-ups. A
“High” level will not be observed on these pins until pull-up current is provided by an internal source, typically
through a pull-up resistor. Choice of resistor value depends on several factors but, in general, the value should
be as high as possible consistent with reliable operation. This will lower the power dissipation of the LM96163
and avoid temperature errors caused by self-heating of the device. The maximum value of the pull-up resistor to
provide the 2.1 V high level is 88.7 kΩ.
DIODE FAULT DETECTION
The LM96163 is equipped with operational circuitry designed to detect remote diode fault conditions:
• D+ shorted to VDD
• D+ open or floating
• D+ shorted to GND.

In the event that the D+ pin is grounded the Remote Temperature reading is forced to –128.000 °C if signed
format is read and 0 °C if unsigned format is read. When the D+ pin is detected as shorted to VDD or floating, the
Remote Temperature reading is forced to +127.000 °C if signed format is read and +255.000 °C is unsigned
format is read. In addition, the ALERT Status register bit RDFA is set. Setting of the RDFA bit will not cause
ALERT or TCRIT to activate. Under fault conditions remote diode setpoint comparisons will use these forced
temperature values therefore other bits in the ALERT Status Register may be set thus activating the ALERT or
TCRIT outputs unless these bits are masked. The function of the ALERT and TCRIT is fully described in Section
ALERT and TCRIT OUTPUTS.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE LM96163
Each data register in the LM96163 falls into one of four types of user accessibility:
1. Read Only
2. Write Only
3. Read/Write same address
4. Read/Write different address
A Write to the LM96163 is comprised of an address byte and a command byte. A write to any register requires
one data byte.
Reading the LM96163 Registers can take place after the requisite register setup sequence takes place. See
Required Initial Fan Control Register Sequence.
The data byte has the Most Significant Bit (MSB) first. At the end of a read, the LM96163 can accept either
Acknowledge or No-Acknowledge from the Master. Note that the No-Acknowledge is typically used as a signal
for the slave indicating that the Master has read its last byte.
DIGITAL FILTER
In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings due to noise as well as increase the resolution of
the temperature, the LM96163 incorporates a digital filter for remote temperature readings. The filter is accessed
in the Remote Diode Temperature Filter and Comparator Mode Register. The filter can be set according to the
following table.

The LM96163 incorporates a Fault Queue to suppress erroneous ALERT triggering . The Fault Queue prevents
false triggering by requiring three consecutive out-of-limit HIGH or LOW temperature readings. See Figure 13.

the Configuration Register to a 1.

ONE-SHOT REGISTER
The One-Shot Register is used to initiate a single conversion and comparison cycle when the device is in
standby mode, after which the data returns to standby. This is not a data register. A write operation causes the
one-shot conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and is not stored. A zero will always be read
from this register.
SERIAL INTERFACE RESET
In the event that the SMBus Master is reset while the LM96163 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the
LM96163 must be returned to a known state in the communication protocol. This may be done in one of two
ways:
1. When SMBDAT is Low, the LM96163 SMBus state machine resets to the SMBus idle state if either SMBDAT
or SMBCLK are held Low for more than 35 ms (tTIMEOUT). Devices are to timeout when either the SMBCLK or
SMBDAT lines are held Low for 25 ms – 35 ms. Therefore, to insure a timeout of devices on the bus, either
the SMBCLK or the SMBDAT line must be held Low for at least 35 ms.

2. With both SMBDAT and SMBCLK High, the master can initiate an SMBus start condition with a High to Low
transition on the SMBDAT line. The LM96163 will respond properly to an SMBus start condition at any point
during the communication. After the start the LM96163 will expect an SMBus Address address byte.

LM96163 REQUIRED INITIAL FAN CONTROL REGISTER SEQUENCE
Important! The BIOS or firmware must follow the sequence below to configure the following Fan Registers for
the LM96163 before using any of the Fan or Tachometer or PWM registers:
[Register]HEX and Setup Instructions (1)
Step
(1)
1
After power up check to make sure that the Not Ready bit is cleared in the POR Status register [33] bit 7.
2
Enable or disable Remote Diode TruTherm mode, [30] bit 1.
3
[4A] Write bits 0 and 1; 3 and 4. This includes tach settings if used, PWM internal clock select (1.4 kHz or 360 kHz) and PWM
Output Polarity.
4
[4B] Write bits 0 through 5 to program the spin-up settings.
5
[4D] Write bits 0 through 4 to set the frequency settings. This works with the PWM internal clock select. If 22.5 kHz is selected
then enhanced fan control functions such as Lookup Table transition smoothing with extended PWM duty cycle resolution is
available and should be setup [45].
6
Choose, then write, only one of the following:
A. [4F–67] the Lookup Table and [4E] the Lookup Table Offset, [45] Lookup Table Temperature Resolution can also be
modified
or
B. [4C] the PWM value bits 0 through 5 or bits 0 through 7 if extended duty cycle resolution is selected.
7
If Step 4A, Lookup Table, was chosen and written then write [4A] bit 5 PWPGM = 0. PWPGM should be set to 1 to enable
writing to the fan control registers listed in this table.
All other registers can be written at any time after the above sequence.

These bits are unused and always read as 0.
PWM Programming enable
0: the PWM Value (register 0x4C), the PWM Smoothing (0x45[2:0]) and the
Lookup Table (Registers 0x50–0x67) are read-only. The PWM value (0 to 100%) is
determined by the current remote diode temperature and the Lookup Table, and
can be read from the PWM value register.
1: the PWM value (register 0x4C), the PWM Smoothing (0x45[2:0]) and the Lookup
Table (Registers 0x50–0x67) are read/write enabled. Writing the PWM Value
register will set the PWM output. This is also the state during which the Lookup
Table can be written.
PWM Output Polarity
0: the PWM output pin will be 0V for fan OFF and open for fan ON.
1: the PWM output pin will be open for fan OFF and 0V for fan ON.
PWM Master Clock Select
0: the master PWM clock is 360 kHz
1: the master PWM clock is 1.4 kHz.
Always write 0 to this bit.
Tachometer Mode
00: Traditional tach input monitor, false readings when under minimum detectable
RPM. (Smart-TACH mode disabled)
01: Traditional tach input monitor, FFFFh reading when under minimum detectable
RPM. Smart-TACH mode enabled, PWM duty cycle not affected. Use with direct
PWM drive of fan power. TACH readings can cause an error event if TACH
setpoint register is set to less than FFFFh even though fan may be spinning
properly.
10: Most accurate readings, FFFFh reading when under minimum detectable RPM.
Smart-TACH mode enabled, PWM duty cycle modified. Use with direct PWM drive
of fan power. This mode extends the TACH monitoring low RPM sensitivity.
11: Least effort on programmed PWM of fan, FFFF reading when under minimum
detectable RPM. Smart-TACH mode enabled. Use with direct PWM drive of fan
power. This mode extends the TACH monitoring low RPM sensitivity the most.
Note: If the PWM Master Clock is 360 kHz, mode 00 is used regardless of the
setting of these two bits.

Fast Tachometer Spin-up
If 0, the fan spin-up uses the duty cycle and spin-up time, bits 0–4.
If 1, the LM96163 sets the PWM output to 100% until the spin-up times out (per
bits 0–2) or the minimum desired RPM has been reached (per the Tachometer
Setpoint setting) using the tachometer input, whichever happens first. This bit
overrides the PWM Spin-Up Duty Cycle register (bits 4:3)—PWM output is always
100%. Register x03, bit 2 = 1 for Tachometer mode.
If PWM Spin-Up Time (bits 2:0) = 000, the Spin-Up cycle is bypassed, regardless
of the state of this bit.

Bit 7 is unused and always set to 0 in the low resolution temperature LUT mode. In
the high resolution temperature LUT mode bit 7 in conjunction with bits 6:0 of this
register are used to determine the limit temperature that the remote diode
temperature is compared to. In high resolution the range is 0°C to 127.5°C. In low
resolution mode the range is 0°C to 127°C. If the remote diode temperature
exceeds this value, the PWM output will be the value in Register 0x51. Only 9-bits
of the temperature reading are used in high resolution and 8-bits in low resolution.
Only positive temperature values can be programed in this register and in all cases
the sign bit is assumed to be zero. Temperatures greater than 127 °C or 127.5 °C
can be programmed through the use of the Lookup Table Temperature Offset
Register (4Eh).

reading to compensate for the different non-ideality factors of different
processors, diodes, etc. The 2’s complement value, in these registers is added to
the output of the LM96163’s ADC to form the temperature reading contained in
registers 01 and 10. These registers have the same format as the MSB and LSB

Computing Duty Cycles for a Given Frequency
Select a PWM Frequency from the first column corresponding to the desired actual frequency in columns 6 or 7.
Note the PWM Value for 100% Duty Cycle.
Find the Duty Cycle by taking the PWM Value of Register 4C and computing:
DutyCycle _(%) =
PWM _Value
PWM _Value _ for _ 100 %
u 100 %
(1)
Example: For a PWM Frequency of 24, a PWM Value at 100% = 48 and PWM Value actual = 28, then the Duty
Cycle is (28/48) × 100% = 58.3%.
LUT FAN CONTROL
The LM96163 fan control uses a temperature to duty cycle look-up table (LUT) that has 12 indexes. High
resolution duty cycle (0.392%) is available when the PWM frequency is set to 22.5 kHz. In addition ramp rate
control is available to acoustically smooth the duty cycle transition between LUT steps.
Shown in Figure 14 (a) is an example of the 12-point LUT temperature to PWM transfer function that can be
realized without smoothing enabled. The table is comprised of twelve Duty-Cycle and Temperature set-point
pairs. Notice that the transitions between one index of the LUT to the next happen instantaneously. If the PWM
levels are set far enough apart this can be acoustically very disturbing. The typical acoustical threshold of change
in duty cycle is 2%. Figure 14 (b) has an overlaid curve (solid line) showing what occurs at the transitions when
smoothing is enabled. The dashed lines shown in Figure 14 (b) are there to point out that multiple slopes can be
realized easily. At the transitions the duty cycle increments in LSb (0.39% for the case shown) steps. In the
example shown in Figure 14 (b) the first pair is set for a duty-cycle of 31.25% and a temperature of 0°C. For
temperatures less than 0°C the duty cycle is set to 0. When the temperature is greater than 0 °C but is less than
91 °C the duty cycle will remain at 31.25%. The next pair is set at 37.5% and 91°C. Once the temperature
exceeds 91°C the duty cycle on the PWM output will gradually transition from 31.25% to 37.5% in 0.39% steps at
the programmed time interval. The LUT comparison temperature resolution is programmable to either 1 °C or 0.5
°C. For the curves of Figure 14 the comparison resolution is set to 0.5 °C that is why the actual duty cycle
transitions happen 0.5 °C higher than the actual LUT entry. The duty cycle transition time interval is
programmable and is shown in the table titled Table 8. Care should be taken so that the LUT PWM and
Temperature values are setup in ascending weight.

Figure 14. Fan Control Transfer Function Example
Also included is programmable hysteresis that is not described by the curves of Figure 14. The hysteresis takes
effect as temperature is decreasing and moves all the temperature set-points down by the programmed amount.
For the example shown here if the hysteresis is set to 1°C and if the temperature is decreasing from 96.5°C the
duty cycle will remain at 68.75% and will not transition to 62.5% until the temperature drops below 95.5°C.
If at any time the TCRIT output were to activate the PWM duty cycle will be instantaneously forced to 100% thus
forcing the fans to full on.

The Table 8 table describes the programmable time interval preventing abrupt changes in the PWM output duty
cycle and thus preventing abrupt acoustical noise changes as well. The threshold of acoustically detecting fan
noise transition is at about a 2% duty cycle change. The table describes the time intervals that can be
programmed and the total amount of time it will take for the PWM output to change from 0% to 100% for each
time interval. For example if the time interval for each step is set to 0.091 seconds the time it will take to make a
0 to 100% duty cycle change will be 21.6 seconds when the duty cycle resolution is set to 0.39% or 1.46
seconds when the resolution is 6.25%. One setting will apply to all LUT transitions.
COMPUTING RPM OF THE FAN FROM THE TACH COUNT
The Tach Count Registers 46HEX and 47HEX count the number of periods of the 90 kHz tachometer clock in the
LM96163 for the tachometer input from the fan assuming a 2 pulse per revolution fan tachometer, such as the
fans supplied with the Intel boxed processors. The RPM of the fan can be computed from the Tach Count
Registers 46HEX and 47HEX. This can best be shown through an example.
Example:
Given: the fan used has a tachometer output with 2 per revolution.
Let:
Register 46 (LSB) is BFHEX = Decimal (11 x 16) + 15 = 191 and

Register 47 (MSB) is 7HEX = Decimal (7 x 256) = 1792.
The total Tach Count, in decimal, is 191 + 1792 = 1983.
The RPM is computed using the formula

where
f = 1 for 2 pulses/rev fan tachometer output;

DIODE NON-IDEALITY
The LM96163 can be applied easily in the same way as other integrated-circuit temperature sensors, and its
remote diode sensing capability allows it to be used in new ways as well. It can be soldered to a printed circuit
board, and because the path of best thermal conductivity is between the die and the pins, its temperature will
effectively be that of the printed circuit board lands and traces soldered to the LM96163's pins. This presumes
that the ambient air temperature is almost the same as the surface temperature of the printed circuit board; if the
air temperature is much higher or lower than the surface temperature, the actual temperature of the LM96163 die
will be at an intermediate temperature between the surface and air temperatures. Again, the primary thermal
conduction path is through the leads, so the circuit board temperature will contribute to the die temperature much
more strongly than will the air temperature.
The LM96163 incorporates remote diode temperature sensing technology allowing the measurement of remote
temperatures. This diode can be located on the die of a target IC, allowing measurement of the IC's temperature,
independent of the LM96163's die temperature. A discrete diode can also be used to sense the temperature of
external objects or ambient air. Remember that a discrete diode's temperature will be affected, and often
dominated, by the temperature of its leads. Most silicon diodes do not lend themselves well to this application. It
is recommended that an MMBT3904 transistor base emitter junction be used with the collector tied to the base.
The LM96163’s TruTherm BJT beta compensation technology allows accurate sensing of integrated thermal
diodes, such as those found on most processors. With TruTherm technology turned off, the LM96163 can
measure a diode-connected transistor such as the MMBT3904 or the thermal diode found in an AMD processor.
The LM96163 has been optimized to measure the remote thermal diode integrated in a typical Intel processor on
45nm, 65 nm or 90 nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. Using the Remote Diode TruTherm Enable register
the remote input can be optimized for a typical Intel processor on 45nm, 65 nm or 90 nm process or an
MMBT3904.

q = 1.6×10−19 Coulombs (the electron charge),
T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin
k = 1.38×10−23 joules/K (Boltzmann's constant),
η is the non-ideality factor of the process the diode is manufactured on,
IS = Saturation Current and is process dependent,
If = Forward Current through the base-emitter junction
VBE = Base-Emitter Voltage drop
In the active region, the -1 term is negligible and may be eliminated, yielding the following equation
ª § VBE ·º

In Equation 6, η and IS are dependant upon the process that was used in the fabrication of the particular diode.
By forcing two currents with a very controlled ratio(IF2 / IF1) and measuring the resulting voltage difference, it is
possible to eliminate the IS term. Solving for the forward voltage difference yields the relationship:

Equation 8 holds true when a diode connected transistor such as the MMBT3904 is used. When this “diode”
equation is applied to an integrated diode such as a processor transistor with its collector tied to GND as shown
in Figure 15 it will yield a wide non-ideality spread. This wide non-ideality spread is not due to true process
variation but due to the fact that Equation 8 is an approximation.
TruTherm BJT beta compensation technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 9, which is a more accurate
representation of the topology of the thermal diode found in an FPGA or processor.

TruTherm should only be enabled when measuring the temperature of a transistor integrated as shown in the

Calculating Total System Accuracy
The voltage seen by the LM96163 also includes the IFRS voltage drop of the series resistance. The non-ideality
factor, η, is the only other parameter not accounted for and depends on the diode that is used for measurement.
Since ΔVBE is proportional to both η and T, the variations in η cannot be distinguished from variations in
temperature. Since the non-ideality factor is not controlled by the temperature sensor, it will directly add to the
inaccuracy of the sensor. For the for Intel processor on 65nm process, Intel specifies a +4.06%/−0.897%
variation in η from part to part when the processor diode is measured by a circuit that assumes diode equation,
Equation 8, as true. As an example, assume a temperature sensor has an accuracy specification of ±1.0°C at a
temperature of 80°C (353 Kelvin) and the processor diode has a non-ideality variation of +4.06%/−0.89%. The
resulting system accuracy of the processor temperature being sensed will be:
TACC = + 1.0°C + (+4.06% of 353 K) = +15.3 °C
(10)
TACC = - 1.0°C + (−0.89% of 353 K) = −4.1 °C
(11)
and
TruTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 8, resulting in a non-ideality spread that truly reflects
the process variation which is very small. The transistor equation non-ideality spread is ±0.39% for the 65nm
thermal diode. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm technology improves to:
TACC = ±0.75°C + (±0.39% of 353 K) = ± 2.16 °C
(12)
Intel does not specify the diode model ideality and series resistance of the thermal diodes on 45nm so a similar
comparison cannot be calculated, but lab experiments have shown similar improvement. For the 45nm processor
the ideality spread as specified by Intel is -0.399% to +0.699%. The resulting spread in accuracy when using
TruTherm technology with the thermal diode on Intel processors with 45nm process is:
TACC = -0.75°C + (-0.39% of 353 K) = -2.16 °C
(13)
TACC = +0.75°C + (+0.799% of 353 K) = +4.32 °C
(14)
to
The next error term to be discussed is that due to the series resistance of the thermal diode and printed circuit
board traces. The thermal diode series resistance is specified on most processor data sheets. For Intel
processors in 45 nm process, this is specified at 4.5Ω typical with a minimum of 3Ω and a maximum of 7Ω. The
LM96163 accommodates the typical series resistance of Intel Processor on 45 nm process. The error that is not
accounted for is the spread of the processor's series resistance. The equation used to calculate the temperature
error due to series resistance (TER) for the LM96163 is simply:
ºC ·
§
TER = ¨0.62 : ¸ x RPCB
©
¹
(15)
Solving Equation 15 for RPCB equal to -1.5Ω to 2.5Ω results in the additional error due to the spread in this series
resistance of -0.93°C to +1.55°C. The spread in error cannot be canceled out, as it would require measuring
each individual thermal diode device. This is quite difficult and impractical in a large volume production
environment.
Equation 15 can also be used to calculate the additional error caused by series resistance on the printed circuit
board. Since the variation of the PCB series resistance is minimal, the bulk of the error term is always positive
and can simply be cancelled out by subtracting it from the output readings of the LM96163 using the Remote
Temperature Offset register.

PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE
Figure 16. Ideal Diode Trace Layout
In a noisy environment, such as a processor mother board, layout considerations are very critical. Noise induced
on traces running between the remote temperature diode sensor and the LM96163 can cause temperature
conversion errors. Keep in mind that the signal level the LM96163 is trying to measure is in microvolts. The
following guidelines should be followed:
1. Use a low-noise +3.3VDC power supply, and bypass to GND with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with
a 100 pF ceramic capacitor. The 100 pF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the power supply
pin. A bulk capacitance of 10 µF needs to be in the vicinity of the LM96163's VDD pin.
2. A 100 pF diode bypass capacitor is recommended to filter high frequency noise but may not be necessary.
Place the recommended 100 pF diode capacitor as close as possible to the LM96163's D+ and D− pins.
Make sure the traces to the 100 pF capacitor are matched. The LM96163 can handle capacitance up to 3 nF
placed between the D+ and D- pins, see Typical Performance Characteristics curves titled Remote
Temperature Reading Sensitivity to Thermal Diode Filter Capacitance.
3. Ideally, the LM96163 should be placed within 10 cm of the Processor diode pins with the traces being as
straight, short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1 Ω can cause as much as 0.62°C of error. This
error can be compensated by using the Remote Temperature Offset Registers, since the value placed in
these registers will automatically be subtracted from or added to the remote temperature reading.
4. Diode traces should be surrounded by a GND guard ring to either side, above and below if possible. This
GND guard should not be between the D+ and D− lines. In the event that noise does couple to the diode
lines it would be ideal if it is coupled common mode. That is equally to the D+ and D− lines.
5. Avoid routing diode traces in close proximity to power supply switching or filtering inductors.
6. Avoid running diode traces close to or parallel to high speed digital and bus lines. Diode traces should be
kept at least 2 cm apart from the high speed digital traces.
7. If it is necessary to cross high speed digital traces, the diode traces and the high speed digital traces should
cross at a 90 degree angle.
8. The ideal place to connect the LM96163's GND pin is as close as possible to the Processor's GND
associated with the sense diode.
9. Leakage current between D+ and GND should be kept to a minimum. Thirteen nano-amperes of leakage can
cause as much as 0.2°C of error in the diode temperature reading. Keeping the printed circuit board as clean
as possible will minimize leakage current.
Noise coupling into the digital lines greater than 400 mVp-p (typical hysteresis) and undershoot less than 500 mV
below GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with the LM96163. SMBus no acknowledge is the
most common symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although the SMBus maximum frequency of
communication is rather low (100 kHz max), care still needs to be taken to ensure proper termination within a
system with multiple parts on the bus and long printed circuit board traces. An RC lowpass filter with a 3 dB
corner frequency of about 40 MHz is included on the LM96163's SMBCLK input. Additional resistance can be
added in series with the SMBDAT and SMBCLK lines to further help filter noise and ringing. Minimize noise
coupling by keeping digital traces out of switching power supply areas as well as ensuring that digital lines
containing high speed data communications cross at right angles to the SMBDAT and SMBCLK lines.
