3.

Diode 1, Diode 2, and Diode 3 Remote Temperature set
to 0˚C until the LM83 senses a diode present between
the D+ and D− input pins.

4.

Status Registers 1 and 2 set to 00h.

5.

Configuration Register set to 00h; INT enabled and all
T_CRIT setpoints enabled to activate T_CRIT_A.

6.

Local and all Remote T_CRIT set to 127˚C

1.5 SMBus INTERFACE

The LM83 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the
SMBCLK line is an input (no clock is generated by the LM83)
and the SMBData line is bi-directional. According to SMBus
specifications, the LM83 has a 7-bit slave address. Bit 4 (A3)
of the slave address is hard wired inside the LM83 to a 1.
The remainder of the address bits are controlled by the state
of the address select pins ADD1 and ADD0, and are set by
connecting these pins to ground for a low, (0) , to V

CC

for a

high, (1), or left floating (TRI-LEVEL).

Therefore, the complete slave address is:

A6

A5

A4

1

A2

A1

and is selected as follows:

The LM83 latches the state of the address select pins during
the first read or write on the SMBus. Changing the state of
the address select pins after the first read or write to any de-
vice on the SMBus will not change the slave address of the
LM83.

1.6 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT

Temperature data can be read from the Local and Remote
Temperature, T_CRIT, and HIGH setpoint registers; and writ-
ten to the T_CRIT and HIGH setpoint registers. Temperature
data is represented by an 8-bit, two’s complement byte with
an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to 1˚C:

1.7 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS

The SMBData, INT and T_CRIT_A outputs are open-drain
outputs and do not have internal pull-ups. A “high” level will
not be observed on these pins until pull-up current is pro-
vided from 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. This will minimize any internal temperature reading
errors due to internal heating of the LM83. The maximum re-
sistance of the pull up, based on LM83 specification for High
Level Output Current, to provide a 2.1V high level, is 30k

.

1.8 DIODE FAULT DETECTION

Before each external conversion the LM83 goes through an
external diode fault detection sequence. If a D+ input is
shorted to V

CC

or floating then the temperature reading will

be +127 ˚C, and its OPEN bit in the Status Register will be
set. If the T_CRIT setpoint is set to less than +127 ˚C then
the D+ inputs RTCRIT bit in the Status Register will be set
which will activate the T_CRIT_A output, if enabled. If a D+
is shorted to GND or D−, its temperature reading will be 0 ˚C
and its OPEN bit in the Status Register will not be set.
