LM73 2.7V, SOT-23, 11-to-14 Bit Digital Temperature Sensor with 2-Wire Interface General Description Key Specifications The LM73 is an integrated, digital-output temperature sensor featuring an incremental Delta-Sigma ADC with a two-wire interface that is compatible with the SMBus and I2C ® interfaces. The host can query the LM73 at any time to read temperature. Available in a 6-pin SOT-23 package, the LM73 occupies very little board area while operating over a wide temperature range (-40˚C to 150˚C) and providing ± 1.0˚C accuracy from -10˚C to 80˚C. The user can optimize between the conversion time and the sensitivity of the LM73 by programming it to report temperature in any of four different resolutions. Defaulting to 11-bit mode (0.25˚C/LSB), the LM73 measures temperature in a maximum time of 14 ms, making it ideal for applications that require temperature data very soon after power-up. In its maximum resolution, 14-bit mode (0.03125˚C/LSB), the LM73 is optimized to sense very small changes in temperature. A single multi-level address line selects one of three unique device addresses. An open-drain ALERT output goes active when the temperature exceeds a programmable limit. Both the data and clock lines are filtered for excellent noise tolerance and reliable communication. Additionally, a time-out feature on the clock and data lines causes the LM73 to automatically reset these lines if either is held low for an extended time, thus exiting any bus lock-up condition without processor intervention.

DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device beyond its rated operating conditions. Note 3: 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. Note 4: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages. Note 5: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model, 200 pF discharged directly into each pin. Note 6: Typicals are at TA = 25˚C and represent most likely parametric norm. Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level). Note 8: 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 LM73 and the thermal resistance. Note 9: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM73 can be read at any time without regard to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result). Note 10: The output fall time is measured from (VIL;MAX - 0.15V) to (VIH;MIN + 0.15V). Note 11: Holding the SMBDAT and/or SMBCLK lines Low for a time interval greater than tTIMEOUT will reset the LM73’s SMBus state machine, setting SMBDAT and SMBCLK pins to a high impedance state. Note 12: Represents the time from VDD reaching the power-on-reset level to the LM73 communications being functional. After an additional time equal to one temperature conversion time, valid temperature will be available in the Temperature Register. Note 13: A write to an invalid pointer address is not allowed. If the master writes an invalid address to the Pointer Register, (1) the LM73 will not acknowledge the address and (2) the Pointer Register will continue to contain the last value stored in it. www.national.com 6 LM73 Typical Performance Characteristics Accuracy vs. Temperature Operating Current vs. Temperature 20147820 20147821 Shutdown Current vs.Temperature Typical Output Noise 20147823 20147822 7 www.national.com LM73 present before initiating the one-shot conversion. After the temperature measurement is complete, the DAV flag will be set to "1" and the temperature register will contain the resultant measured temperature. 1.0 Functional Description The LM73 is a digital temperature sensor that senses the temperature of its die using a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter and stores the temperature in the Temperature Register. The LM73’s 2-wire serial interface 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. 1.3 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT The resolution of the temperature data and the size of the data word are user-selectable through bits RES1 and RES0 in the Control/Status Register. By default, the LM73 temperature stores the measured temperature in an 11-bit (10 bits plus sign) word with one least significant bit (LSB) equal to 0.25˚C. The maximum word size is 14 bits (13-bits plus sign) with a resolution of 0.03125 ˚C/LSB. The temperature resolution is programmable, allowing the host system to select the optimal configuration between sensitivity and conversion time. The LM73 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 LM73 features the following registers. See Section 2.0 for a complete list of the pointer address, content, and reset state of each register. 1. Pointer Register CONTROL BIT 2. 3. Temperature Register Configuration Register 4. THIGH Register 5. TLOW Register 6. Control/Status Register 7. Identification Register DATA FORMAT RES1 RES0 WORD SIZE 0 0 11 bits RESOLUTION 0.25 ˚C/LSB 0 1 12 bits 0.125 ˚C/LSB 1 0 13 bits 0.0625 ˚C/LSB 1 1 14 bits 0.03125 ˚C/LSB The temperature data is reported in 2’s complement format. The word is stored in the 16-bit Temperature Register and is left justified in this register. Unused temperature-data bits are always reported as "0". 11-bit (10-bit plus sign) 1.1 POWER-ON RESET The power-on reset (POR) state is the point at which the supply voltage rises above the power-on reset threshold (specified in the electrical specifications table), generating an internal reset. Each of the registers contains a defined value upon POR and this data remains there until any of the following occurs: Temperature The first temperature conversion is completed, causing the Temperature Register and various status bits to be updated internally, depending on the value of the measured temperature 2. The master writes different data to any R/W bits 3. The LM73 is powered down 1.2 ONE-SHOT CONVERSION The LM73 features a one-shot conversion bit, which is used to initiate a single conversion and comparison cycle when the LM73 is in shutdown mode. While the LM73 is in shutdown mode, writing a "1" to the One-Shot bit in the Configuration Register will cause the LM73 to perform a single temperature conversion and update the Temperature Register and the affected status bits. Operating the LM73 in this one-shot mode allows for extremely low average-power consumption, making it ideal for low-power applications. When the One-Shot bit is set, the LM73 initiates a temperature conversion. After this initiation, but before the completion of the conversion and resultant register updates, the LM73 is in a "one-shot" state. During this state, the Data Available (DAV) flag in the Control/Status register is "0" and the Temperature Register contains the value 8000h (-256˚C). All other registers contain the data that was www.national.com Hex 0100 1011 0000 0000 4B00h +25˚C 0000 1100 1000 0000 0C80h +1˚C 0000 0000 1000 0000 0080h +0.25˚C 0000 0000 0010 0000 0020h 0˚C 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000h −0.25˚C 1111 1111 1110 0000 FFE0h −1˚C 1111 1111 1000 0000 FF80h −25˚C 1111 0011 1000 0000 F380h −40˚C 1110 1100 0000 0000 EC00h +150˚C 1.

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 LM73. The LM73 features an integrated low-pass filter on both the SMBCLK and the SMBDAT line. These filters increase communications reliability in noisy environments.

Once the SMBDAT is released high, the master may initiate an SMBus start. 14-bit (13-bit plus sign) Temperature 1.5 ALERT FUNCTION The ALERT output is an over-temperature indicator. At the end of every temperature conversion, the measured temperature is compared to the value in the THIGH Register. If the measured temperature exceeds the value stored in THIGH, the ALERT output goes active (see Figure Figure 1). This over-temperature condition will also cause the ALRT_STAT bit in the Control/Status Register to change value (this bit mirrors the logic level of the ALERT pin). The ALERT pin and the ALRT_STAT bit are cleared when any of the following occur: 1. The measured temperature falls below the value stored in the TLOW Register 2. A "1" is written to the ALERT Reset bit in the Configuration Register 3. The master resets it through an SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA) procedure Digital Output Binary Hex +150˚C 0100 1011 0000 0000 4B00h +25˚C 0000 1100 1000 0000 0C80h +1˚C 0000 0000 1000 0000 0080h +0.03125˚C 0000 0000 0000 0100 0004h 0˚C 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000h −0.03125˚C 1111 1111 1111 1100 FFFCh −1˚C 1111 1111 1000 0000 FF80h −25˚C 1111 0011 1000 0000 F380h −40˚C 1110 1100 0000 0000 EC00h 1.4 SMBus INTERFACE The LM73 operates as a slave on the SMBus. The SMBDAT line is bidirectional. The SMBCLK line is is an input only. The LM73 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. The LM73 uses a 7-bit slave address. It is available in two versions. Each version can be configured for one of three unique slave addresses, for a total of six unique address.

Each temperature reading is associated with a Temperature High (THI) and a Temperature Low (TLOW) flag in the Control/Status Register. A digital comparison determines whether that reading is above the THIGH setpoint or below the TLOW setpoint. If so, the corresponding flag is set. All digital comparisons to the THIGH, and TLOW values are based on an 11-bit temperature comparison. Regardless of the resolution setting of the LM73, the lower three temperature LSBs will not affect the state of the ALERT output, THI flag, and TLOW flag. 9 www.national.com LM73 1.0 Functional Description LM73 1.0 Functional Description (Continued) 1.6 COMMUNICATING with the LM73 The data registers in the LM73 are selected by the Pointer Register. At power-up the Pointer Register is set to “00h”, the location for the Temperature Register. The Pointer Register latches the last location it was set to. Note that all Pointer Register bits are decoded; any incorrect pointer values will not be acknowledged and will not be stored in the Pointer Register (Note 13). A Write to the LM73 will always include the address byte and the pointer byte. A Read from the LM73 can take place either of two ways: 1. 20147816 FIGURE 1. ALERT Temperature Response cleared when temperature crosses TLOW 2. If the location latched in the Pointer Register is correct (that is, the Pointer Register is pre-set prior to the read), then the read can simply consist of an address byte, followed by retrieving the data byte. Most of the time it is expected that the Pointer Register will point to Temperature Registers because that will be the data most frequently read from the LM73. If the Pointer Register needs to be set, then an address byte, pointer byte, repeat start, and another address byte will accomplish a read. The data byte is read out of the LM73 by the most significant bit first. At the end of a read, the LM73 can accept either an Acknowledge or No Acknowledge bit from the Master. No Acknowledge is typically used as a signal to the slave that the Master has read its last byte. 20147817 FIGURE 2.

Recommend customer write zero only. 3 ALERT Pin Status Value is 0 when ALERT output is low. Value is 1 when ALERT output is high. The ALERT output is reset under any of the following conditions: (1) Cleared by writing a 1 to the ALERT Reset bit in the configuration register, (2) Measured temperature falls below the TLOW limit, or (3) cleared via the ARA sequence. Recommend customer write zero only. 2 Temperature High Flag Bit is set to 1 when the measured temperature exceeds the THIGH limit stored in the programmable THIGH register. Flag is reset to 0 when both of the following conditions are met: (1) measured temperature no longer exceeds the programmed THIGH limit and (2) upon reading the Control/Status register. If the temperature is not longer above the THIGH limit, this status bit remains set until it is read by the master so that the system can check the history of what caused the ALERT output to go active. This bit is not cleared after every read if the measured temperature is still above the THIGH limit. 1 Temperature Low Flag Bit is set to 1 when the measured temperature falls below the TLOW limit stored in the programmable TLOW register. Flag is reset to 0 when both of the following conditions are met: (1) measured temperature is no longer below the programmed TLOW limit and (2) upon reading the Control/Status register. If the temperature is no longer below the TLOW limit, the status bit remains set until it is read by the master so that the system can check the history of what cause the ALERT output to go active. This bit is not cleared after every read if temperature is still below TLOW limit. 0 Data Available Flag This bit is 0 when the LM73 is in the process of converting a new temperature. It is 1 when the conversion is done. After initiating a temperature conversion while operating in the one-shot mode, this status bit can be monitored to indicate when the conversion is done. After triggering the one-shot conversion, the data in the temperature register is invalid until this bit is high (that is, after completion of the conversion). On power-up, the LM73 is in continuous conversion mode; while in continuous conversion mode (the default mode after power-on reset) this bit will always be high.

In many applications, the low temperature error can mean better system performance and, by eliminating a system calibration step, lower production cost. With digital resolution as fine as 0.03125 ˚C/LSB, the LM73 senses and reports very small changes in its temperature, making it ideal for applications where temperature sensitivity is important. For example, the LM73 enables the system to quickly identify the direction of temperature change, allowing the processor to take compensating action before the system reaches a critical temperature. The LM73 has very low output noise, typically 0.015˚C rms, which makes it ideal for applications where stable thermal compensation is a priority. For example, in a temperaturecompensated oscillator application, the very small deviation in successive temperature readings translates to a stable frequency output from the oscillator. To get the expected results when measuring temperature with an integrated circuit temperature sensor like the LM73, it is important to understand that the sensor measures its own die temperature. For the LM73, the best thermal path between the die and the outside world is through the LM73’s pins. In the SOT23 package, all the pins on the LM73 will have an equal effect on the die temperature. Because the pins represent a good thermal path to the LM73 die, the LM73 will provide an accurate measurement of the temperature of the printed circuit board on which it is mounted. There is a less efficient thermal path between the plastic package and the LM73 die. If the ambient air temperature is significantly different from the printed circuit board temperature, it will have a small effect on the measured temperature. 17 www.national.com LM73 3.0 Application Hints LM73 2.7V, SOT-23, 11-to-14 Bit Digital Temperature Sensor with 2-Wire Interface Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 6-Lead Thin-SOT23, Order Number LM73CIMK or LM73CIMKX NS Package Number MK06A National does not assume any responsibility for use of any circuitry described, no circuit patent licenses are implied and National reserves the right at any time without notice to change said circuitry and specifications.
