February 2005 LM95231 TruTherm™ Precision Dual Remote Diode Temperature Sensor with SMBus Interface General Description The LM95231 is a precision dual remote diode temperature sensor (RDTS) that uses National’s 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 nonideality processor to processor 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 in the 90nm process or 2N3904. The LM95231 resolution format for remote temperature readings can be programmed to be 11-bits 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. n Remote temperature readings without digital filtering: — 0.125 ˚C LSb — 10-bits plus sign or 11-bits programmable resolution — 11-bits resolves temperatures above 127 ˚C n Remote temperature readings with digital filtering: — 0.03125 ˚C LSb with filtering — 12-bits plus sign or 13-bits programmable resolution — 13-bits resolves temperatures above 127 ˚C n Local temperature readings: — 0.25 ˚C — 9-bits plus sign n Status register support n Programmable conversion rate allows user optimization of power consumption n Shutdown mode one-shot conversion control n SMBus 2.0 compatible interface, supports TIMEOUT n 8-pin MSOP package Key Specifications j Remote Diode Temperature Accuracy ± 0.75 ˚C (max) ± 2.0 ˚C (max) TA=0˚C to 85˚C, TD=25˚C to 140˚C TA=30˚C to 50˚C, TD=45˚C to 85˚C j Local Temperature Accuracy Features TA=0˚C to 85˚C n Accurately senses die temperature of remote ICs or diode junctions n Uses TruTherm technology for precision “thermal diode” temperature measurement n Thermal diode input stage with analog filtering n Thermal diode digital filtering n Pentium 4 90nm or 2N3904 non-ideality selection n Remote diode fault detection n On-board local temperature sensing ± 3.0 ˚C (max) j Supply Voltage 3.0 V to 3.6 V j Supply Current 2 mA (typ) Applications n Processor/Computer System Thermal Management (e.g. Laptop, Desktop, Workstations, Server) n Electronic Test Equipment n Office Electronics Connection Diagram MSOP-8 20120202 TOP VIEW TruTherm™ is a trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation.

GND 5 Power Supply Ground System low noise ground VDD 6 Positive Supply Voltage Input DC Voltage from 3.0 V to 3.6 V. 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. Noise should be kept below 200 mVp-p, a 10 µF capacitor may be required to achieve this.
