LM95234
Quad Remote Diode and Local Temperature Sensor with
SMBus Interface and TruTherm™ Technology
General Description
■ TruTherm BJT beta compensation technology accurately
LM95234 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire
System Management Bus (SMBus) interface that can very
accurately monitor the temperature of four remote diodes as
well as its own temperature that includes patent pending remote diode TruTherm™ BJT beta compensation beta compensation technology. The four remote diodes can be
external devices such as microprocessors, graphics processors or diode-connected 2N3904s. The LM95234's TruTherm
BJT beta compensation technology allows sensing of 90 nm
or 65 nm process thermal diodes accurately.
The LM95234 reports temperature in two different formats for
+127.875°C/–128°C range and 0°C/255°C range. The
LM95234 TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 outputs are triggered
when any unmasked channel exceeds its corresponding programmable limit and can be used to shutdown the system, to
turn on the system fans or as a microcontroller interrupt function. The current status of the TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3
pins can be read back from the status registers. Mask registers are available for further control of the TCRIT outputs.
Two LM95234 remote temperature channels have programmable digital filters while the other two remote channels
utilize a fault-queue to minimize unwanted TCRIT events
when temperature spikes are encountered.
For optimum flexibility and accuracy, each LM95234 channel
includes registers for sub-micron process or 2N3904 diode
model selection as well as offset correction. A three-level address pin allows connection of up to 3 LM95234s to the same
SMBus master. The LM95234 includes power saving functions such as: programmable conversion rate, shutdown
mode, and disabling of unused channels.

Note 9: The accuracy of the LM95234CISD is guaranteed when using a typical thermal diode of an Intel processor on a 65 nm process or an MMBT3904 diodeconnected transistor, as selected in the Remote Diode Model Select register. See typical performance curve for performance with Intel processor on a 90 nm
process. For further information on other thermal diodes see applications Section 3.1 "Diode Non-ideality" or send email to [email protected].
Note 10: Quiescent current will not increase substantially with an SMBus communication.
Note 11: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM95234 can be read at any time without regard to conversion
state (and will yield last conversion result).
Note 12: The output rise time is measured from (VIN(0)max − 0.15V) to (VIN(1)min + 0.15V).
Note 13: The output fall time is measured from (VIN(1)min + 0.15V) to (VIN(0)max − 0.15V).
Note 14: Holding the SMBDAT and/or SMBCLK lines Low for a time interval greater than tTIMEOUT will reset the LM95234's SMBus state machine, therefore setting
SMBDAT and SMBCLK pins to a high impedance state.

LM95234
1.0 Functional Description
LM95234 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire
System Management Bus (SMBus) interface that can monitor
the temperature of four remote diodes as well as its own temperature. The LM95234 can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of up to four external devices such as
microprocessors, graphics processors or diode-connected
2N3904 transistor. The LM95234 includes TruTherm BJT beta compensation technology that allows sensing of Intel processors 90 nm or 65 nm process thermal diodes accurately.
The LM95234 reports temperature in two different formats for
+127.875°C/–128°C range and 0°C/255°C range. The
LM95234 has a Sigma-Delta ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) core which provides the first level of noise imunity. For
improved performance in a noisy environment the LM95234
includes programmable digital filters for Remote Diode 1 and
2 temperature readings. When the digital filters are invoked
the resolution for Remote Diode 1 and 2 readings increases
to 0.03125°C. The LM95234 contains a diode model selection
register that includes bits for each channel that select between thermal diodes of Intel processors on 65 nm process
or 2N3904s. For maximum flexibility and best accuracy the
LM95234 includes offset registers that allow calibration of
other diode types.
Diode fault detection circuitry in the LM95234 can detect the
absence or fault state of a remote diode: whether D+ is shorted to VDD, D- or ground, or whether D+ is floating.
The LM95234 TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 active low outputs are triggered when any unmasked channel exceeds its
corresponding programmable limit and can be used to shutdown the system, to turn on the system fans or as a microcontroller interrupt function. The current status of the
TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 pins can be read back from the
status registers via the SMBus interface. Two of the remote
channels have two separate limits each that control the
TCRIT1 and TCRIT2 pins. The remaining two channels and
the local channel each have one limit to control both the
TCRIT1 and TCRIT2 pins. The TCRIT3 pin shares the limits
of the TCRIT2 pin but allows for different masking options. All
limits have a shared programmable hysteresis register.
Remote Diode 1 and 2 temperature channels have programmable digital filters while the other two remote temperature channels utilize a fault-queue in order to avoid false
triggering the TCRIT pins.
LM95234 has a three-level address pin to connect up to 3
devices to the same SMBus master. LM95234 also has programmable conversion rate register as well as a shutdown
mode for power savings. One round of conversions can be
triggered in shutdown mode by writing to the one-shot register
through the SMBus interface. LM95234 can be programmed
to turn off unused channels for more power savings.
The LM95234 register set has an 8-bit data structure and includes:
1. Temperature Value Registers with signed format
— Most-Significant-Byte (MSB) and Least-SignificantByte (LSB) Local Temperature
— MSB and LSB Remote Temperature 1

Manufacturer ID Register
Revision ID Register
1.1 CONVERSION SEQUENCE
The LM95234 takes approximately 190 ms to convert the Local Temperature, Remote Temperatures 1 through 4, and to
update all of its registers. These conversions for each thermal
diode are addressed in a round robin sequence. Only during
the conversion process the busy bit (D7) in Status register
(02h) is high. 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 each round of conversions, the actual time for
each round remains at 190 ms (typical all channels enabled).
The time a round takes depends on the number of channels
that are on. Different conversion rates will cause the LM95234
to draw different amounts of average supply current as shown
in Figure 1. This curve assumes all the channels are on. If
channels are turned off the average current will drop since the
round robin time will decrease and the shutdown time will increase during each conversion interval.

1.3 SMBus INTERFACE
The LM95234 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the
SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is bidirectional.
The LM95234 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not
support clock stretching. According to SMBus specifications,
the LM95234 has a 7-bit slave address. Three SMBus device
address can be selected by connecting A0 (pin 6) to either
Low, Mid-Supply or High voltages. The LM95234 has the following SMBus slave address:

turned OFF independent from each other via the Channel
Enable Register. Turning off unused channels will increase
the conversion speed in the fastest conversion speed mode.
If the slower conversion speed settings are used, disabling
unused channels will reduce the average power consumption
of LM95234.

1.4.1 DIGITAL FILTER
In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings
due to noise as well as increase the resolution of the temperature, the LM95234 incorporates a digital filter for Remote 1
and 2 Temperature Channels. When a filter is enabled the
filtered readings are used for the TCRIT comparisons. There
are two possible digital filter settings that are enabled through
the Filter Setting Register at register address 0Fh. The filter
for each channel can be set according to the following table:

1.6 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data can only be read from the Local and Remote Temperature value registers. The data format for all
temperature values is left justified 16-bit word available in two
8-bit registers. Unused bits will always report "0". All temperature data is clamped and will not roll over when a temperature exceeds full-scale value.
Remote temperature data for all channels can be represented
by an 11-bit, two's complement word or unsigned binary word
with an LSb (Least Significant Bit) equal to 0.125°C.
1.5 FAULT QUEUE
In order to suppress erroneous TCRIT1,TCRIT2 and
TCRIT3 triggering the LM95234 incorporates a Fault Queue
for the unfiltered remote channels 3 and 4. The Fault Queue
acts to ensure the remote temperature measurement of these
channels is genuinely beyond the corresponding Tcrit limit by
not triggering until three consecutive out of limit measurements have been made, see Figure 4 for an example. The
Fault Queue defaults on upon power-up. The fault queue for
channels 3 and 4 can be turned ON or OFF via bits 0 and 1
of the Configuration Register. When the fault queue is enabled, the TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 pins will be triggered
if the temperature is above the Tcrit limit for 3 consecutive
conversions and the corresponding mask bit is 0 in the TCRIT
Mask registers. Similarly the temperature needs to be below
the Tcrit limit minus the hysteresis value for three consecutive

1.8 TCRIT1, TCRIT2, and TCRIT3 OUTPUTS
The LM95234's TCRIT pins are active-low open-drain outputs
and do not include internal pull-up resistors. A “high” level will
not be observed on these pins 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 performance of the device receiving the signal.
This will minimize any internal temperature reading errors due
to internal heating of the LM95234. The maximum resistance
of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based on LM95234
specification for High Level Output Current with the supply
voltage at 3.0V, is 82 kΩ (5%) or 88.7 kΩ (1%). The three
TCRIT pins can each sink 6 mA of current and still guarantee
a "Logic Low" output voltage of 0.4V. If all three pins are set
at maximum current this will cause a power dissipation of 7.2
mW. This power dissipation combined with a thermal resistance of 77.8°C/W will cause the LM95234's junction temperature to rise approximately 0.6°C and thus cause the Local
temperature reading to shift. This can only be cancelled out if
the environment that the LM95234 is enclosed in has stable
and controlled air flow over the LM95234, as airflow can
cause the thermal resistance to change dramatically.

1.7 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
LM95234. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide
a 2.1V high level, based on LM95234 specification for High
Level Output Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82
kΩ (5%) or 88.7 kΩ (1%).
When the digital filter is enabled on Remote 1 and 2 channels
temperature data is represented by a 13-bit unsigned binary
or 12-bit plus sign (two's complement) word with an LSb equal
to 0.03125°C.

If enabled, local temperature is compared to the user programmable Local Tcrit Limit Register (Default Value = 85°C).
The result of this comparison is stored in Status Register 2,
Status Register 3 and Status Register 4 (see Figure 5).The
comparison result can trigger TCRIT1 pin, TCRIT2 pin or
TCRIT3 pin depending on the settings in the TCRIT1 Mask,
TCRIT2 Mask and TRCIT3 Mask Registers (see Figure 6).
The comparison result can also be read back from the Status
Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4.
If enabled, remote temperature 1 is compared to the user
programmable Remote 1 Tcrit-1 Limit Register (Default Value
110°C) and Remote 1 Tcrit-2 Limit Register (Default Value =
85°C). The result of this comparison is stored in Status Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4 (see Figure
5). The comparison result can trigger TCRIT1 pin, TCRIT2 pin
or TCRIT3 pin depending on the settings in the TCRIT1 Mask,
TCRIT2 Mask and TRCIT3 Mask Registers (see Figure 6).
The comparison result can also be read back from the Status
Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4. The remote temperature 2 operates in a similar manner to remote
temperature 1 using its associated user programmable limit
registers: Remote 2 Tcrit-1 Limit Register (Default Value 110°
C) and Remote 2 Tcrit-2 Limit Register (Default Value = 85°
C). When enabled, the remote temperature 3 is compared to
the user programmable Remote 3 Tcrit Limit Register (Default
Value 85°C). The comparison result can trigger TCRIT1 pin,
TCRIT2 pin or TCRIT3 pin depending on the settings in the
TCRIT1 Mask, TCRIT2 Mask and TCRIT3 Mask Registers.
The comparison result can also be read back from the Status
Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4. The remote temperature 4 operates in a similar manner to remote
temperature 3 using its associated user programmable limit
register: Remote 4 Tcrit Limit Register (Default Value 85°C).

FIGURE 7. TCRIT response diagram (masking options not included)
The TCRIT response diagram of Figure 7 shows the local
temperature interaction with the Tcrit limit and hysteresis value. As can be seen in the diagram when the local temperature
exceeds the Tcrit limit register value the LTn Status bit is set
and the T_CRITn output(s) is/are activated. The Status bit(s)
and outputs are not deactivated until the temperature goes
below the value calculated by subtracting the Common Hysteresis value programmed from the limit. This diagram mainly
shows an example function of the hysteresis and is not meant
to show complete function of the possible settings and options
of all the TCRIT outputs and limit values.
A Write to the LM95234 will always include the address byte
and the command byte. A write to any register requires one
data byte.
Reading the LM95234 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 LM95234), 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 LM95234 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). It takes the LM95234 190 ms (typical, all channels enabled) to measure the temperature of the remote diodes and
internal diode. 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.
1.10 DIODE FAULT DETECTION
The LM95234 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 0 °C if unsigned format is selected. In addition, the appropriate status
register bits RD1M or RD2M (D1 or D0) are set.
1.11 COMMUNICATING with the LM95234
The data registers in the LM95234 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 LM95234 falls into one of three types
of user accessibility:
1. Read only
2. Write only
3. Write/Read same address

1.12 SERIAL INTERFACE RESET
In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the
LM95234 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the LM95234
must be returned to a known state in the communication protocol. This may be done in one of two ways:
17
When SMBDAT is LOW, the LM95234 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 25-35ms. Therefore, to
www.national.com
LM95234

insure a timeout of all devices on the bus the SMBCLK
or SMBDAT lines must be held low for at least 35ms.
When SMBDAT is HIGH, have the master initiate an
SMBus start. The LM95234 will respond properly to an
SMBus start condition at any point during the
communication. After the start the LM95234 will expect
an SMBus Address address byte.
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. All
the channels that are enabled in the Channel Enable Register
will be converted once and the TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and
TCRIT3 pins will reflect the comparison results based on this
round of conversion results of the channels that are not
masked.

The One-Shot register is used to initiate a round of conversions and comparisons when the device is in standby mode,

2.1 VALUE REGISTERS
For data synchronization purposes, the MSB register should be read first if the user wants to read both MSB and LSB registers.
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 lockedin

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
The LM95234 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 LM95234'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 LM95234 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 LM95234's die, incorporates remote diode sensing technology. This diode can
be located on the die of a target IC, allowing measurement of
the IC's temperature, independent of the LM95234'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 LM95234’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 LM95234 can measure a diode-connected
transistor such as the MMBT3904 or the thermal diode found
in an AMD processor.
The LM95234 has been optimized to measure the remote
thermal diode integrated in a typical Intel processor on 65 nm
or 90 nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. Using the Remote Diode Model Select register any of the four remote
inputs can be optimized for a typical Intel processor on 65 nm
or 90 nm process or an MMBT3904.
(2)
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:
(3)
Solving Equation 3 for temperature yields:
(4)
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 9 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 BJT beta compensation 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.

FIGURE 9. Thermal Diode Current Paths
TruTherm should only be enabled when measuring the temperature of a transistor integrated as shown in the processor
of Figure 9, because Equation 5 only applies to this topology.
(6)
Solving Equation 6 for RPCB equal to ±1.73Ω results in the
additional error due to the spread in the series resistance of
±1.07°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 6 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
LM95234.
3.1.2 Calculating Total System Accuracy
The voltage seen by the LM95234 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 nonideality factor is not controlled by the temperature sensor, it
will directly add to the inaccuracy of the sensor. For the for
Intel processor on 65 nm 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 4, 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 nonideality variation of +1.19%/−0.27%. The resulting system
accuracy of the processor temperature being sensed will be:
TACC = + 1.0°C + (+4.06% of 353 K) = +15.3 °C

TrueTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation
4, 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 Intel processor on
90 nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm
BJT beta compensation technology improves 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 65 nm
process, this is specified at 4.52Ω typical. The LM95234 accommodates the typical series resistance of Intel Processor
on 65 nm process. The error that is not accounted for is the
spread of the processor's series resistance, that is 2.79Ω to
6.24Ω or ±1.73Ω. The equation to calculate the temperature
error due to series resistance (TER) for the LM95234 is simply:

3.1.3 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. National Semiconductor temperature sensors are
always calibrated to the typical non-ideality and series resistance of a given processor type. The LM95234 is calibrated
for two non-ideality factors and series resistance values thus
supporting the MMBT3904 transistor and Intel processors on
65 nm process without the requirement for additional trims.
For most accurate measurements TruTherm BJT beta compensation mode should be turned on when measuring the
Intel processor on 65 nm process to minimize the error introduced by the false non-ideality spread (see 3.1.1 Diode NonIdeality 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 LM95234.

FIGURE 10. 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 LM95234 can cause temperature conversion errors.
Keep in mind that the signal level the LM95234 is trying to
measure is in microvolts. The following guidelines should be
followed:
1. VDD should be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor in
parallel with 100 pF. The 100 pF capacitor should be
placed as close as possible to the power supply pin. A
bulk capacitance of approximately 10 µF needs to be in
the near vicinity of the LM95234.
2. A 100 pF diode bypass capacitor is recommended to filter
high frequency noise but may not be necessary. Make
sure the traces to the 100 pF capacitor are matched.
Place the filter capacitors close to the LM95234 pins.
3. Ideally, the LM95234 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 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 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 LM95234'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 nanoamperes 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 LM95234. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common
symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although

where
• ηS = LM95234 non-ideality for accuracy specification
• ηPROCESSOR = Processor thermal diode typical non-ideality
• TCR = center of the temperature range of interest in °C
The correction factor should be directly added to the temperature reading produced by the LM95234. For example when
using the LM95234, 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:

Therefore, 1.75°C should be subtracted from the temperature
readings of the LM95234 to compensate for the differing typical non-ideality target.

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 LM95234'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.
