FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
LM95213 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) interface that
can monitor the temperature of two remote diodes as well as its own temperature. The LM95213 can be used to
very accurately monitor the temperature of up to two external devices such as microprocessors, graphics
processors or diode-connected 2N3904 transistor.
The LM95213 reports temperature in two different formats for +127.875°C/–128°C range and 0°C/255°C range.
The LM95213 has a Sigma-Delta ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) core which provides the first level of noise
imunity. For improved performance in a noisy environment the LM95213 includes programmable digital filters for
Remote Diode 1 and 2 temperature readings. When the digital filters are invoked the resolution for Remote Diode
1 and 2 readings increases to 0.03125°C. For maximum flexibility and best accuracy the LM95213 includes offset
registers that allow calibration of other diode types.
Diode fault detection circuitry in the LM95213 can detect the absence or fault state of a remote diode: whether
D+ is shorted to VDD, D- or ground, or whether D+ is floating.
The LM95213 TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 active low outputs are triggered when any unmasked channel
exceeds its corresponding programmable 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 TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 pins can
be read back from the status registers via the SMBus interface. The remote channels have two separate limits
each that control the TCRIT1 and TCRIT2 pins. The TCRIT3 pin shares the limits of the TCRIT2 pin but allows
for different masking options. All limits have a shared programmable hysteresis register.
Remote Diode temperature channels have programmable digital filters in order to avoid false triggering the
TCRIT pins.
LM95213 has a three-level address pin to connect up to 3 devices to the same SMBus master. LM95213 also
has programmable conversion rate register as well as a shutdown mode for power savings. One round of
conversions can be triggered in shutdown mode by writing to the one-shot register through the SMBus interface.
LM95213 can be programmed to turn off unused channels for more power savings.
The LM95213 register set has an 8-bit data structure and includes:
1. Temperature Value Registers with signed format
Most-Significant-Byte (MSB) and Least-Significant-Byte (LSB) Local Temperature
MSB and LSB Remote Temperature 1

CONVERSION SEQUENCE
The LM95213 takes approximately 92 ms to convert the Local Temperature, Remote Temperatures 1 and 2, and
to update all of its registers. These conversions for each thermal diode are addressed in a round robin sequence.
Only during the conversion process the busy bit (D7) in Status register (02h) is high. 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 each round of conversions, the actual time for each round remains at 92 ms
(typical all channels enabled). The time a round takes depends on the number of channels that are on. Different
conversion rates will cause the LM95213 to draw different amounts of average supply current as shown in
Figure 6. This curve assumes all the channels are on. If channels are turned off the average current will drop
since the round robin time will decrease and the shutdown time will increase during each conversion interval.
Figure 6. Conversion Rate Effect on Power Supply Current
POWER-ON-DEFAULT STATES
LM95213 always powers up to these known default states. The LM95213 remains in these states until after the
first conversion.

2. Remote offset for all channels 0°C
3. Configuration: Active converting

SMBus INTERFACE
The LM95213 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is
bidirectional. The LM95213 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to
SMBus specifications, the LM95213 has a 7-bit slave address. Three SMBus device address can be selected by
connecting A0 (pin 6) to either Low, Mid-Supply or High voltages. The LM95213 has the following SMBus slave
address:

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION SEQUENCE
Each of the 3 temperature channels of LM95213 can be turned OFF independent from each other via the
Channel Enable Register. Turning off unused channels will increase the conversion speed in the fastest
conversion speed mode. If the slower conversion speed settings are used, disabling unused channels will reduce
the average power consumption of LM95213.
DIGITAL FILTER
In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings due to noise as well as increase the resolution of
the temperature, the LM95213 incorporates a digital filter for Remote 1 and 2 Temperature Channels. When a
filter is enabled the filtered readings are used for the TCRIT comparisons. There are two possible digital filter
settings that are enabled through the Filter Setting Register at register address 0Fh. The filter for each channel
can be set according to the following table:
R1F[1:0] or R2F[1:0] Filter Setting
0 0 No Filter
0 1 Filter (equivalent to Level 2 filter of the LM86/LM89)
1 0 Reserved
1 1 Enhanced Filter (Filter with transient noise clipping)

TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data can only be read from the Local and Remote Temperature value registers. The data format for
all temperature values is left justified 16-bit word available in two 8-bit registers. Unused bits will always report
"0". All temperature data is clamped and will not roll over when a temperature exceeds full-scale value.
Remote temperature data for all channels can be represented by an 11-bit, two's complement word or unsigned
binary word with an LSb (Least Significant Bit) equal to 0.125°C.

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 LM95213. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high
level, based on LM95213 specification for High Level Output Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82 kΩ
(5%) or 88.7 kΩ(1%).
TCRIT1, TCRIT2, AND TCRIT3 OUTPUTS
The LM95213's TCRIT pins are active-low open-drain outputs and do not include internal pull-up resistors. 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 without effecting the performance of the device receiving the signal. This will
minimize any internal temperature reading errors due to internal heating of the LM95213. The maximum
resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based on LM95213 specification for High Level Output
Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82 kΩ(5%) or 88.7 kΩ(1%). The three TCRIT pins can each sink 6
mA of current and still guarantee a "Logic Low" output voltage of 0.4V. If all three pins are set at maximum
current this will cause a power dissipation of 7.2 mW. This power dissipation combined with a thermal resistance
of 77.8°C/W will cause the LM95213's junction temperature to rise approximately 0.6°C and thus cause the Local
temperature reading to shift. This can only be cancelled out if the environment that the LM95213 is enclosed in
has stable and controlled air flow over the LM95213, as airflow can cause the thermal resistance to change
dramatically.
TCRIT LIMITS AND TCRIT OUTPUTS
Figure 9 describes a simplified diagram of the temperature comparison and status register logic. Figure 10
describes a simplified logic diagram of the circuitry associated with the status registers, mask registers and the

If enabled, local temperature is compared to the user programmable Local Tcrit Limit Register (Default Value =
85°C). The result of this comparison is stored in Status Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4 (see
Figure 9). The comparison result can trigger TCRIT1 pin, TCRIT2 pin or TCRIT3 pin depending on the settings in
the TCRIT1 Mask, TCRIT2 Mask and TCRIT3 Mask Registers (see Figure 10). The comparison result can also
be read back from the Status Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4.
If enabled, remote temperature 1 is compared to the user programmable Remote 1 Tcrit-1 Limit Register (Default
Value 110°C) and Remote 1 Tcrit-2 Limit Register (Default Value = 85°C). The result of this comparison is stored
in Status Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4 (see Figure 9). The comparison result can trigger
TCRIT1 pin, TCRIT2 pin or TCRIT3 pin depending on the settings in the TCRIT1 Mask, TCRIT2 Mask and
TRCIT3 Mask Registers (see Figure 10). The comparison result can also be read back from the Status Register
2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4. The remote temperature 2 operates in a similar manner to remote
temperature 1 using its associated user programmable limit registers: Remote 2 Tcrit-1 Limit Register (Default

The TCRIT response diagram of Figure 11 shows the local temperature interaction with the Tcrit limit and
hysteresis value. As can be seen in the diagram when the local temperature exceeds the Tcrit limit register value
the LTn Status bit is set and the T_CRITn output(s) is/are activated. The Status bit(s) and outputs are not
deactivated until the temperature goes below the value calculated by subtracting the Common Hysteresis value
programmed from the limit. This diagram mainly shows an example function of the hysteresis and is not meant to
show complete function of the possible settings and options of all the TCRIT outputs and limit values.
DIODE FAULT DETECTION
The LM95213 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 0 °C if unsigned format is selected. In
addition, the appropriate status register bits RD1M or RD2M (D1 or D0) are set.
COMMUNICATING WITH THE LM95213
The data registers in the LM95213 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 LM95213 falls into one of three types of user accessibility:
1. Read only
2. Write only
3. Write/Read same address
AWrite to the LM95213 will always include the address byte and the command byte. A write to any register
requires one data byte.
Reading the LM95213 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 LM95213), 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 LM95213 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 LM95213 95 ms (typical, all channels enabled) to measure the temperature of
the remote diodes and internal diode. 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 locked-in.

SERIAL INTERFACE RESET
In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the LM95213 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the
LM95213 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 LM95213 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.
2. When SMBDAT is HIGH, have the master initiate an SMBus start. The LM95213 will respond properly to an
SMBus start condition at any point during the communication. After the start the LM95213 will expect an
SMBus Address address byte.
ONE-SHOT CONVERSION
The One-Shot register is used to initiate a round of conversions and comparisons 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. All the channels that are enabled in the Channel Enable Register will be
converted once and the TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 pins will reflect the comparison results based on this
round of conversion results of the channels that are not masked.
LM95213 Registers
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.

Applications Hints
The LM95213 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 LM95213'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 LM95213 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.

SNIS147A MARCH 2007REVISED MARCH 2013
To measure temperature external to the LM95213's die, incorporates remote diode sensing technology. This
diode can be located on the die of a target IC, allowing measurement of the IC's temperature, independent of the
LM95213'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.
The LM95213 can measure a diode-connected transistor such as the MMBT3904 or the thermal diode found in
an AMD processor or FPGA. The LM95213 has been optimized to measure the remote thermal diode integrated
in a typical MMBT3904 transistor. The offset register can be used to calibrate for other thermal diodes easily.
The LM9513 deos not include TruTherm™ technology that allows sensing of sub-micron geometry process
thermal diodes. For this applicaiton the LM95233 would be better suitted.
The LM95233 has been specifically optimized to measure the remote thermal diode integrated in a typical Intel
processor on 65nm or 90 nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. Using the Remote Diode Model Select
register found in the LM95233 any of the two remote inputs can be optimized for a typical Intel processor on
65nm or 90nm process or an MMBT3904.
DIODE NON-IDEALITY
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:
where
q = 1.6×1019 Coulombs (the electron charge),
T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin
k = 1.38×1023 joules/K (Boltzmann's constant),
ηis 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,ηand ISare 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 ISterm. Solving for the forward voltage difference yields the relationship:
(3)
Solving Equation 3 for temperature yields:

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 16 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.
National invented TruTherm beta cancellation technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 5, which is a
more accurate representation of the topology of the thermal diode found in some sub-micron FPGAs or
processors.
(5)
Figure 16. Thermal Diode Current Paths
TruTherm technology can be found in the LM95233 two channel remote diode sensor that is pin and register
compatible with the LM95213. The LM95213 does not support this technology.
Calculating Total System Accuracy
The voltage seen by the LM95213 also includes the IFRSvoltage 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 ηand T, the variations in ηcannot 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 for Intel processor on 65 nm process, Intel specifies a +4.06%/0.897%
variation in ηfrom 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:
TACC = + 1.0°C + (+4.06% of 353 K) = +15.3 °C
and TACC = - 1.0°C + (0.89% of 353 K) = 4.1 °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 4.52typical. The LM95213 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 2.79to 6.24or ±1.73. The equation to calculate the temperature error
due to series resistance (TER) for the LM95213 is simply:
(6)
Solving Equation 6 for RPCB equal to ±1.73results 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 LM95213.

Compensating for Different Non-Ideality
In order to compensate for the errors introduced by non-ideality, the temperature sensor is calibrated for a
particular processor. National Semiconductor temperature sensors are always calibrated to the typical non-
ideality and series resistance of a given processor type. The LM95213 is calibrated for non-ideality factor and
series resistance values supporting the MMBT3904 transistor without the requirement for additional trims. 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
LM95213.

The correction factor should be directly added to the temperature reading produced by the LM95213. For
example when using the LM95213 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:
(8)
Therefore, 1.75°C should be subtracted from the temperature readings of the LM95213 to compensate for the
differing typical non-ideality target.
PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE
Figure 17. 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 LM95213 can cause temperature
conversion errors. Keep in mind that the signal level the LM95213 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 LM95213.
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 LM95213
pins.
3. Ideally, the LM95213 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 1Ωcan 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 Dlines. 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 Dlines.
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 LM95213'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 Dshould be kept to a minimum. Thirteen
nano-amperes 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 LM95213. 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 LM95213'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.
