DESCRIPTION
LM95234 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with
a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) interface
that can very accurately monitor the temperature of
four remote diodes as well as its own temperature
that includes patent pending remote diode
TruTherm™
BJT
beta
compensation
beta
compensation technology. The four remote diodes
can be external devices such as microprocessors,
graphics processors or diode-connected 2N3904s.
The LM95234's TruTherm BJT beta compensation
technology allows sensing of 90 nm or 65 nm process
thermal diodes accurately.
The LM95234 reports temperature in two different
formats for +127.875°C/–128°C range and 0°C/255°C
range. The LM95234 TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3
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. Mask registers are available for further
control of the TCRIT outputs.
Two LM95234 remote temperature channels have
programmable digital filters while the other two
remote channels utilize a fault-queue to minimize
unwanted TCRIT events when temperature spikes
are encountered.
For optimum flexibility and accuracy, each LM95234
channel includes registers for sub-micron process or
2N3904 diode model selection as well as offset
correction. A three-level address pin allows
connection of up to 3 LM95234s to the same SMBus
master. The LM95234 includes power saving
functions such as: programmable conversion rate,
shutdown mode, and disabling of unused channels.

apply when operating the device beyond its rated operating conditions.
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 Table 1 for the LM95234's pins.

Typicals are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Limits are specified to Texas Instruments' AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
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 LM95234 and the thermal resistance.
Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient when attached to a 4 layer printed circuit board per JEDEC standard JESD51-7:
(a) 14-lead WSON = 90°C/W (no thermal vias, no airflow)
(b) 14-lead WSON = 63°C/W (1 thermal via, no airflow)
(c) 14-lead WSON = 43°C/W (6 thermal vias, no airflow)
(d) 14-lead WSON = 31°C/W (6 thermal vias, 900 ln. ft. / min. airflow)
Note: all quoted values include +15% error factor from nominal value.
The accuracy of the LM95234CISD is ensured when using a typical thermal diode of an Intel processor on a 65 nm process or an
MMBT3904 diode-connected transistor, as selected in the Remote Diode Model Select register. See typical performance curve for
performance with Intel processor on a 90 nm process. For further information on other thermal diodes see DIODE NON-IDEALITY or
www.ti.com.
This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM95234 can be read at any time without
regard to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result).
Quiescent current will not increase substantially with an SMBus communication.

SNIS136D – AUGUST 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2013
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
LM95234 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) interface that
can monitor the temperature of four remote diodes as well as its own temperature. The LM95234 can be used to
very accurately monitor the temperature of up to four external devices such as microprocessors, graphics
processors or diode-connected 2N3904 transistor. The LM95234 includes TruTherm BJT beta compensation
technology that allows sensing of Intel processors 90 nm or 65 nm process thermal diodes accurately.
The LM95234 reports temperature in two different formats for +127.875°C/–128°C range and 0°C/255°C range.
The LM95234 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 LM95234 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. The LM95234 contains a diode model selection register that includes
bits for each channel that select between thermal diodes of Intel processors on 65 nm process or 2N3904s. For
maximum flexibility and best accuracy the LM95234 includes offset registers that allow calibration of other diode
types.
Diode fault detection circuitry in the LM95234 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 LM95234 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. Two of the remote channels have two separate
limits each that control the TCRIT1 and TCRIT2 pins. The remaining two channels and the local channel each
have one limit to control both 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 1 and 2 temperature channels have programmable digital filters while the other two remote
temperature channels utilize a fault-queue in order to avoid false triggering the TCRIT pins.
LM95234 has a three-level address pin to connect up to 3 devices to the same SMBus master. LM95234 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.
LM95234 can be programmed to turn off unused channels for more power savings.
The LM95234 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 LM95234 takes approximately 190 ms to convert the Local Temperature, Remote Temperatures 1 through
4, 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 190 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 LM95234 to draw different amounts of average
supply current as shown in Figure 8. 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.

SMBus INTERFACE
The LM95234 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBDAT line is
bidirectional. The LM95234 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to
SMBus specifications, the LM95234 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 LM95234 has the following SMBus slave
address:

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION SEQUENCE
Each of the 5 temperature channels of LM95234 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 LM95234.
DIGITAL FILTER
In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings due to noise as well as increase the resolution of
the temperature, the LM95234 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:

Figure 12 shows the filter in use in a typical Intel processor on a 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.
FAULT QUEUE
In order to suppress erroneous TCRIT1,TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 triggering the LM95234 incorporates a Fault Queue
for the unfiltered remote channels 3 and 4. The Fault Queue acts to ensure the remote temperature
measurement of these channels is genuinely beyond the corresponding Tcrit limit by not triggering until three
consecutive out of limit measurements have been made, see Figure 13 for an example. The Fault Queue
defaults on upon power-up. The fault queue for channels 3 and 4 can be turned ON or OFF via bits 0 and 1 of
the Configuration Register. When the fault queue is enabled, the TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3 pins will be
triggered if the temperature is above the Tcrit limit for 3 consecutive conversions and the corresponding mask bit
is 0 in the TCRIT Mask registers. Similarly the temperature needs to be below the Tcrit limit minus the hysteresis
value for three consecutive conversions for the TCRIT1, TRCIT2 and TCRIT3 pins to deactivate.

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 LM95234. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high
level, based on LM95234 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 LM95234'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 LM95234. The maximum
resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based on LM95234 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 ensure 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 LM95234'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 LM95234 is enclosed in
has stable and controlled air flow over the LM95234, as airflow can cause the thermal resistance to change
dramatically.
Tcrit LIMITS AND TCRIT OUTPUTS
Figure 14 describes a simplified diagram of the temperature comparison and status register logic. Logic diagrams
for the TCRIT1, TCRIT2, and TCRIT3 outputs describes a simplified logic diagram of the circuitry associated with
the status registers, mask registers and the TCRIT output pins.

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
Logic diagrams for the TCRIT1, TCRIT2, and TCRIT3 outputs).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 Logic diagrams for the TCRIT1, TCRIT2, and TCRIT3 outputs). 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 14). 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 Logic diagrams for the TCRIT1, TCRIT2, and TCRIT3 outputs). 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 Value 110°C) and Remote 2 Tcrit-2 Limit Register
(Default Value = 85°C). When enabled, the remote temperature 3 is compared to the user programmable
Remote 3 Tcrit Limit Register (Default Value 85°C). 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. The
comparison result can also be read back from the Status Register 2, Status Register 3 and Status Register 4.
The remote temperature 4 operates in a similar manner to remote temperature 3 using its associated user

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 LM95234
The data registers in the LM95234 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 LM95234 falls into one of three types of user accessibility:
1. Read only
2. Write only
3. Write/Read same address
A Write to the LM95234 will always include the address byte and the command byte. A write to any register
requires one data byte.
Reading the LM95234 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 LM95234), 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 LM95234 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 LM95234 190 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 LM95234 is transmitting on the SMBDAT line, the
LM95234 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 LM95234 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 2535ms. 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 LM95234 will respond properly to an
SMBus start condition at any point during the communication. After the start the LM95234 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.
LM95234 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 LM95234 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 LM95234'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 LM95234 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 LM95234'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
LM95234'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 LM95234’s TruTherm BJT beta compensation technology allows accurate sensing of integrated thermal
diodes, such as those found on most processors. With TruTherm technology turned off, the LM95234 can
measure a diode-connected transistor such as the MMBT3904 or the thermal diode found in an AMD processor.
The LM95234 has been optimized to measure the remote thermal diode integrated in a typical Intel processor on
65 nm or 90 nm process or an MMBT3904 transistor. Using the Remote Diode Model Select register any of the
four remote inputs can be optimized for a typical Intel processor on 65 nm or 90 nm process or an MMBT3904.

In Equation 2, η and IS are dependant upon the process that was used in the fabrication of the particular diode.

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 23 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 BJT beta compensation 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.

Calculating Total System Accuracy
The voltage seen by the LM95234 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 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 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:
TACC = + 1.0°C + (+4.06% of 353 K) = +15.3 °C
(6)
TACC = - 1.0°C + (−0.89% of 353 K) = −4.1 °C
(7)
and
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
Intel processor on 90 nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm BJT beta compensation
technology improves to:
TACC = ±0.75°C + (±0.39% of 353 K) = ± 2.16 °C
(8)
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 LM95234 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 LM95234 is simply:
ºC ·
§
TER = ¨0.62 : ¸ x RPCB
©
¹
(9)
Solving Equation 9 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 9 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 LM95234.

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. Texas Instruments temperature sensors are always calibrated to the typical non-ideality and
series resistance of a given processor type. The LM95234 is calibrated for two non-ideality factors and series
resistance values thus supporting the MMBT3904 transistor and Intel processors on 65 nm process without the
requirement for additional trims. For most accurate measurements TruTherm BJT beta compensation mode
should be turned on when measuring the Intel processor on 65 nm process to minimize the error introduced by
the false non-ideality spread (see 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
LM95234.
TCF =

where
•
•
•
ηS = LM95234 non-ideality for accuracy specification
ηPROCESSOR = Processor thermal diode typical non-ideality
TCR = center of the temperature range of interest in °C
(10)
The correction factor should be directly added to the temperature reading produced by the LM95234. For
example when using the LM95234, with the 3904 mode selected, 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:
TCF =
§1.003 - 1.008 · ˜ (80 + 273) = -1.75oC
© 1.003 ¹
(11)
Therefore, 1.75°C should be subtracted from the temperature readings of the LM95234 to compensate for the
differing typical non-ideality target.

PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE
Figure 24. 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 LM95234 can cause temperature
conversion errors. Keep in mind that the signal level the LM95234 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 LM95234.
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 LM95234
pins.
3. Ideally, the LM95234 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 LM95234'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
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 LM95234. 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 LM95234'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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
