LM95241 Dual Remote Diode Temperature Sensor with SMBus Interface and TruThermTM Technology (65nm/90nm) Remote temperature readings without digital filtering: General Description The LM95241 is a precision dual remote diode temperature sensor (RDTS) that uses National's TruTherm technology. The 2-wire serial interface of the LM95241 is compatible with SMBus 2.0. The LM95241 can sense three temperature zones, it can measure the temperature of its own die as well as two diode connected transistors. The LM95241 includes digital filtering and an advanced input stage that includes analog filtering and TruTherm technology that reduces processor-to-processor non-ideality 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 such as 90nm and 65nm. The LM95241 supports user selectable thermal diode non-ideality of either Intel processor on 90nm or 65nm process or 2N3904. The LM95241 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 LM95241 remote diode readings can resolve temperatures above 127C. Local temperature readings have a resolution of 9-bits plus sign.

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: 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 LM95241's pins. Care should be taken not to forward bias the parasitic diode, D1, present on pins: D1+, D2+, D1-, D2-. Doing so by more than 50 mV may corrupt the temperature measurements.

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 = 25C 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 LM95241 and the thermal resistance. See (Note 3) for the thermal resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation. Note 9: The accuracy of the LM95241CIMM 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 90nm process. Note 10: Quiescent current will not increase substantially when the SMBus is active. Note 11: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM95241 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(1)min + 0.15V). Note 14: Holding the SMBDAT and/or SMBCLK lines Low for a time interval greater than tTIMEOUT will reset the LM95241's SMBus state machine, therefore setting SMBDAT and SMBCLK pins to a high impedance state. www.national.com 6 Intel Processor on 65nm Process or 90nm Process Thermal Thermal Diode Capacitor or PCB Leakage Current Effect Diode Performance Comparison Remote Diode Temperature Reading 20199704 20199705 Remote Temperature Reading Sensitivity to Thermal Diode Conversion Rate Effect on Average Power Supply Current Filter Capacitance 20199706 20199707 7 www.national.com LM95241 Typical Performance Characteristics LM95241 1.0 Functional Description 8. The LM95241 is a digital sensor that can sense the temperature of 3 thermal zones using a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter. It can measure its local die temperature and the temperature of two external transistor junctions using a Vbe temperature sensing method. The LM95241 can support two external transistor types, a Intel processor on 65nm or 90mn process thermal diode or a 2N3904 diode connected transistor. The transistor type is register programmable and does not require software intervention after initialization. The LM95241 has an advanced input stage using National Semiconductor's TruTherm technology that reduces the spread in non-ideality found in Intel processors on 65nm or 90nm process. Internal analog filtering has been included in the thermal diode input stage thus minimizing the need for external thermal diode filter capacitors. In addition a digital filter has been added. These noise immunity improvements in the analog input stage along with the digital filtering will allow longer trace tracks or cabling to the thermal diode than previous thermal diode sensor devices. The 2-wire serial interface, of the LM95241, is compatible with SMBus 2.0 and I2C(R). Please see the SMBus 2.0 specification for a detailed description of the differences between the I2C bus and SMBus. The temperature conversion rate is programmable to allow the user to optimize the current consumption of the LM95241 to the system requirements. The LM95241 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 remote diode temperature resolution is variable and depends on whether the digital filter is activated. When the digital filter is active the resolution is thirteen bits and is programmable to 13-bits unsigned or 12-bits plus sign, with a least-significant-bit (LSb) weight for both resolutions of 0.03125C. When the digital filter is inactive the resolution is eleven bits and is programmable to 11-bits unsigned or 10bits plus sign, with a least-significant-bit (LSb) weight for both resolutions of 0.125C. The unsigned resolution allows the remote diodes to sense temperatures above 127C. Local temperature resolution is not programmable and is always 9bits plus sign and has a 0.25C LSb. The LM95241 remote diode temperature accuracy is trimmed for the typical thermal diode of a Intel processor on 65nm or 90nm process or a typical 2N3904 transistor and the accuracy is guaranteed only when using either of these diodes when selected appropriately. TruTherm mode should be enabled when measuring a Intel processor on 65nm or 90nm process and disabled when measuring a 3904 transistor. Diode fault detection circuitry in the LM95241 can detect the presence of a remote diode. The LM95241 register set has an 8-bit data structure and includes: 1. Most-Significant-Byte (MSB) Local Temperature Register 2. Least-Significant-Byte (LSB) Local Temperature Register 3. MSB Remote Temperature 1 Register 4. LSB Remote Temperature 1 Register 5.

Only during the conversion process is the busy bit (D7) in the Status register (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 Configuration Register (03h). When the conversion rate is modified a delay is inserted between conversions, the actual maximum conversion time remains at 88.9 ms. Different conversion rates will cause the LM95241 to draw different amounts of supply current as shown in Figure 1. 20199706 FIGURE 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 LM95241. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based on LM95241 specification for High Level Output Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82k(5%) or 88.7k(1%). Remote temperature data with the digital filter on is represented by a 13-bit, two's complement word or unsigned binary word with an LSb (Least Significant Bit) equal to 0.03125C (1/32C). The data format is a left justified 16-bit word available in two 8-bit registers. Unused bits will always report "0". 9 www.national.com LM95241 13-bit, 2's complement (12-bit plus sign) 1.3 SMBus INTERFACE The LM95241 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is bidirectional. The LM95241 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to SMBus specifications, the LM95241 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits A6 through A0 are internally programmed and cannot be changed by software or hardware. The SMBus slave address is dependent on the LM95241 part number ordered: LM95241 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 LM95241), 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 LM95241 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 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. 1.6 DIODE FAULT DETECTION The LM95241 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 +255.875 if unsigned format is selected. In addition, the appropriate status register bits RD1M or RD2M (D1 or D0) are set. 1.7 COMMUNICATING WITH THE LM95241 The data registers in the LM95241 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 LM95241 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 LM95241 will always include the address byte and the command byte. A write to any register requires one data byte. Reading the LM95241 can take place either of two ways: 20199711 (a) Serial Bus Write to the Internal Command Register 20199710 (b) Serial Bus Write to the internal Command Register followed by a Data Byte www.national.com 10 LM95241 20199712 (c) Serial Bus byte Read from a Register with the internal Command Register preset to desired value. 20199714 (d) Serial Bus Write followed by a Repeat Start and Immediate Read FIGURE 2. SMBus Timing Diagrams for Access of Data 2. 1.8 SERIAL INTERFACE RESET In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the LM95241 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the LM95241 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 LM95241 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 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 LM95241 will respond properly to an SMBus start condition at any point during the communication. After the start the LM95241 will expect an SMBus Address address byte. 1.9 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. 11 www.national.com LM95241 2.0 LM95241 Registers Command register selects which registers will be read from or written to.

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 LM95241'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 LM95241 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 LM95241'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 LM95241'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 a 2N3904 transistor base emitter junction be used with the collector tied to the base. The LM95241's TruTherm technology allows accurate sensing of integrated thermal diodes, such as those found on submicron geometry processors. With TruTherm technology turned off, the LM95241 can measure a diode connected transistor such as the 2N3904 or MMBT3904. The LM95241 has been optimized to measure the remote thermal diode integrated in a Intel processor on 65nm or 90nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. Using the Remote Diode Model Select register either pair of remote inputs can be assigned to measure either a Intel processor on 65nm or 90nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. * * * * q = 1.6x10-19 Coulombs (the electron charge), T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin k = 1.38x10-23joules/K (Boltzmann's constant), 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 (2) In Equation 2, 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 3 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 equation, Equation 5, which is a more accurate representation of the topology of the thermal diode found in an FPGA or processor. 3.1 DIODE NON-IDEALITY 3.1.1 Diode Non-Ideality Factor Effect on Accuracy When a transistor is connected as a diode, the following relationship holds for variables VBE, T and IF: (5) (1) where: 20199743 FIGURE 3. Thermal Diode Current Paths 17 www.national.com LM95241 TruTherm should only be enabled when measuring the temperature of a transistor integrated as shown in the processor of Figure 3, because Equation 5 only applies to this topology. Processor Family 3.1.2 Calculating Total System Accuracy The voltage seen by the LM95241 also includes the IFRS voltage drop of the series resistance. The non-ideality factor, , is the only other parameter not accounted for and depends on the diode that is used for measurement. Since VBE is proportional to both and T, the variations in 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 Pentium D processor on 65nm process, Intel specifies a +4.06%/ -0.89% variation in 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 1.25C at a temperature of 65 C (338 Kelvin) and the processor diode has a non-ideality variation of +4.06%/-0.89%. The resulting system accuracy of the processor temperature being sensed will be: Pentium III CPUID 67h 1 Pentium III CPUID 68h/ PGA370Socket/ Celeron 1.0057 Pentium 4, 423 pin 0.9933 1.0045 1.0368 Pentium 4, 478 pin 0.9933 1.0045 1.0368 Pentium 4 on 0.13 micron process, 2-3.06GHz 1.0011 1.0021 1.0030 3.64 Pentium 4 on 90 nm process 1.0083 1.011 1.023 3.33 Pentium on 65 nm porcess 1.000 1.009 1.050 4.52 Pentium M Processor (Centrino) 1.0015 1.0022 1.0028 3.06 1 0 9 Diode Equation D, non-ideality min TACC = + 1.25C + (+4.06% of 338 K) = +14.97 C and TACC = - 1.25C + (-0.89% of 338 K) = -4.26 C TrueTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 5, resulting in a non-ideality spread that truly reflects the process variation which is very small. The transistor equation non-ideality spread is 0.4% for the Pentium D processor on 65nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm technology improves to: (6) Solving Equation 6 for RPCB equal to 1.73 results in the additional error due to the spread in the series resistance of 1.07C. 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 LM95241.

National Semiconductor temperature sensors are always calibrated to the typical non-ideality and series resistance of a given processor type. The LM95241 is calibrated for two non-ideality factors and series resistance values thus supporting the MMBT3904 transistor and the Intel processor on 65nm or 90nm process without the requirement for additional trims. For most accurate measurements TruTherm mode should be turned on when measuring the Intel processor on the 65nm or 90nm process to minimize the error introduced by the false non-ideality spread (see 3.1.1 Diode Non-Ideality 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 LM95241. TACC = 1.25C + (0.4% of 338 K) = 2.60 C Transistor Equation nD, non-ideality max 1.0065 1.0125 MMBT3904 AMD Sempron 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 the Pentium D processor on 65 nm process, this is specified at 4.52 typical. The LM95241 accommodates the typical series resistance of the Pentium D processor on 65nm process. The error that is not accounted for is the spread of the Pentium's series resistance, that is 2.79 to 6.24 or 1.73. The equation to calculate the temperature error due to series resistance (TER) for the LM95241 is simply: Processor Family typ Series R TCF = [(S-Processor) / S] x (TCR+ 273 K) (7) where * S = LM95241 non-ideality for accuracy specification * T = target thermal diode typical non-ideality * TCR = center of the temperature range of interest in C The correction factor of Equation 7 should be directly added to the temperature reading produced by the LM95233. For example when using the LM95241, with the 3904 mode se- Series R 4.52 18 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 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 LM95241's GND pin is as close as possible to the Processor's GND that is 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 0.2C 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 400mVp-p (typical hysteresis) and undershoot less than 500mV below GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with the LM95241. 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 LM95241'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. TCF=[(1.003-1.008)/1.003]x(80+273) =-1.75C Therefore, 1.75C should be subtracted from the temperature readings of the LM95241 to compensate for the differing typical non-ideality target. 3.2 PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE 20199717 FIGURE 4. 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 LM95241 can cause temperature conversion errors. Keep in mind that the signal level the LM95241 is trying to measure is in microvolts. The following guidelines should be followed: 1. VDD should be bypassed with a 0.1F capacitor in parallel with 100pF. The 100pF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the power supply pin. A bulk capacitance of approximately 10F needs to be in the near vicinity of the LM95241. 2. A 100pF diode bypass capacitor is recommended to filter high frequency noise but may not be necessary. Make sure the traces to the 100pF capacitor are matched. Place the filter capacitors close to the LM95241 pins. 3. Ideally, the LM95241 should be placed within 10cm of the Processor diode pins with the traces being as straight, short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1 can cause as much as 1C of error. This error can be 19 www.national.com LM95241 lected, 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: LM95241 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 8-Lead Molded Mini-Small-Outline Package (MSOP), JEDEC Registration Number MO-187 Order Number LM95241CIMM or LM95241CIMMX NS Package Number MUA08A www.national.com 20 LM95241 Notes 21 www.national.com LM95241 Dual Remote Diode Temperature Sensor with SMBus Interface and TruTherm Technology (65nm/90nm) Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: www.national.com Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH(R) Tools www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Clock and Timing www.national.com/timing Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Data Converters www.national.com/adc Samples www.national.com/samples Interface www.national.com/interface Eval Boards www.national.com/evalboards LVDS www.national.com/lvds Packaging www.national.com/packaging Power Management www.national.com/power Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers Distributors www.national.com/contacts LDOs www.national.com/ldo Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LED Lighting www.national.com/led Feedback/Support www.national.com/feedback Voltage References www.national.com/vref Design Made Easy www.national.com/easy www.national.com/powerwise Applications & Markets www.national.com/solutions Mil/Aero www.national.com/milaero PowerWise(R) Solutions Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors SolarMagicTM www.national.com/solarmagic PLL/VCO www.national.com/wireless www.national.com/training PowerWise(R) Design University THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION ("NATIONAL") PRODUCTS.
