LM86
± 0.75˚C Accurate, Remote Diode and Local Digital
Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface
General Description
The LM86 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a
2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) serial interface.
The LM86 accurately measures its own temperature as well
as the temperature of an external device, such as processor
thermal diode or diode connected transistor such as the
2N3904. The temperature of any ASIC can be accurately
determined using the LM86 as long as a dedicated diode
(semiconductor junction) is available on the target die. The
LM86 remote sensor accuracy of ± 0.75˚C is factory trimmed
for the 1.008 typical non-ideality factor of the mobile Pentium™ III thermal diode. The LM86 has an Offset
register to allow measuring other diodes without
requiring continuous software management. Contact
[email protected] to obtain the latest data for
new processors.
Activation of the ALERT output occurs when any temperature goes outside a preprogrammed window set by the HIGH
and LOW temperature limit registers or exceeds the T_CRIT
temperature limit. Activation of the T_CRIT_A occurs when
any temperature exceeds the T_CRIT programmed limit.
The LM86 is pin and register compatible with the the Analog
Devices ADM1032 and Maxim MAX6657/8.

1.0 Functional Description
The LM86 temperature sensor incorporates a delta VBE
based temperature sensor using a Local or Remote diode
and a 10-bit plus sign ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital
Converter). The LM86 is compatible with the serial SMBus
version 2.0 two-wire interface. Digital comparators compare
the measured Local Temperature (LT) to the Local High
(LHS), Local Low (LLS) and Local T_CRIT (LCS) userprogrammable temperature limit registers. The measured
Remote Temperature (RT) is digitally compared to the Remote High (RHS), Remote Low (RLS) and Remote T_CRIT
(RCS) user-programmable temperature limit registers. Activation of the ALERT output indicates that a comparison is
greater than the limit preset in a T_CRIT or HIGH limit
register or less than the limit preset in a LOW limit register.
The T_CRIT_A output responds as a true comparator with
built in hysteresis. The hysteresis is set by the value placed
in the Hysteresis register (TH). Activation of T_CRIT_A occurs when the temperature is above the T_CRIT setpoint.
T_CRIT_A remains activated until the temperature goes below the setpoint calculated by T_CRIT − TH. The hysteresis
register impacts both the remote temperature and local temperature readings.
The LM86 may be placed in a low power consumption
(Shutdown) mode by setting the RUN/STOP bit found in the
Configuration register. In the Shutdown mode, the LM86’s
SMBus interface remains while all circuitry not required is
turned off.
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. Two offset registers (RTOLB and
RTOHB) can be used to compensate for non_ideality error,
discussed further in Section 4.1 DIODE NON-IDEALITY.
The remote temperature reading reported is adjusted by
subtracting from or adding to the actual temperature reading
the value placed in the offset registers.

FIGURE 2. Conversion Rate Effect on Power Supply
Current
1.2 THE ALERT OUTPUT
The LM86’s ALERT pin is an active-low open-drain output
that is triggered by a temperature conversion that is outside
the limits defined by the temperature setpoint registers. Reset of the ALERT output is dependent upon the selected
method of use. The LM86’s ALERT pin is versatile and will
accommodate three different methods of use to best serve
the system designer: as a temperature comparator, as a
temperature based interrupt flag, and 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 LM86.
Each temperature reading (LT and RT) is associated with a
T_CRIT setpoint register (LCS, RCS), a HIGH setpoint register (LHS and RHS) and a LOW setpoint register (LLS and
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 STATUS REGISTER is set. If the
ALERT mask bit is not high, any bit set in the STATUS
REGISTER, with the exception of Busy (D7) and OPEN
(D2), will cause the ALERT output to be pulled low. Any
temperature conversion that is out of the limits defined by the
temperature setpoint registers will trigger an ALERT. Additionally, the ALERT mask bit in the Configuration register
must be cleared to trigger an ALERT in all modes.
1.1 CONVERSION SEQUENCE
The LM86 takes approximately 31.25 ms to convert the
Local Temperature (LT), Remote Temperature (RT), and to
update all of its registers. Only during the conversion process the busy bit (D7) in the Status register (02h) is high.
These conversions are addressed in a round robin sequence. The conversion rate may be modified by the Conversion Rate Register (04h). When the conversion rate is
modified a delay is inserted between conversions, the actual
conversion time remains at 31.25ms. Different conversion
rates will cause the LM86 to draw different amounts of
supply current as shown in Figure 2.
1.2.1 ALERT Output as a Temperature Comparator
When the LM86 is implemented in a system in which it is not
serviced by an interrupt routine, the ALERT output could be
used as a temperature comparator. Under this method of
use, once the condition that triggered the ALERT to go low is

LM86
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 LM86 and the thermal resistance. See (Note 5) for the thermal resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation.
LM86
1.0 Functional Description
(Continued)
no longer present, the ALERT is de-asserted (Figure 3). 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, bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the
FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must
be set high. This is not the power on default default state.
10130328
FIGURE 4. ALERT Output as an Interrupt Temperature
Response Diagram
1.2.3 ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT
When the ALERT output is connected to one or more ALERT
outputs of other SMBus compatible devices and to a master,
an SMBus alert line is created. Under this implementation,
the LM86’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 resolving which part generated
an interrupt and service that interrupt while impeding system
operation as little as possible.
The SMBus alert line is connected to the open-drain ports of
all devices on the bus thereby AND’ing them together. The
ARA is a method by which with one command the SMBus
master may identify which part is pulling the SMBus alert line
LOW and prevent it from pulling it 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, first, send their address to the master and second,
release the SMBus alert line after recognizing a successful
transmission of their address.
The SMBus 1.1 and 2.0 specification state that in response
to an ARA (Alert Response Address) “after acknowledging
the slave address the device must disengage its SMBALERT
pulldown”. Furthermore, “if the host still sees SMBALERT
low when the message transfer is complete, it knows to read
the ARA again”. This SMBus “disengaging of SMBALERT”
requirement prevents locking up the SMBus alert line. Competitive parts may address this “disengaging of SMBALERT”
requirement differently than the LM86 or not at all. SMBus
systems that implement the ARA protocol as suggested for
the LM86 will be fully compatible with all competitive parts.
The LM86 fulfills “disengaging of SMBALERT” by setting the
ALERT mask bit (bit D7 in the Configuration register, at
address 09h) after successfully 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 STATUS REGISTER,
at address 02h, 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.
10130331
FIGURE 3. ALERT Comparator Temperature Response
Diagram
1.2.2 ALERT Output as an Interrupt
The LM86’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 undesirable for the interrupt flag
to repeatedly trigger during or before the interrupt service
routine has been completed. Under this method of operation,
during a read of the STATUS REGISTER the LM86 will set
the ALERT mask bit (D7 of the Configuration register) if any
bit in the STATUS REGISTER is set, with the exception of
Busy (D7) and OPEN (D2). This prevents further ALERT
triggering until the master has reset the ALERT mask bit, at
the end of the interrupt service routine. The STATUS REGISTER bits are cleared only upon a read command from the
master (see Figure 4) 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, bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and
ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) 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 a interrupt flag:
1. Master Senses ALERT low
2. Master reads the LM86 STATUS REGISTER to determine what caused the ALERT
3. LM86 clears STATUS REGISTER, resets the ALERT
HIGH and sets the ALERT mask bit (D7 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 (D7 in the Configuration
register).

The ARA, 000 1100, is a general call address. No device
should ever be assigned this address.
Bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and ALERT
CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must be set low in order for
the LM86 to respond to the ARA command.
1.4 POWER ON RESET DEFAULT STATES
LM86 always powers up to these known default states. The
LM86 remains in these states until after the first conversion.

2. Local Temperature set to 0˚C
3. Remote Diode Temperature set to 0˚C until the end of
the first conversion.

enabled
6. 85˚C Local and Remote T_CRIT temperature setpoints
The ALERT output can be disabled by setting the ALERT
mask bit, D7, of the Configuration register. The power on
default is to have the ALERT mask bit and the ALERT
configure bit low.

1.5 SMBus INTERFACE
The LM86 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the
SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBData line is bidirectional. The LM86 never drives the SMBCLK line and it
does not support clock stretching. According to SMBus
specifications, the LM86 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits A6
through A0 are internally programmed and can not be
changed by software or hardware.
The complete slave address is:

FIGURE 5. ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT
Temperature Response Diagram
1.3 T_CRIT_A OUTPUT and T_CRIT LIMIT
T_CRIT_A is activated when any temperature reading is
greater than the limit preset in the critical temperature setpoint register (T_CRIT), as shown in Figure 6. The Status
Register can be read to determine which event caused the
alarm. A bit in the Status Register is set high to indicate
which temperature reading exceeded the T_CRIT setpoint
temperature and caused the alarm, see Section 2.3.
Local and remote temperature diodes are sampled in sequence by the A/D converter. The T_CRIT_A output and the
Status Register flags are updated after every Local and
Remote temperature conversion. T_CRT_A follows the state
of the comparison, it is reset when the temperature falls
below the setpoint RCS-TH. The Status Register flags are

1.6 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data can only be read from the Local and

(T_CRIT, LOW, HIGH) are read/write.
Remote temperature data is represented by an 11-bit, two’s
complement word with an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal
to 0.125˚C. The data format is a left justified 16-bit word

In the event that the D+ pin is shorted to ground or D−, the
Remote Temperature High Byte (RTHB) register is loaded
with −128˚C (1000 0000) and the OPEN bit (D2) in the status
register will not be set. Since operating the LM86 at −128˚C
is beyond it’s operational limits, this temperature reading
represents this shorted fault condition. If the value in the
Remote Low Setpoint High Byte Register (RLSHB) is more
than −128˚C and the Alert Mask is disabled, ALERT will be
pulled low.

Remote diode temperature sensors that have been previously released and are competitive with the LM86 output a
code of 0˚C if the external diode is short-circuited. This
change is an improvement that allows a reading of 0˚C to be
truly interpreted as a genuine 0˚C reading and not a fault
condition.

The data registers in the LM86 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 LM86 falls into one of four types

4. Read/Write different address
A Write to the LM86 will always include the address byte and
the command byte. A write to any register requires one data
byte.
1.7 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS
The SMBData, ALERT and T_CRIT_A outputs are opendrain 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 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. This will minimize any internal temperature reading
errors due to internal heating of the LM86. The maximum
resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based
on LM86 specification for High Level Output Current with the
supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82kΩ(5%) or 88.7kΩ(1%).
Reading the LM86 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 LM86), 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 LM86 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 LM86 31.25ms to measure the temperature of the remote diode and internal diode. When retrieving all 10 bits from a previous remote diode temperature
measurement, the master must insure that all 10 bits are
from the same temperature conversion. This may be
achieved by using one-shot mode or by setting the conversion rate and monitoring the busy bit such that no conversion
occurs in between reading the MSB and LSB of the last
temperature conversion.
1.8 DIODE FAULT DETECTION
The LM86 is equipped with operational circuitry designed to
detect fault conditions concerning the remote diode. In the
event that the D+ pin is detected as shorted to VDD or
floating, the Remote Temperature High Byte (RTHB) register
is loaded with +127˚C, the Remote Temperature Low Byte
(RTLB) register is loaded with 0, and the OPEN bit (D2) in
the status register is set. As a result, if the Remote T_CRIT
setpoint register (RCS) is set to a value less than +127˚C the
ALERT and T_Crit output pins will be pulled low, if the Alert
Mask and T_Crit Mask are disabled. If the Remote HIGH
Setpoint High Byte Register (RHSHB) is set to a value less

1.10 SERIAL INTERFACE RESET
In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the
LM86 is transmitting on the SMBData line, the LM86 must be
returned to a known state in the communication protocol.
This may be done in one of two ways:
1. When SMBData is LOW, the LM86 SMBus state machine resets to the SMBus idle state if either SMBData
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 SMBData lines are held low for 25-35ms. Therefore, to insure
a timeout of all devices on the bus the SMBCLK or
SMBData lines must be held low for at least 35ms.
When SMBData is HIGH, have the master initiate an
SMBus start. The LM86 will respond properly to an
SMBus start condition at any point during the communication. After the start the LM86 will expect an SMBus
Address address byte.
1.11 DIGITAL FILTER
In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings
due to noise, the LM86 incorporates a user-configured digital
filter. The filter is accessed in the FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER at BFh. The filter can be set according
to the following table.

1.13 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 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.
1.12 Fault Queue
In order to suppress erroneous ALERT or T_CRIT triggering
the LM86 incorporates a Fault Queue. The Fault Queue acts
to insure a remote temperature measurement is genuinely
beyond a HIGH, LOW or T_CRIT setpoint by not triggering
until three consecutive out of limit measurements have been
made, see Figure 10. The fault queue defaults off upon
power-up and may be activated by setting bit D0 in the
Configuration register (09h) to “1”.

pins, its temperature will effectively be that of the printed
circuit board lands and traces soldered to the LM86’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 of the
LM86 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.

T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin
k = 1.38x10−23joules/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
To measure temperature external to the LM86’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 LM86’s temperature. The LM86 has been
optimized to measure the remote diode of a Pentium III
processor as shown in Figure 11. 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.
In the above equation, 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 ration
(N) and measuring the resulting voltage difference, it is
possible to eliminate the IS term. Solving for the forward
voltage difference yields the relationship:
The non-ideality factor, η, is the only other parameter not
accounted for and depends on the diode that is used for
measurement. Since ∆VBE 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 III Intel specifies a ± 1%
variation in η from part to part. As an example, assume a
temperature sensor has an accuracy specification of ± 1˚C at
room temperature of 25 ˚C and the process used to manufacture the diode has a non-ideality variation of ± 1%. The
resulting accuracy of the temperature sensor at room temperature will be:
TACC = ± 1˚C + ( ± 1% of 298 ˚K) = ± 4 ˚C
The additional inaccuracy in the temperature measurement
caused by η, can be eliminated if each temperature sensor is
calibrated with the remote diode that it will be paired with.
The following table shows the variations in non-ideality for a
variety of processors.

3.1.2 Compensating for Diode Non-Ideality

processor. National Semiconductor temperature sensors are
always calibrated to the typical non-ideality of a given processor type. The LM86 is calibrated for the non-ideality of a

sensor calibrated for a particular processor type is used with
a different processor type or a given processor type has a
non-ideality that strays from the typical, errors are introduced. Figure 12 shows the minimum and maximum errors
introduced to a temperature sensor calibrated specifically to
the typical value of the processor type it is connected to. The
errors in this figure are attributed only to the variation in
non-ideality from the typical value. In Figure 13 is a plot of
the errors that result from using a temperature sensor calibrated for a Pentium II, the LM84, with a typical Pentium 4 or
AMD Athlon MP Model 6.

Compensating for an Untargeted Non-Ideality Factor
FIGURE 14.
Temperature errors associated with non-ideality may be reduced in a specific temperature range of concern through
use of the offset registers (11h and 12h). Figure 14 shows
how the offset register may be used to compensate for the
non-ideality errors shown in Figure 13. For the case of
non-ideality=1.008, the offset register was set to −0.5˚C
resulting in the calculated residual error as shown in Figure
www.national.com
14. This offset has resulted in an error of less than 0.05˚C for
the temperatures measured in the critical range between 60
to 100˚C. This method yeilds a first order correction factor.

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 LM86’s GND pin is as
close as possible to the Processors GND associated
with the sense diode.
9. Leakage current between D+ and GND should be kept
to a minimum. One nano-ampere of leakage can cause
as much as 1˚C of error in the diode temperature reading. Keeping the printed circuit board as clean as possible will minimize leakage current.

FIGURE 15. 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 LM86 can cause temperature conversion errors.
Keep in mind that the signal level the LM86 is trying to
measure is in microvolts. The following guidelines should be
followed:
1. Place a 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitor as close
as possible to the VDDpin and the recommended 2.2 nF
capacitor as close as possible to the LM86’s D+ and D−
pins. Make sure the traces to the 2.2nF capacitor are
matched.
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 LM86. 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 LM86’s SMBCLK input. Additional resistance can be
added in series with the SMBData 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 SMBData
and SMBCLK lines.
2.
The recommended 2.2nF diode bypass capacitor actually has a range of TBDpF to 3.3nF. The average temperature accuracy will not degrade. Increasing the capacitance will lower the corner frequency where
differential noise error affects the temperature reading
thus producing a reading that is more stable. Conversely, lowering the capacitance will increase the corner frequency where differential noise error affects the
temperature reading thus producing a reading that is
less stable.
3. Ideally, the LM86 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 1˚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
