DESCRIPTION
The LM70 is a temperature sensor, Delta-Sigma
analog-to-digital converter with an SPI and
MICROWIRE compatible interface available in WSON
and VSSOP 8-pin packages. The host can query the
LM70 at any time to read temperature. A shutdown
mode decreases power consumption to less than 10
µA. This mode is useful in systems where low
average power consumption is critical.
The LM70 has 10-bit plus sign temperature resolution
(0.25°C per LSB) while operating over a temperature
range of −55°C to +150°C.
The LM70's 2.65V to 5.5V supply voltage range, low
supply current and simple SPI interface make it ideal
for a wide range of applications. These include
thermal management and protection applications in
hard disk drives, printers, electronic test equipment,
and office electronics.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not
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 > +VS) the current at that pin should be limited to 5
mA. The 20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input
current of 5 mA to four.

Both part numbers of the LM70 will operate properly over the V+ supply voltage range of 2.65V to 5.5V. The temperature error for
temperature ranges of −10°C to +65°C, −40°C to +85°C, −55°C to +125°C and −55°C to +150°C include error induced by power supply
variation of ±5% from the nominal value. Temperature error will increase by ±0.3°C for a power supply voltage (V+) variation of ±10%
from the nominal value.
Typicals are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Limits are guaranteed to AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM70 can be read at any time without regard
to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result). A conversion in progress will not be interrupted. The output shift register will be
updated at the completion of the read and a new conversion restarted.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LM70 temperature sensor incorporates a band-gap type temperature sensor and 10-bit plus sign ΔΣ ADC
(Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter). Compatibility of the LM70's three wire serial interface with SPI and
MICROWIRE allows simple communications with common microcontrollers and processors. Shutdown mode can
be used to optimize current drain for different applications. A manufacture's ID register identifies the LM70 as a
TI product.
POWER UP AND POWER DOWN
The LM70 always powers up in a known state. The power up default condition is continuous conversion mode.
Immediatly after power up the LM70 will output an erroneous code until the first temperature conversion has
completed.
When the supply voltage is less than about 1.6V (typical), the LM70 is considered powered down. As the supply
voltage rises above the nominal 1.6V power up threshold, the internal registers are reset to the power up default
state described above.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
The LM70 operates as a slave and is compatible with SPI or MICROWIRE bus specifications. Data is clocked
out on the falling edge of the serial clock (SC), while data is clocked in on the rising edge of SC. A complete
transmit/receive communication will consist of 32 serial clocks. The first 16 clocks comprise the transmit phase of
communication, while the second 16 clocks are the receive phase.
When CS is high SI/O will be in TRISTATE. Communication should be initiated by taking chip select (CS) low.
This should not be done when SC is changing from a low to high state. Once CS is low the serial I/O pin (SI/O)
will transmit the first bit of data. The master can then read this bit with the rising edge of SC. The remainder of
the data will be clocked out by the falling edge of SC. Once the 14 bits of data (one sign bit, ten temperature bits
and 3 high bits) are transmitted the SI/O line will go into TRI-STATE. CS can be taken high at any time during
the transmit phase. If CS is brought low in the middle of a conversion the LM70 will complete the conversion and
the output shift register will be updated after CS is brought back high.
The receive phase of a communication starts after 16 SC periods. CS can remain low for 32 SC cycles. The
LM70 will read the data available on the SI/O line on the rising edge of the serial clock. Input data is to an 8-bit
shift register. The part will detect the last eight bits shifted into the register. The receive phase can last up to 16
SC periods. All ones must be shifted in order to place the part into shutdown. A zero in any location will take the
LM70 out of shutdown. The following codes only should be transmitted to the LM70:
• 00 hex (normal operation)
• 01 hex (normal operation)
• 03 hex (normal operation)
• 07 hex (normal operation)
• 0F hex (normal operation)
• 1F hex (normal operation)
• 3F hex(normal operation)
• 7F hex(normal operation)
• FF hex (Shutdown, transmit manufacturer's ID)
any others may place the part into a Test Mode. Test Modes are used by TI to thoroughly test the function of the
LM70 during production testing. Only eight bits have been defined above since only the last eight transmitted,
before CS is taken HIGH, are detected by the LM70
The following communication can be used to determine the Manufacturer's/Device ID and then immediately place
the part into continuous conversion mode. With CS continuously low:
• Read 16 bits of temperature data
• Write 16 bits of data commanding shutdown
• Read 16 bits of Manufacture's/Device ID data
• Write 8 to 16 bits of data commanding Conversion Mode
• Take CS HIGH.

Note: The last two bits are TRI-STATE and depicted as one in the table.
The first data byte is the most significant byte with most significant bit first, permitting only as much data as
necessary to be read to determine temperature condition. For instance, if the first four bits of the temperature
data indicate an overtemperature condition, the host processor could immediately take action to remedy the
excessive temperatures.
SHUTDOWN MODE/MANUFACTURER'S ID
Shutdown mode is enabled by writing XX FF to the LM70 as shown in Figure 14c. and discussed in Section 1.2.
The serial bus is still active when the LM70 is in shutdown. Current draw drops to less than 10 µA between serial
communications. When in shutdown mode the LM70 always will output 1000 0001 0000 00XX. This is the
manufacturer's ID/Device ID information. The first 5-bits of the field (1000 0XXX) are reserved for manufacturer's
ID.
INTERNAL REGISTER STRUCTURE
The LM70 has three registers, the temperature register, the configuration register and the manufacturer's/device
identification register. The temperature and manufacturer's/device identification registers are read only. The
configuration register is write only.

LM70 will stop responding as described. These test modes are to be used for production testing only. See

Application Hints
To get the expected results when measuring temperature with an integrated circuit temperature sensor like the
LM70, it is important to understand that the sensor measures its own die temperature. For the LM70, the best
thermal path between the die and the outside world is through the LM70's pins. In the VSSOP-8 package the
ground pin is connected to the back side of the LM70 die and thus has the most effect on the die temperature.
Although the other pins will also have some effect on the LM70die temperature and therefore should not be
discounted. The LM70 will provide an accurate measurement of the temperature of the printed circuit board on
which it is mounted, because the pins represent a good thermal path to the die. A less efficient thermal path
exists between the plastic package and the LM70 die. If the ambient air temperature is significantly different from
the printed circuit board temperature, it will have a small effect on the measured temperature.
In probe-type applications, the LM70 can be mounted inside a sealed-end metal tube, and can then be dipped
into a bath or screwed into a threaded hole in a tank. As with any IC, the LM70 and accompanying wiring and
circuits must be kept insulated and dry, to avoid leakage and corrosion. This is especially true if the circuit may
operate at cold temperatures where condensation can occur. Printed-circuit coatings and varnishes such as
Humiseal and epoxy paints or dips are often used to insure that moisture cannot corrode the LM70 or its
connections.
