LM77 9-Bit + Sign Digital Temperature Sensor and Thermal Window Comparator with
Two-Wire Interface
Check for Samples: LM77
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The LM77 is a digital temperature sensor and thermal
window comparator with an I2C Serial Bus interface.
The window-comparator architecture of the LM77
eases the design of temperature control systems
conforming to the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power
Interface)
specification
for
personal
computers. The open-drain Interrupt (INT) output
becomes active whenever temperature goes outside
a programmable window, while a separate Critical
Temperature Alarm (T_CRIT_A) output becomes
active
when
the
temperature
exceeds
a
programmable critical limit. The INT output can
operate in either a comparator or event mode, while
the T_CRIT_A output operates in comparator mode
only.

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.

LM77 θJA (thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient) when attached to a printed circuit board with 2 oz. foil is: 200°C/W for the SOIC-8
(D0008A) package, 250°C/W for the VSSOP-8 (DGK0008A) package.
While the LM77 has a full-scale-range in excess of 128°C, prolonged operation at temperatures above 125°C is not recommended.
Both part numbers of the LM77 will operate properly over the +VS supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V . The devices are tested and
specified for rated accuracy at their nominal supply voltage. Accuracy will typically degrade 1°C/V of variation in +VS as it varies from
the nominal value.

This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM77 can be read at any time without regard
to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result). If a conversion is in process it will be interrupted and restarted after the end of
the read.
Hysteresis value adds to the TLOW setpoint value (e.g.: if TLOW setpoint = 10°C, and hysteresis = 2°C, then actual hysteresis point is
10+2 = 12°C); and subtracts from the THIGH and T_CRIT setpoints (e.g.: if THIGH setpoint = 64°C, and hysteresis = 2°C, then actual
hysteresis point is 64−2 = 62°C). For a detailed discussion of the function of hysteresis refer to Section 1.1, TEMPERATURE
COMPARISON, and Figure 7.

SNIS103F – JUNE 1999 – REVISED MARCH 2013
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LM77 temperature sensor incorporates a band-gap type temperature sensor, 10-bit ADC, and a digital
comparator with user-programmable upper and lower limit values. The comparator activates either the INT line
for temperatures outside the TLOW and THIGH window, or the T_CRIT_A line for temperatures which exceed
T_CRIT. The lines are programmable for mode and polarity.
TEMPERATURE COMPARISON
LM77 provides a window comparison against a lower (TLOW) and upper (THIGH) trip point. A second upper trip
point (T_CRIT) functions as a critical alarm shutdown. Figure 7 depicts the comparison function as well as the
modes of operation.
Status Bits
The internal Status bits operate as follows:
“True”: Temperature above a THIGH or T_CRIT is “true” for those respective bits. A “true” for TLOW is
temperature below TLOW.
“False”: Assuming temperature has previously crossed above THIGH or T_CRIT, then the temperature must
drop below the points corresponding THYST(THIGH − THYST or T_CRIT − THYST) in order for the condition to be
false. For TLOW, assuming temperature has previously crossed below TLOW, a “false” occurs when temperature
goes above TLOW + THYST.
The Status bits are not affected by reads or any other actions, and always represent the state of temperature vs.
setpoints.
Hardwire Outputs
The T_CRIT_A hardwire output mirrors the T_CRIT_A flag unless the part is read. When the flag is true, the
T_CRIT_A output is asserted regardless of Interrupt Mode. Reading the LM77 resets the T_CRIT_A output until
the internal conversion is completed. In a typical system, T_CRIT_A is used to immediately shutdown or reset
the system. Thus, once T_CRIT_A asserts the system normally would not be reading the LM77 via the I2C bus.
The behavior of the INT hardwire output is as follows:
Comparator Interrupt Mode (Default): User reading part resets output until next measurement completes. If
condition is still true, output is set again at end of next conversion cycle. For example, if a user never reads the
part, and temperature goes below TLOW then INT becomes active. It would stay that way until temperature goes
above TLOW + THYST. However if the user reads the part, the output would be reset. At the end of the next
conversion cycle, if the condition is true, it is set again. If not, it remains reset.
Event Interrupt Mode: User reading part resets output until next condition "event" occurs (in other words,
output is only set once for a true condition, if reset by a read, it remains reset until the next triggering threshold
has been crossed). Conversely, if a user never read the part, the output would stay set indefinitely after the first
event that set the output. An “event” for Event Interrupt Mode is defined as:
1. Transitioning upward (downward) across a setpoint, or
2. Transitioning downward (upward) across a setpoint's corresponding hysteresis (after having exceeded that
setpoint).
For example, if a user never read the part, and temperature went below TLOW then INT would become active. It
would stay that way forever if a user never read the part.
However if the user read the part, the output would be reset. Even if the condition is true, it will remain reset. The
temperature must cross above TLOW + THYST to set the output again.
In either mode, reading any register in the LM77 restarts the conversion. This allows a designer to know exactly
when the LM77 begins a comparison. This prevents unnecessary Interrupts just after reprogramming setpoints.
Typically, system Interrupt inputs are masked prior to reprogramming trip points. By doing a read just after
resetting trip points, but prior to unmasking, unexpected Interrupts are prevented.

Avoid programming setpoints so close that their hysteresis values overlap. An example would be that with a
THYST value of 2°C then setting THIGH and TLOW to within 4°C of each other will violate this restriction. To be more
specific, with THYST set to 2°C assume THIGH set to 64°C. If TLOW is set equal to, or higher than 60°C this
restriction is violated.
DEFAULT SETTINGS
The LM77 always powers up in a known state. LM77 power up default conditions are:
1. Comparator Interrupt Mode
2. TLOW set to 10°C
3. THIGH set to 64°C
4. T_CRIT set to 80°C
5. THYST set to 2°C
6. INT and T_CRIT_A active low
7. Pointer set to “00”; Temperature Register
The LM77 registers will always reset to these default values when the power supply voltage is brought up from
zero volts as the supply crosses the voltage level plotted in the following curve. The LM77 registers will reset
again when the power supply drops below the voltage plotted in this curve.
Average Power on Reset Voltage vs Temperature
Figure 6.
SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
The LM77 operates as a slave on the Serial Bus, so the SCL line is an input (no clock is generated by the LM77)
and the SDA line is a bi-directional serial data line. According to Serial Bus specifications, the LM77 has a 7-bit
slave address. The five most significant bits of the slave address are hard wired inside the LM77 and are
“10010”. The two least significant bits of the address are assigned to pins A1–A0, and are set by connecting
these pins to ground for a low, (0); or to +VS for a high, (1).
Therefore, the complete slave address is:

Note: Event Interrupt mode is drawn as if the user is reading the part. If the user doesn't read, the outputs would go
low and stay that way until the LM77 is read.

TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data can be read from the Temperature and Set Point registers; and written to the Set Point
registers. Temperature data can be read at any time, although reading faster than the conversion time of the
LM77 will prevent data from being updated. Temperature data is represented by a 10-bit, two's complement word
with an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to 0.5°C:

SHUTDOWN MODE
Shutdown mode is enabled by setting the shutdown bit in the Configuration register via the Serial Bus. Shutdown
mode reduces power supply current to 5 μA typical. T_CRIT_A is reset if previously set. Since conversions are
stoped during shutdown, T_CRIT_A and INT will not be operational. The Serial Bus interface remains active.
Activity on the clock and data lines of the Serial Bus may slightly increase shutdown mode quiescent current.
Registers can be read from and written to in shutdown mode. The LM77 takes miliseconds to respond to the
shutdown command.
INT AND T_CRIT_A OUTPUT
The 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 provided 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 errors due to internal heating of the LM77. The maximum allowable resistance
of the pull up resistor is 90K Ohms based on the Logic “1” Output Leakage Current and a 2 volt high output level.
FAULT QUEUE
A fault queue of up to 4 faults is provided to prevent false tripping when the LM77 is used in noisy environments.
The 4 faults must occur consecutively to set flags as well as INT and T_CRIT_A outputs. The fault queue is
enabled by setting bit 4 of the Configuration Register high (see Table 3).
INTERNAL REGISTER STRUCTURE
Figure 8.
The data registers in the LM77 are selected by the Pointer register. At power-up the Pointer is set to “00”; the
location for the Temperature Register. The Pointer register latches the last location it was set to. In Comparator
Interrupt Mode, a read from the LM77 resets the INT output. Placing the device in Shutdown mode resets the
INT and T_CRIT_A outputs. All registers are read and write, except the Temperature register which is read only.
A write to the LM77 will always include the address byte and the Pointer byte. A write to the Configuration
register requires one data byte, while the TLOW, THIGH, and T_CRIT registers require two data bytes.

SNIS103F – JUNE 1999 – REVISED MARCH 2013
Reading the LM77 can take place either of two ways: If the location latched in the Pointer is correct (most of the
time it is expected that the Pointer will point to the Temperature register because it will be the data most
frequently read from the LM77), then the read can simply consist of an address byte, followed by retrieving the
corresponding number of data bytes. If the Pointer needs to be set, then an address byte, pointer byte, repeat
start, and another address byte plus required number of data bytes will accomplish a read.
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 the temperature condition. For instance, if the first four bits of the temperature
data indicates a critical condition, the host processor could immediately take action to remedy the excessive
temperature. At the end of a read, the LM77 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).
An inadvertent 8-bit read from a 16-bit register, with the D7 bit low, can cause the LM77 to stop in a state where
the SDA line is held low as shown in Figure 9. This can prevent any further bus communication until at least 9
additional clock cycles have occurred. Alternatively, the master can issue clock cycles until SDA goes high, at
which time issuing a “Stop” condition will reset the LM77.

Application Hints
The temperature response graph in Figure 16 depicts a typical application designed to meet ACPI requirements.
In this type of application, the temperature scale is given an arbitrary value of "granularity", or the window within
which temperature notification events should occur. The LM77 can be programmed to the window size chosen by
the designer, and will issue interrupts to the processor whenever the window limits have been crossed. The
internal flags permit quick determination of whether the temperature is rising or falling.
The T_CRIT limit would typically use its separate output to activate hardware shutdown circuitry separate from
the processor. This is done because it is expected that if temperature has gotten this high that the processor may
not be responding. The separate circuitry can then shut down the system, usually by shutting down the power
supply.
Note that the INT and T_CRIT_A outputs are separate, but can be wire-or'd together. Alternatively the T_CRIT_A
can be diode or'd to the INT line in such a way that a T_CRIT_A event activates the INT line, but an INT event
does not activate the T_CRIT_A line. This may be useful in the event that it is desirable to notify both the
processor and separate T_CRIT_A shutdown circuitry of a critical temperature alarm at the same time (maybe
the processor is still working and can coordinate a graceful shutdown with the separate shutdown circuit).
To implement ACPI compatible sensing it is necessary to sense whenever the temperature goes outside the
window, issue an interrupt, service the interrupt, and reprogram the window according to the desired granularity
of the temperature scale. The reprogrammed window will now have the current temperature inside it, ready to
issue an interrupt whenever the temperature deviates from the current window.
To understand this graph, assume that at the left hand side the system is at some nominal temperature. For the
1st event temperature rises above the upper window limit, THIGH, causing INT to go active. The system responds
to the interrupt by querying the LM77's status bits and determines that THIGH was exceeded, indicating that
temperature is rising. The system then reprograms the temperature limits to a value higher by an amount equal
to the desired granularity. Note that in Event Interrupt Mode, reprogramming the limits has caused a second,
known, interrupt to be issued since temperature has been returned within the window. In Comparator Interrupt
Mode, the LM77 simply stops issuing interrupts.
The 2nd event is another identical rise in temperature. The 3rd event is typical of a drop in temperature. This is
one of the conditions that demonstrates the power of the LM77, as the user receives notification that a lower limit
is exceeded in such a way that temperature is dropping.

The Critical Alarm Event activates the separate T_CRIT_A output. Typically, this would feed circuitry separate
from the processor on the assumption that if the system reached this temperature, the processor might not be
responding.
Note: Event Interrupt mode is drawn as if the user is reading the part. If the user doesn't read, the outputs would go
low and stay that way until the LM77 is read.

By powering the LM77 from auxilary output of the power supply, a non-functioning overheated computer can be
powered down to preserve as much of the system as possible.
