LM95245
Precision Remote Diode Digital Temperature Sensor with
TruTherm™ BJT Beta Compensation Technology for 45nm
Process
General Description
The LM95245 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a
2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) interface and
TruTherm technology that can monitor the temperature of a
remote diode as well as its own temperature. The LM95245
can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of
external devices such as microprocessors. TruTherm technology allows the LM95245 to precisely monitor thermal
diodes found in 90 nm and smaller geometry processes. The
LM95245 is specifically targeted for Intel processors on 45nm
process. LM95245 reports temperature in two different formats for +127.875°C/-128°C range and 0°C/255°C range.
The LM95245 T_CRIT and OS outputs are asserted when
either unmasked channel exceeds its programmed 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 T_CRIT and OS pins can be read back from the
status registers via the SMBus interface. All limits have a
shared programmable hysteresis register.
The remote temperature channel of the LM95245 has a programmable digital filter. The LM95245 is targeted for a typical
Intel® processor on a 45 nm, 65 nm or 90nm process, and
has an offset register for maximum flexibility and best accuracy.
The LM95245 has a three-level address pin to connect up to
3 devices to the same SMBus master, that is shared with the
OS output. The LM95245 has a programmable conversion
rate register and a standby mode to save power. One conversion can be triggered in standby mode by writing to the
one-shot register.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
guaranteed to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions 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.
Note 2: Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient when attached to a printed circuit board with 1 oz. foil and no airflow is:
θJA for MSOP-8 package = 210°C/W
Note 3: Human body model (HBM) is a charged 100 pF capacitor discharged into a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model (MM), is a charged 200 pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin. Charged Device Model (CDM) simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an automated
assembler) then rapidly being discharged.
Note 4: 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 the figures below for the LM95245's pins. Care should be taken not to forward bias the parasitic
diodes on pins 2 and 3. Doing so by more than 50 mV may corrupt the temperature measurements. SNP refers to Snap-back device.

Note 5: Reflow temperature profiles are different for packages containing lead (Pb) than for those that do not.
Note 6: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norms at the time of product characterization. The typical specifications are not
guaranteed.
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 LM95245 and the thermal resistance. See (Note 2) for the thermal resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation.
Note 9: The accuracy of the LM95245 is guaranteed when using a typical thermal diode of an Intel processor on a 45 nm process, as selected in the Remote
Diode Model Select register. See typical performance curve for performance with Intel processor on a 65nm or 90nm process.
Note 10: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM95245 can be read at any time without regard to conversion
state (and will yield last conversion result).
Note 11: Quiescent current will not increase substantially when the SMBus is active.
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 LM95245's SMBus state machine, therefore setting
SMBDAT and SMBCLK pins to a high impedance state.

The LM95245 is a temperature sensor that measures Local
and Remote temperature zones. The LM95245 uses a ΔVbe
temperature sensing method. A differential voltage, representing temperature, is digitized using a Sigma-Delta analog
to digital converter. TruTherm BJT (Transistor) Beta Compensation Technology allows the LM95245 to accurately
sense the temperature of a thermal diode found on die fabricated using a sub-micron process. For more information on
TruTherm Technology see Section 3.0 Application Hints. The
LM95245 is compatible with the serial SMBus version 2.0 twowire serial interface.
The LM95245 has OS and TCRIT open-drain digital outputs
that indicate the state of the local and remote temperature
readings when compared to user-programmable limits. If enabled, the local temperature is compared to the user-programmable Local Shared OS and TCRIT Limit Register
(Default Value = 85°C). The comparison result can trigger the
T_CRIT pin and/or the OS pin depending on the settings of
the Local TCRIT Mask and OS Mask bits found in Configuration Register 1. The comparison result can also be read
back from Status Register 1. If enabled, the remote temperature is compared to the user-programmable Remote TCRIT
Limit Register (Default Value = 110°C), and the Remote OS
Limit Register (Default Value = 85°C) values. The comparison
result can trigger the T_CRIT pin and/or the OS pin depending
on the settings of Configuration Register 1. The following table describes the default temperature settings for each measured temperature that triggers T_CRIT and/or OS pins:

1.1 CONVERSION SEQUENCE
In the power-up default state the LM95245 takes a maximum
of 1 second to convert the Local Temperature, Remote Temperature, and to update all of its registers. Only during the
conversion process is the Busy bit (D7) in Status Register 1
(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 Conversion Rate Register (R/
W: 04h/0Ah). When the conversion rate is modified a delay is
inserted between conversions, the actual maximum conversion time remains at 72 ms. Different conversion rates will
cause the LM95245 to draw different amounts of supply current as shown in Figure 1.
The following table describes the limit register mapping to the
T_CRIT and/or OS pins:
Output Pin
Remote
Local
T_CRIT
Remote
TCRIT Limit
Local Shared OS/TCRIT
Limit
OS
Remote OS
Limit
Local Shared OS/TCRIT
Limit
The T_CRIT and OS outputs are open-drain, active low.
The remote temperature readings support a programmable
digital filter. Based on the settings in Configuration Register
2 a digital filter can be turned on to improve the noise performance of the remote temperature as well as to increase the
resolution of the temperature reading. If the filter is enabled
the filtered readings are used for TCRIT and OS comparisons.
The LM95245 may be placed in low power consumption
(Standby) mode by setting the STOP/RUN bit found in Configuration Register 1. In the Standby mode, the LM95245’s
SMBus interface remains active while all circuitry not required
is turned off. In the Standby mode the host can trigger one
round of conversions by writing to the One-Shot Register. The
value written into this register is not kept. Local and Remote
temperatures will be converted once and the T_CRIT and
OS pins will reflect the comparison results based on this set
of conversions results.
All the temperature readings are in 16-bit left-justified word
format. The 10-bit plus sign local temperature reading is contained in two 8-bit registers: Local Temp MSB and Local Temp
LSB Registers. The remote temperature supports both a 13bit unsigned and a 12-bit plus sign format. These readings are
available in their corresponding registers as described in the
30015106

the first conversion
5. Remote OS limit default is 55h (85 °C).

LM95245 Register table. The lower 2-bits of the remote temperature reading will contain temperature information only if
the digital filter is enabled. If the digital filter is disabled, these
two bits will read back 0.
The signed and unsigned remote temperature readings are
available simultaneously in separate registers, therefore allowing both negative temperatures and temperatures 128°C
and above to be measured.
All Limit Registers support unsigned temperature format with
1°C LSb resolution. The Local Shared TCRIT and OS Limit
Register is 7 bits for limits between 0°C and 127°C. The Remote Temperature TCRIT and OS Limit Registers are 8 bits
each for limits between 0°C and 255°C.

1.3 SMBus INTERFACE
The LM95245 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the
SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is bidirectional.
The LM95245 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not
support clock stretching. According to SMBus specifications,
the LM95245 has a 7-bit slave address. Three SMBus addresses can be selected by connecting pin 6 (A0) to either
Low, Mid-Supply or High voltages. The address selection table below shows two sets of possible selections for the
LM95245CIMM and the LM95245CIMM-1.

The OS/A0 pin, after power-up, defaults as an address select
input pin (A0). After power-up, the OS/A0 pin can only be
programmed as an OS output when it is in the “High” state.
Therefore, 4Ch is the only valid slave address that can be
used when the OS/A0 pin is programmed to function as an
OS output. When the OS/A0 pin is programmed to function
as an A0 input the LM95245 will immediately detect the state
of this pin to determine its SMBus slave address. The
LM95245 does not latch the state of the A0 pin when it is
functioning as an input. If the OS/A0 pin is not used it must
be externally connected through hardware to some state, as
shown in the table, in order to guarantee that the proper address is selected and not in an indeterminate state. The OS/
A0 does not have an internal pull-up.
b) Impulse response with input transients less than 4°C
1.4 DIGITAL FILTER
In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings
due to noise, the LM95245 incorporates a digital filter for the
Remote Temperature Channel. The filter is accessed in the
Configuration Register 2, bits D2 (FE1) and D1(FE0). The filter can be set according to the following table.

LM95245
Figure 3 shows the filter in use in a typical Intel processor on
a 45/65/90 nm process system. Note that the two curves have
been purposely offset for clarity. Inserting the filter does not
induce an offset as shown.
LM95245
1.8 OS OUTPUT AND OS LIMIT
The LM95245's OS/A0 pin is selected as an OS digital output
as described in Section 1.3. As an OS pin, it is activated
whenever the local and/or remote temperature conversion is
above the limits defined by the Limit registers. If the remote
temperature exceeds the value in the Remote OS Limit Register the Status Bit for Remote OS (ROS) in Status Register
1 is set to 1. In the same way if the local temperature exceeds
the value in the Local Shared OS and TCRIT Limit Register
the Status Bit for the Shared Local OS and TCRIT (LOC) bit
in Status Register 1 is set to 1. The state of the T_CRIT pin
output will return to the HIGH state when both the Local and
Remote temperatures are below the values programmed into
the Limit Registers less the value in the Common Hysteresis
Register. The OS output and the Status Register flags are
updated after every Local and Remote temperature conversion. See Figure 5.

1.6 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
LM95245. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide
a 2.1V high level, based on LM95245 specification for High
Level Output Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is
82 kΩ (5%) or 88.7 kΩ (1%).
1.7 T_CRIT OUTPUT AND TCRIT LIMIT
The LM95245's T_CRIT pin is an active-low open-drain output that is triggered when the local and/or the remote temperature conversion is above the limits defined by the Remote
and/or Local Limit registers. The state of the T_CRIT pin will
return to the HIGH state when both the Local and Remote
temperatures are below the values programmed into the Limit
Registers less the value in the Common Hysteresis Register.
Additionally, if the remote temperature exceeds the value in
the Remote TCRIT Limit Register the Status Bit for Remote
TCRIT (RTCRIT), in Status Register 1, is set to 1. In the same
way if the local temperature exceeds the value in the Local
Shared OS and TCRIT Limit Register the Status Bit for the
Shared Local OS and TCRIT (LOC) bit in Status Register 1 is
set to 1.The T_CRIT output and the Status Register flags are
updated after every Local and Remote temperature conversion. See Figure 4

FIGURE 5. OS Temperature Response Diagram
1.9 DIODE FAULT DETECTION
The LM95245 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, VDD or
D+ is floating, the Remote Temperature reading is –
128.000 °C if signed format is selected and +255.875 °C if
unsigned format is selected. In addition, the Status Register
1 bit D2 is set.

LM95245
The data registers in the LM95245 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 LM95245 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 LM95245 will always include the address byte
and the command byte. A write to any register requires one
data byte.
Reading the LM95245 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 LM95245), 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 LM95245 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
www.national.com
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.
1.11 SERIAL INTERFACE RESET
In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the
LM95245 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the LM95245
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 LM95245 SMBus state
machine resets to the SMBus idle state if either SMBDAT
or SMBCLK are held low for more than 35 ms (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 - 35 ms. Therefore, to
insure a timeout of all devices on the bus the SMBCLK
or SMBDAT lines must be held low for at least 35 ms.
2. When SMBDAT is HIGH, have the master initiate an
SMBus start. The LM95245 will respond properly to an
SMBus start condition at any point during the
communication. After the start the LM95245 will expect
an SMBus Address address byte.
1.12 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.
14
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. POR means Power-On Reset.

The LM95245 has been optimized to measure the remote
thermal diode integrated in a typical Intel processor on
45 nm, 65 nm or 90 nm process. Using the Remote Diode
Model Select register the remote inputs must be assigned to
sense a typical Intel processor on 45nm, 65 nm or 90 nm process.
3.0 Applications Hints
The LM95245 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 LM95245'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 LM95245 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 LM95245'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 LM95245'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. Accuracy using the MMBT3904 is not guaranteed.
For applications requiring the use of the MMBT3904 use the
LM95235.
The LM95245's BJT Beta Compensation TruTherm technology allows accurate sensing of integrated thermal diodes,
such as those found on most processors.

FIGURE 7. Thermal Diode Current Paths
In the active region, the -1 term is negligible and may be eliminated, yielding the following equation
3.1.2 Calculating Total System Accuracy
The voltage seen by the LM95245 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. Intel thermal
diode specifications for processors on 45nm process were not
available at the publication of this document, therefore following examples will use the 65nm thermal diode specifications. For the for Intel processor on 65nm 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 non-ideality variation of +1.19%/−0.27%.
The resulting system accuracy of the processor temperature
being sensed will be:
(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:
TACC = + 1.0°C + (+4.06% of 353 K) = +15.3 °C
and
(4)
TACC = - 1.0°C + (−0.89% of 353 K) = −4.1 °C
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 7 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 (BJT) equation,
Equation 5, which is a more accurate representation of the
topology of the thermal diode found in an FPGA or processor.
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 Pentium 4 processor on
90 nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm
technology improves to:
TACC = ±0.75°C + (±0.39% of 353 K) = ± 2.16 °C
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 LM95245 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 LM95245 is simply:
(5)
TruTherm should only be enabled when measuring the temperature of a transistor integrated as shown in the processor
of Figure 7, because Equation 5 only applies to this topology.

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 LM95245 pins.
3. Ideally, the LM95245 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 LM95245'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 LM95245. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common
symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although
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 LM95245'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.
(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
LM95245.

3.2 PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE
30015117
FIGURE 8. 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 LM95245 can cause temperature conversion errors.
Keep in mind that the signal level the LM95245 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 LM95245.
