DESCRIPTION
The LM95231 is a precision dual remote diode
temperature sensor (RDTS) that uses Texas
Instruments' TruTherm technology. The 2-wire serial
interface of the LM95231 is compatible with SMBus
2.0. The LM95231 can sense three temperature
zones, it can measure the temperature of its own die
as well as two diode connected transistors. The
LM95231 includes digital filtering and an advanced
input stage that includes analog filtering and
TruTherm technology that reduces processor-toprocessor non-ideality spread. The diode connected
transistors can be a “thermal diode” as found in Intel
and AMD processors or can simply be a diode
connected
MMBT3904
transistor.
TruTherm
technology allows accurate measurement of “thermal
diodes” found on small geometry processes, 90nm
and below. The LM95231 supports user selectable
thermal diode non-ideality of either a Pentium 4
processor on 90nm process or 2N3904.
The LM95231 resolution format for remote
temperature readings can be programmed to be 11bits signed or unsigned with the digital filtering
disabled. When the filtering is enabled the resolution
increases to 13-bits signed or unsigned. In the
unsigned mode the LM95231 remote diode readings
can resolve temperatures above 127°C. Local
temperature readings have a resolution of 9-bits plus
sign.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is ensured to be functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test condition listed. Some performance
characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the
Maximum Operating Ratings is not recommended.
When the input voltage (VI) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VI < GND or VI > VDD), the current at that pin should be limited to 5
mA. Parasitic components and or ESD protection circuitry are shown in Figure 2 and Table 1 for the LM95231's pins. Care should be
taken not to forward bias the parasitic diode, D1, present on pins: D1+, D2+, D1−, D2−. Doing so by more than 50 mV may corrupt the
temperature measurements.

Typicals are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm at time of product characterization. The typical specifications are
not ensured.
Limits are specified to AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Local temperature accuracy does not include the effects of self-heating. The rise in temperature due to self-heating is the product of the
internal power dissipation of the LM95231 and the thermal resistance. See Note 2 of the Operating Ratings table for the thermal
resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation.

The accuracy of the LM95231 is ensured when using the thermal diode of Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process or an MMBT3904 type
transistor, as selected in the Remote Diode Model Select register.
This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM95231 can be read at any time without
regard to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result).
Quiescent current will not increase substantially when the SMBus is active.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LM95231 is a digital sensor that can sense the temperature of 3 thermal zones using a sigma-delta analogto-digital converter. It can measure its local die temperature and the temperature of two external transistor
junctions using a ΔVbe temperature sensing method. The LM95231 can support two external transistor types, a
Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process thermal diode or a 2N3904 diode connected transistor. The transistor
type is register programmable and does not require software intervention after initialization. The LM95231 has an
advanced input stage using Texas Instruments' TruTherm technology that reduces the spread in non-ideality
found in Pentium 4 processors on 90nm process. Internal analog filtering has been included in the thermal diode
input stage thus minimizing the need for external thermal diode filter capacitors. In addition a digital filter has
been added. These noise immunity improvements in the analog input stage along with the digital filtering will
allow longer trace tracks or cabling to the thermal diode than previous thermal diode sensor devices.
The 2-wire serial interface, of the LM95231, is compatible with SMBus 2.0 and I2C. Please see the SMBus 2.0
specification for a detailed description of the differences between the I2C bus and SMBus.
The temperature conversion rate is programmable to allow the user to optimize the current consumption of the
LM95231 to the system requirements. The LM95231 can be placed in shutdown to minimize power consumption
when temperature data is not required. While in shutdown, a 1-shot conversion mode allows system control of
the conversion rate for ultimate flexibility.
The remote diode temperature resolution is variable and depends on whether the digital filter is activated. When
the digital filter is active the resolution is thirteen bits and is programmable to 13-bits unsigned or 12-bits plus
sign, with a least-significant-bit (LSb) weight for both resolutions of 0.03125°C. When the digital filter is inactive
the resolution is eleven bits and is programmable to 11-bits unsigned or 10-bits plus sign, with a least-significantbit (LSb) weight for both resolutions of 0.125°C. The unsigned resolution allows the remote diodes to sense
temperatures above 127°C. Local temperature resolution is not programmable and is always 9-bits plus sign and
has a 0.25°C LSb.
The LM95231 remote diode temperature accuracy will be trimmed for the thermal diode of a Pentium 4 processor
on 90nm process or a 2N3904 transistor and the accuracy will be ensured only when using either of these diodes
when selected appropriately. TruTherm mode should be enabled when measuring a Pentium 4 processor on
90nm process and disabled when measuring a 2N3904 transistor. Enabling TruTherm mode with a 2N3904
transistor connected may produce unexpected temperature readings.
Diode fault detection circuitry in the LM95231 can detect the presence of a remote diode: whether D+ is shorted
to VDD, D- or ground, or whether D+ is floating.
The LM95231 register set has an 8-bit data structure and includes:
1. Most-Significant-Byte (MSB) Local Temperature Register
2. Least-Significant-Byte (LSB) Local Temperature Register
3. MSB Remote Temperature 1 Register

CONVERSION SEQUENCE
In the power up default state the LM95231 takes maximum a 77.5 ms to convert the Local Temperature, Remote
Temperature 1 and 2, and to update all of its registers. Only during the conversion process is the busy bit (D7) in
the Status register (02h) high. These conversions are addressed in a round robin sequence. The conversion rate
may be modified by the Conversion Rate bits found in the Configuration Register (03h). When the conversion
rate is modified a delay is inserted between conversions, the actual maximum conversion time remains at 87.7
ms. Different conversion rates will cause the LM95231 to draw different amounts of supply current as shown in
Figure 6.

SMBus INTERFACE
The LM95231 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is
bidirectional. The LM95231 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to
SMBus specifications, the LM95231 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits A6 through A0 are internally programmed
and can not be changed by software or hardware. The SMBus slave address is dependent on the LM95231 part

SNIS139E – FEBRUARY 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2013
SMBDAT OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT
The SMBDAT output is an open-drain output and does not have internal pull-ups. A “high” level will not be
observed on this pin until pull-up current is provided by some external source, typically a pull-up resistor. Choice
of resistor value depends on many system factors but, in general, the pull-up resistor should be as large as
possible without effecting the SMBus desired data rate. This will minimize any internal temperature reading
errors due to internal heating of the LM95231. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high
level, based on LM95231 specification for High Level Output Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82kΩ
(5%) or 88.7kΩ (1%).
1.6 DIODE FAULT DETECTION
The LM95231 is equipped with operational circuitry designed to detect fault conditions concerning the remote
diodes. In the event that the D+ pin is detected as shorted to GND, D−, VDD or D+ is floating, the Remote
Temperature reading is –128.000 °C if signed format is selected and +255.875 if unsigned format is selected. In
addition, the appropriate status register bits RD1M or RD2M (D1 or D0) are set. When TruTherm mode is active
the condition of diode short of D+ to D− will not be detected. Connecting a 2N3904 transistor with TruTherm
mode active may cause a detection of a diode fault.
1.7 COMMUNICATING with the LM95231
The data registers in the LM95231 are selected by the Command Register. At power-up the Command Register
is set to “00”, the location for the Read Local Temperature Register. The Command Register latches the last
location it was set to. Each data register in the LM95231 falls into one of four types of user accessibility:
1. Read only
2. Write only
3. Write/Read same address
4. Write/Read different address
A Write to the LM95231 will always include the address byte and the command byte. A write to any register
requires one data byte.
Reading the LM95231 can take place either of two ways:
1. If the location latched in the Command Register is correct (most of the time it is expected that the Command
Register will point to one of the Read Temperature Registers because that will be the data most frequently
read from the LM95231), then the read can simply consist of an address byte, followed by retrieving the data
byte.
2. If the Command Register needs to be set, then an address byte, command byte, repeat start, and another
address byte will accomplish a read.
The data byte has the most significant bit first. At the end of a read, the LM95231 can accept either acknowledge
or No Acknowledge from the Master (No Acknowledge is typically used as a signal for the slave that the Master
has read its last byte). When retrieving all 11 bits from a previous remote diode temperature measurement, the
master must insure that all 11 bits are from the same temperature conversion. This may be achieved by reading
the MSB register first. The LSB will be locked after the MSB is read. The LSB will be unlocked after being read. If
the user reads MSBs consecutively, each time the MSB is read, the LSB associated with that temperature will be
locked in and override the previous LSB value locked-in.

SERIAL INTERFACE RESET
In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the LM95231 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the
LM95231 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 LM95231 SMBus state machine resets to the SMBus idle state if either
SMBDAT or SMBCLK are held low for more than 35ms (tTIMEOUT). Note that according to SMBus
specification 2.0 all devices are to timeout when either the SMBCLK or SMBDAT lines are held low for 2535ms. Therefore, to insure a timeout of all devices on the bus the SMBCLK or SMBDAT lines must be held
low for at least 35ms.

2. When SMBDAT is HIGH, have the master initiate an SMBus start. The LM95231 will respond properly to an
SMBus start condition at any point during the communication. After the start the LM95231 will expect an
SMBus Address address byte.
ONE-SHOT CONVERSION
The One-Shot register is used to initiate a single conversion and comparison cycle when the device is in standby
mode, after which the device returns to standby. This is not a data register and it is the write operation that
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.
LM95231 Registers
Command register selects which registers will be read from or written to. Data for this register should be
transmitted during the Command Byte of the SMBus write communication.

Applications Hints
The LM95231 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 LM95231'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 LM95231 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.
To measure temperature external to the LM95231's die, use a remote diode. This diode can be located on the
die of a target IC, allowing measurement of the IC's temperature, independent of the LM95231's 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 LM95231's TruTherm technology allows accurate sensing of integrated thermal diodes, such as those found
on processors. With TruTherm technology turned off, the LM95231 can measure a diode connected transistor
such as the MMBT3904.
The LM95231 has been optimized to measure the remote thermal diode integrated in a Pentium 4 processor on
90nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. Using the Remote Diode Model Select register either pair of remote
inputs can be assigned to be either a Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process or an MMBT3904.

In Equation 2, 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 4 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 11 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 4 is an approximation.
TruTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 5, 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 LM95231 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 Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process, Intel specifies a +1.19%/−0.27%
variation in η from part to part when the processor diode is measured by a circuit that assumes diode equation,
Equation 4, as true. As an example, assume a temperature sensor has an accuracy specification of ±0.75°C at a
temperature of 65 °C (338 Kelvin) and the processor diode has a non-ideality variation of +1.19%/−0.27%. The
resulting system accuracy of the processor temperature being sensed will be:
TACC = ± 0.75°C + (+1.19% of 338 K) = +4.76 °C
(6)
TACC = ± 0.75°C + (−0.27% of 338 K) = −1.65 °C
(7)
and
TrueTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 5, resulting in a non-ideality spread that truly
reflects the process variation which is very small. The transistor equation non-ideality spread is ±0.1% for the
Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm technology improves to:
TACC = ±0.75°C + (±0.1% of 338 K) = ± 1.08 °C
(8)
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 the Pentium 4
processor on 90 nm process, this is specified at 3.33Ω typical. The LM95231 accommodates the typical series
resistance of the Pentium 4 processor on 90 nm process. The error that is not accounted for is the spread of the
Pentium's series resistance, that is 3.242Ω to 3.594Ω or +0.264Ω to −0.088Ω. The equation to calculate the
temperature error due to series resistance (TER) for the LM95231 is simply:

TER = RPCB x 0.62°C/ :
(9)
Solving Equation 9 for RPCB equal to +0.264Ω and −0.088Ω results in the additional error due to the spread in the
series resistance of +0.16°C to −0.05°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 9 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 LM95231.

Compensating for Different Non-Ideality
In order to compensate for the errors introduced by non-ideality, the temperature sensor is calibrated for a
particular processor. Texas Instruments temperature sensors are always calibrated to the typical non-ideality and
series resistance of a given processor type. The LM95231 is calibrated for two non-ideality factors and series
resistance values thus supporting the MMBT3904 transistor and the Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process
without the requirement for additional trims. For most accurate measurements TruTherm mode should be turned
on when measuring the Pentium 4 processor on the 90nm process to minimize the error introduced by the false
non-ideality spread (see Diode Non-Ideality Factor Effect on Accuracy). When a temperature sensor calibrated
for a particular processor type is used with a different processor type, additional errors are introduced.
Temperature errors associated with non-ideality of different processor types may be reduced in a specific
temperature range of concern through use of software calibration. Typical Non-ideality specification differences
cause a gain variation of the transfer function, therefore the center of the temperature range of interest should be
the target temperature for calibration purposes. The following equation can be used to calculate the temperature
correction factor (TCF) required to compensate for a target non-ideality differing from that supported by the
LM95231.
TCF = [(ηS−ηProcessor) ÷ ηS] × (TCR+ 273 K)
(10)
where
• ηS = LM95231 non-ideality for accuracy specification
• ηT = target thermal diode typical non-ideality
• TCR = center of the temperature range of interest in °C
The correction factor of Equation 10 should be directly added to the temperature reading produced by the
LM95231. For example when using the LM95231, with the 3904 mode selected, to measure a AMD Athlon
processor, with a typical non-ideality of 1.008, for a temperature range of 60 °C to 100 °C the correction factor
would calculate to:
TCF=[(1.003−1.008)÷1.003]×(80+273) =−1.75°C
(11)
Therefore, 1.75°C should be subtracted from the temperature readings of the LM95231 to compensate for the
differing typical non-ideality target.

PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE
Figure 12. 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 LM95231 can cause temperature
conversion errors. Keep in mind that the signal level the LM95231 is trying to measure is in microvolts. The
following guidelines should be followed:
1. VDD should be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with 100pF. The 100pF capacitor should be placed
as close as possible to the power supply pin. A bulk capacitance of approximately 10µF needs to be in the
near vicinity of the LM95231.
2. A 100pF diode bypass capacitor is recommended to filter high frequency noise but may not be necessary.
Make sure the traces to the 100pF capacitor are matched. Place the filter capacitors close to the LM95231
pins.
3. Ideally, the LM95231 should be placed within 10cm of the Processor diode pins with the traces being as
straight, short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1Ω can cause as much as 0.62°C of error. This
error can be compensated by using simple software offset compensation.
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 2cm 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 LM95231's GND pin is as close as possible to the Processors GND
associated with the sense diode.
9. Leakage current between D+ and GND and between D+ and D− 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 400mVp-p (typical hysteresis) and undershoot less than 500mV
below GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with the LM95231. SMBus no acknowledge is the
most common symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although the SMBus maximum frequency of
communication is rather low (100kHz 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 3db
corner frequency of about 40MHz is included on the LM95231'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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
