LM84 LM84 Diode Input Digital Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface Literature Number: SNIS108B LM84 Diode Input Digital Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface General Description The LM84 is a remote diode temperature sensor, Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converter, and digital over-temperature detector with an SMBus™ interface. The LM84 senses its own temperature as well as the temperature of a target IC with a diode junction, such as a Pentium ® II processor or a diode connected 2N3904. A diode junction (semiconductor junction) is required on the target IC’s die. A host can query the LM84 at any time to read the temperature of this diode as well as the temperature state of the LM84 itself. A T_CRIT_A interrupt output becomes active when the temperature is greater than a programmable comparator limit, T_CRIT. The host can program as well as read back the state of the T_CRIT register. Three state logic inputs allow two pins (ADD0, ADD1) to select up to 9 SMBus address locations for the LM84. The sensor powers up with default thresholds of 127˚C for T_CRIT.

DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device beyond its rated operating conditions. Note 2: When the input voltage (VI) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VI < GND or VI > VCC), 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. Parasitics and or ESD protection circuitry are shown in the figure below for the LM84’s pins. The nominal breakdown voltage of the zener D3 is 6.5V. Care should be taken not to forward bias the parasitic diode, D1, present on pins: NC pins 1,5 and 9, D+, ADD1 and ADD0. Doing so by more than 50 mV may corrupt a temperature or voltage measurement.

Temperature-to-Digital Transfer Function (Non-linear scale for clarity) 1.0 Functional Description The LM84 temperature sensor incorporates a band-gap type temperature sensor using a Local or Remote diode and an 8-bit ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter). The LM84 is compatible with the serial SMBus and I2C interfaces. Digital comparators compare Local and Remote readings to user-programmable setpoints (LT_CRIT and RT_CRIT). Activation of the T_CRIT_A output indicates that a temperature reading is greater than the limit preset in a T_CRIT register. 1.1 T_CRIT_A OUTPUT, T_CRIT LIMITS T_CRIT_A is activated when the Local temperature reading is greater than the limit preset in the local critical temperature setpoint register (LT_CRIT) or when the Remote temperature reading is greater than the limit preset in the remote critical temperature setpoint register (RT_CRIT), as shown in Figure 3. The T_CRIT_A mask bit (bit 7 of the Configuration Register) when set will disable the T_CRIT_A output. DS100961-6 FIGURE 3. T_CRIT_A Temperature Response Diagram 1.2 POWER-ON RESET DEFAULT STATES LM84 always powers up to these known default states: 1. Local Temperature set to 0˚C 2. Remote Temperature set to 0˚C until the LM84 senses a diode present or open circuit on the D+ and D− input pins. 3. Status Register set to 00h. 4. Command Register set to 00h; T_CRIT_A enabled. The Status Register can be read to determine which event caused the alarm. A bit in the Status Register is set high to indicate T_CRIT temperature alarm, see Section 1.8.3. Local and remote temperature diodes are sampled alternately by the A/D converter. The T_CRIT_A output and the Status Register flags are updated at the completion of a conversion, which takes approximately 60 ms. T_CRIT_A and the Status Register flags are reset only after the Status Register is read and if the temperature is below the setpoint. 5. 9 Local and Remote T_CRIT set to 127˚C www.national.com LM84 1.0 Functional Description minimize any local temperature reading errors due to self heating of the LM84. The maximum resistance of the pull-up, based on LM84 specification for High Level Output Current, to provide a 2V high level, is 30 kΩ. (Continued) 1.3 SMBus INTERFACE The LM84 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input (no clock is generated by the LM84) and the SMBData line is bi-directional. According to SMBus specifications, the LM84 has a 7-bit slave address. Bit 4 (A3) of the slave address is hard wired inside the LM84 to a 1. The remainder of the address bits are controlled by the address select pins ADD1 and ADD0, and are set by connecting these pins to ground for a low, (0) , to VCC for a high, (1), or left floating (TRI-LEVEL). Therefore, the complete slave address is: A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 1.6 DIODE FAULT DETECTION Before each remote conversion the LM84 goes through an external diode fault detection sequence. If the D+ input is shorted to VCC or floating then the temperature reading will be +127˚C, bit 2 (OPEN) of the Status Register will be set. If the Remote T_CRIT setpoint is set to less than +127˚C then bit 4 (RTCRIT) of the Status Register will be set which will activate the T_CRIT_A output, if enabled. If D+ is shorted to GND or D−, the temperature reading will be 0˚C and bit 2 of the Status Register will not be set. A0 MSB LSB and is selected as follows: Address Select Pin State ADD0 LM84 SMBus Slave Address ADD1 A6:A0 binary 0 0 001 1000 0 TRI-LEVEL 001 1001 0 1 001 1010 TRI-LEVEL 0 010 1001 TRI-LEVEL TRI-LEVEL 010 1010 TRI-LEVEL 1 010 1011 1 0 100 1100 1 TRI-LEVEL 100 1101 1 1 100 1110 The LM84 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 device on the SMBus will not change the slave address of the LM84. 1.4 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT Temperature data can be read from the Local Temperature, Remote Temperature, and T_CRIT setpoint registers. Temperature data can only be written to the T_CRIT setpoint registers. Temperature data is represented by an 8-bit, two’s complement byte with an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to 1˚C: Temperature Digital Output Binary Hex +125˚C 0111 1101 7Dh +25˚C 0001 1001 19h +1˚C 0000 0001 01h 0˚C 0000 0000 00h −1˚C 1111 1111 FFh −25˚C 1110 0111 E7h −55˚C 1100 1001 C9h 1.5 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS SMBData and T_CRIT_A outputs are open-drain 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 www.national.com 10 LM84 1.0 Functional Description (Continued) 1.7 COMMUNICATING with the LM84 DS100961-9 1.7.1 SMBus TIMEOUT The LM84 SMBus interface circuitry will be reset to the SMBus idle state if the SMBData or SMBCLK lines are held low for more than 40 ms. The LM84 may or may not reset the state SMBData or SMBCLK if either of these lines are held low between 25 ms and 40 ms. Holding SMBData or SMBCLK low for less than or equal to 25 ms will not reset the interface circuitry. The LM84 has a built-in internal timer to guarantee that the interface is reset if the SMBData line were to get stuck low. This can commonly occur when the master is reset while the slave is transmitting low. This enhancement to the SMBus TIMEOUT specification ensures error free performance even in remote systems where complete power supply shutdown, for reset, is a nuisance. This would have to occur since many cost effective temperature sensors such as the LM84 do not have a pin dedicated for reset. There are 10 data registers in the LM84, 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 whatever the last location it was set to. Reading the Status Register resets T_CRIT_A. All registers are predefined as read only or write only. Read and write registers with the same function contain mirrored data. A Write to the LM84 will always include the address byte and the command byte. A write to any register requires one data byte. Reading the LM84 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 LM84), 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 LM84 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). 11 www.national.com LM84 1.0 Functional Description (Continued) 1.8 LM84 REGISTERS 1.8.1 COMMAND REGISTER Selects which registers will be read from or written to.

FIGURE 4. Serial Bus Timing Diagrams 13 www.national.com LM84 3.0 Application Hints The LM84 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 LM84’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 of the LM84 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 LM84’s die, use a remote diode. This diode can be located on the die of a target IC, allowing measurement of the IC’s temperature, independent of the LM84’s temperature. The LM84 has been optimized to measure the remote diode of a Pentium II processor as shown in Figure 5. 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. where: • • q is the electron charge, • k is the Boltzmann’s constant, • N is the current ratio, • T is the absolute temperature in ˚K. The temperature sensor then measures ∆VBE and converts to digital data. In this equation, k and q are well defined universal constants, and N is a parameter controlled by the temperature sensor. The only other parameter is η, which depends on the diode that is used for measurement. Since ∆VBE 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 Pentium II Intel specifies a ± 1% variation in η from part to part. As an example, assume a temperature sensor has an accuracy specification of ± 3˚C at room temperature of 25˚C and the process used to manufacture the diode has a non-ideality variation of ± 1%. The resulting accuracy of the temperature sensor at room temperature will be: TACC = ± 3˚C + ( ± 1% of 298˚K) = ± 6˚C. The additional inaccuracy in the temperature measurement caused by η, can be eliminated if each temperature sensor is calibrated with the remote diode that it will be paired with. 3.2 PCB LAYOUT for MINIMIZING NOISE 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 LM84 can cause temperature conversion errors. The following guidelines should be followed: 1. Place a 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin and the recommended 2.2 nF capacitor as close as possible to the D+ and D− pins. Make sure the traces to the 2.2 nF capacitor are matched. 2. Ideally, the LM84 should be placed within 10 cm of the Processor diode pins with the traces being as straight, short and identical as possible. 3. 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.(See Figure 6) 4. Avoid routing diode traces in close proximity to power supply switching or filtering inductors. 5. 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. 6. 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. DS100961-16 Pentium Temperature vs LM84 Temperature Reading Most silicon diodes do not lend themselves well to this application. It is recommended that a 2N3904 transistor base emitter junction be used with the collector tied to the base. A diode connected 2N3904 approximates the junction available on a Pentium microprocessor for temperature measurement. Therefore, the LM84 can sense the temperature of this diode effectively. 3.1 ACCURACY EFFECTS OF DIODE NON-IDEALITY FACTOR The technique used in today’s remote temperature sensors is to measure the change in VBE at two different operating points of a diode. For a bias current ratio of N:1, this difference is given as: www.national.com η is the non-ideality factor of the process the diode is manufactured on, 14 7. with the sense diode. For the Pentium II this would be pin A14. (Continued) The ideal place to connect the LM84’s GND pin is as close as possible to the Processors GND associated DS100961-15 FIGURE 6. Recommended Diode Trace Layout Noise on the digital lines, overshoot greater than VCC and undershoot less than GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with the LM84. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although, the SMBus maximum frequency of com- munication is rather low (400 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. 4.0 Typical Applications DS100961-17 Using a Diode Connected 2N3904 as a Remote Temperture Sensing Element 15 www.national.com LM84 3.0 Application Hints LM84 Diode Input Digital Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 16-Lead QSOP Package Order Number LM84BIMQA, LM84BIMQAX, LM84CIMQA or LM84CIMQAX NS Package Number MQA16 LIFE SUPPORT POLICY NATIONAL’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
