LM82
Remote Diode and Local Digital Temperature Sensor
with Two-Wire Interface
General Description
The LM82 is a digital temperature sensor with a 2 wire serial
interface that senses the voltage and thus the temperature of
a remote diode using a Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital con-
verter with a digital over-temperature detector. The LM82 ac-
curately senses its own temperature as well as the tempera-
ture of external devices, such as Pentium II
®
Processors or
diode connected 2N3904s. The temperature of any ASIC
can be detected using the LM82 as long as a dedicated di-
ode (semiconductor junction) is available on the die. Using
the SMBus interface a host can access the LM82’s registers
at any time. Activation of a T_CRIT_A output occurs when
any temperature is greater than a programmable comparator
limit, T_CRIT. Activation of an INT output occurs when any
temperature is greater than its corresponding programmable
comparator HIGH limit.
The host can program as well as read back the state of the
T_CRIT register and the 2 T_HIGH registers. Three state
logic inputs allow two pins (ADD0, ADD1) to select up to 9
SMBus address locations for the LM82. The sensor powers
up with default thresholds of 127˚C for T_CRIT and all
T_HIGHs. The LM82 is pin for pin and register compatible
with the LM84, Maxim MAX1617 and Analog Devices
ADM1021.
