Description
(continued)
To set fan speed, the LM94 has two PWM outputs that are each controlled by up to six temperature zones. The
fan-control algorithm can be based on a lookup table, PI (proportional/integral) control loop, or a combination of
both. The LM94 includes digital filters that can be invoked to smooth temperature readings for better control of
fan speed such that acoustical noise is minimized. The LM94 has four tachometer inputs to measure fan speed.
Limit and status registers for all measured values are included.
The LM94 builds upon the functionality of previous motherboard server management ASICs, such as the LM93.
It also adds measurement and control support for dynamic Vccp monitoring for VRD10/11 and PROCHOT. It is
designed to monitor a dual processor Xeon class motherboard with a minimum of external components.

Functional Description
The LM94 provides 16 channels of voltage monitoring, 4 remote thermal diode monitors, an internal/local
ambient temperature sensor, 2 PROCHOT monitors, 4 fan tachometers, 8 GPIOs, THERMTRIP monitor for
masking error events, 2 sets of 7 VID inputs, an ALERT output and all the associated limit registers on a single
chip, and communicates to the rest of the baseboard over the System Management Bus (SMBus). The LM94
also provides 2 PWM outputs and associated fan control logic for controlling the speed of system fans. There are
two sets of fan control logic, a lookup table and a PI (proportional/integral) loop controller. The lookup table and
PI controller are interactive, such that the fans run at the fastest required speed. Upon a temperature or fan tach
error event, the PWM outputs may be programmed such that they automatically boost to 100% duty cycle. A
timer is included that sets the minimum time that the fans are in the boost condition when activated by a fan tach
error.
The LM94 incorporates Texas Instruments' TruTherm technology for precision “Remote Diode” readings of
processors on 90nm process geometry or smaller. Readings from the external thermal diodes and the internal
temperature sensor are made available as an 9-bit two's-complement digital value with the LSb representing
0.5°C. Filtered temperature readings are available as a 12-bit two's-complement digital value with the LSb
representing 0.0625°C.
All but 4 of the analog inputs include internal scaling resistors. External scaling resistors are required for
measuring ±12V. The inputs are converted to 8-bit digital values such that a nominal voltage appears at ¾ scale
for positive voltages and ¼ scale for negative voltages. The analog inputs are intended to be connected to both
baseboard resident VRDs and to standard voltage rails supplied by a SSI compliant power supply.
The LM94 has logic that ties a set of dynamically moving VID inputs to their associated Vccp analog input for
real time window comparison fault determination. Voltage mapping for VRD10, VRD10 extended and VRD11are
supported by the LM94. When VRD10 mode is selected GPI8 and GPI9 can be used to detect external error
flags whose state is be reflected in the status registers.
Error events are captured in two sets of mirrored status registers (BMC Error Status Registers and Host Status
Registers) allowing two controllers access to the status information without any interference.
The LM94's ALERT output supports interrupt mode or comparator mode of operation. The comparator mode is
only functional for thermal monitoring.
The LM94 provides a number of internal registers, which are detailed in the Registers section of this document.
MONITORING CYCLE TIME
When the LM94 is powered up, it cycles through each temperature measurement followed by the analog
voltages in sequence, and it continuously loops through the sequence. The total monitoring cycle time is not
more than 100 ms, as this is the time period that most external micro-controllers require to read the register
values.

Each measured value is compared to values stored in the limit registers. When the measured value violates the
programmed limit, a corresponding status bit in the B_Error and H_Error Status Registers is set.
The PROCHOT, tachometer and dynamic VID/Vccp monitoring is performed independently of the analog and
temperature monitoring cycle.
ΣΔ A/D INHERENT AVERAGING
The ΣΔ A/D architecture filters the input signal. During one conversion many samples are taken of the input
voltage and these samples are effectively averaged to give the final result. The output of the ΣΔ A/D is the
average value of the signal during the sampling interval. For a voltage measurement, the samples are
accumulated for 1.5 ms. For a temperature measurement, the samples are accumulated for 8.4 ms.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING
The LM94 remote diode target is the embedded thermal diode found in a Xeon class processor in 90nm
processes but can also work with any Intel based processor in 90nm or 65nm. The LM94 has an advanced
thermal diode input stage using TI's TruTherm technology that reduces the spread in ideality found in sub-micron
geometry thermal diodes. Internal analog filtering has been included in the thermal diode input stage thus
minimizing the need for external thermal diode filter capacitors. In addition a digital filter has been included for
the thermal diode temperature readings.
In some cases instead of using the embedded thermal diode, found on the Xeon processor, a diode connected
2N3904 transistor type can also be used. An example of this would be a MMBT3904 with its collector and base
tied to the thermal diode REMOTE+ pin and the emitter tied to the thermal diode REMOTE− pin. Since the
MMBT3904 is a surface mount device and has very small thermal mass, it measures the board temperature
where it is mounted. The ideality and series resistance varies for different diodes. Therefore the LM94 has
register support to allow calibration selection between a 2N3904 or a Xeon processor. The LM94 is optimized for
typical Intel processors on 90nm or 65nm process or 2N3904 transistor. Other transistor types may used but may
have additional error that can be can be corrected for by programming the appropriate Zone Adjustment Offset
register.
The LM94 acquires temperature data from four different sources:
• 4 external diodes (embedded in a processor or discrete)
• 1 internal diode (internal to the LM94)
• 2 analog temperature sensors, such as the LM60, that are connected to the AD_IN11 or AD_15 pins
• a temperature value can be externally written into an LM94 register from the SMBus.
All of these values, although not necessarily simultaneously, can be used to control fans, compared against
limits, etc.
The temperature value registers are located at addresses 06h-09h, 50h–55h and 10h-23h. The temperature
sources are referred to as “zones” for convenience:

“Remote Diode” TruTherm Mode
The processor “remote thermal diode” is more correctly described as a transistor. The LM93 treated the “remote
diode” as a diode thus introducing inaccuracies. These inaccuracies have become more apparent as the
geometry of processors is shrinking. The LM94 can sense the “remote diode” using a new TruTherm technology
that treats the remote device as a transistor. The TruTherm Mode is more accurate for processors on 90nm and
smaller geometry. The LM94 still supports the old diode method and is callibrated for 2N3904 transistor type.
Temperature Data Format
Most of the temperature data for the LM94 is represented in three formats:
• 8-bit, two's complement byte with the LSb equal to 1.0ºC; this applies to temperature measurements as well
as any temperature limit registers and some configuration registers.

Some fan control configuration registers use four bits and have an unsigned binary format, please see the FAN
CONTROL configuration register descriptions for further details on this 4-bit format.
Thermal Diode Fault Status
The LM94 provides for indications of a fault (open or short circuit) with the remote thermal diodes. Before a
remote diode conversion is updated, the status of the remote diode is checked for an open or short circuit
condition. If such a fault condition occurs, a status bit is set in the status register. A short circuit is defined as the
diode pins connected to each other. When an open or short circuit is detected, the corresponding temperature
register is set to 80h.
EVENT ERRORS FOR FAN BOOST
Temperature boost error and tachometer error events can cause the fan control PWM output(s) to go to full on. A
boost temperature error event will cause both PWM outputs to go to full on, while a tachometer event can be
either bound to PWM1 or PWM2.
A fan boost temperature event occurs if any of the four temperature zones exceeds the temperature Fan Boost
Limit for that zone. Once a temperature has exceed the boost limit, it must drop to a value equal to the boost limit
minus the boost hysteresis before the boost condition is deactivated. The default setting for Zones 1 and 2 is
60°C and for Zones 3 and 4 it is 35°C.
The tachometer error boost function is enabled via the Tachometer Fan Boost Control register. Depending on the
setting of the tachometer to PWM binding bits one or both of the PWM outputs will go to 100% duty cycle upon
the detection of an unmasked Fan Tachometer Error Event. A Fan Tachometer Error event occurs when a
tachometer reading exceeds the value set in it's FAN Tach Limit register. Once the error event ends the PWM
output(s) will remain at 100% duty cycled for a time interval, Tach Boost Timeout, as programmed in the
Tachometer Fan Boost Control register. If the tachometer error event returns during the middle of the timout
interval the Tach Boost Timeout interval will be reset and restart once the error event ends.
VOLTAGE MONITORING
The LM94 contains inputs for monitoring voltages. Scaling is such that the correct value refers to approximately
3/4 scale or 192 decimal on all inputs, except the ±12V. Scaling is accomplished by using internal resistor
dividers, except for the ±12V. The typical input resistance of these inputs is 200 k ohms. Input voltages are
converted by an 8-bit Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) A/D. The Delta-Sigma A/D architecture provides inherent filtering and
spike smoothing of the analog input signal.
The ±12V inputs must be scaled externally. A full scale reading is achieved when 1.236V is applied to these
inputs. For optimum performance the +12V should be scaled to provide a nominal ¾ full scale reading, while the
−12V should be scaled to provide a nominal ¼ scale reading. The thevenin resistance at the pin should be kept
between 1 kΩ and 7 kΩ.
The −12V monitoring is particularly challenging. It is required that an external offset voltage and external
resistors be used to bring the −12V rail into the positive input voltage region of the A/D input. It is suggested that
the supply rail for the LM94 device be used as the offset voltage. This voltage is usually derived from the P/S 5V
stand-by voltage rail via a ±1% accurate linear regulator. In this fashion we can always assume that the offset
voltage is present when the −12V rail is present as the system cannot be turned on without the 3.3V stand-by
voltage being present.

The nominal voltages listed in this table are only typical values. Voltage rails with different nominal voltages can
be monitored, but the register reading at the nominal value is no longer C0h. For example, a Mem_Core rail at
2.5V nominal could be monitored with AD_IN12, or a Mem_Vtt rail at 1.2V could be monitored with AD_IN13.
AD_IN16 is also the power pin of the LM94, therefore special limitations apply to this AD input. The specified
operational voltage range for the LM94 is 3.0V to 3.6V, therefore the voltage input to this pin is limited by this
restriction. Care should also be taken not to apply more than 6V to this pin to prevent catastrophic damage.
RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL SCALING RESISTORS FOR +12V POWER RAILS
The +12V inputs require external scaling resistors. The resistors need to scale 12V down to 0.927V.

To calculate the required ratio of R1 to R2 use this equation:
R1
12
=
- 1 = 11.04498
R2 0.927
(1)
It is recommended that the equivalent thevenin resistance of the divider be between 1k and 7k to minimize errors
caused by leakage currents at extreme temperatures. The best values for the resistors are: R1=13.7 kΩ and
R2=1.15 kΩ. This yields a ratio of 11.94498, which has a +0.27% deviation from the theoretical. It is also
recommended that the resistors have ±1% tolerance or better.
Each LSB in the voltage value registers has a weight of 12V / 192 = 62.5 mV. To calculate the actual voltage of
the +12V power input, use the following equation:
VIN = (8-bit value register code) x (62.5 mV)
(2)
RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL SCALING CIRCUIT FOR −12V POWER INPUT
The −12V input requires external resistors to level shift the nominal input voltage of −12V to +0.309V.

Resistors for −12V Power Input
The +3.3V standby voltage is used as a reference for the level shifting. Therefore, the tolerance of this voltage
directly effects the accuracy of the −12V reading. To minimize ratio errors, a tolerance of better than ±1% should
be used. It is recommended that the equivalent thevenin resistance of the divider is between 1k and 7k to
minimize errors caused by leakage currents at extreme temperatures. To calculate the ratio of R1 to R2 use this
equation:
(VIN - VREF)
R1

=
R2 (AD_IN - VREF)
(3)
where VIN is the nominal input voltage of −12V, VREF is the reference voltage of +3.3V and AD_IN is the voltage
required at the AD input for a ¼ scale reading or 0.309V.
Therefore, for this case:
(-12 - 3.3)
R1
- 1 = 4.11535
=
R2 (0.309 - 3.3)
(4)
Using standard 1% resistor values for R1 of 5.76 kΩ and R2 of 1.4 kΩ yields an R1 to R2 ratio of 4.1143.
The input voltage VIN can be calculated using the value register reading (VR) using this equation:

ADDING EXTERNAL SCALING RESISTORS TO OTHER ANALOG INPUTS
All analog inputs, except AD_IN1 through AD_IN3 and AD_IN15, include internal resistor dividers. Further scaling
of AD_IN4 through AD_IN14 inputs with external scaling resistors is possible if the errors due to the internal
dividers are accounted. The internal resistors, RIN1 + RIN2 shown in Figure 7, will present to the external divider
a minimum resistive load of 140 kΩ.

DYNAMIC Vccp MONITORING USING VID
The AD_IN7 (CPU1 Vccp) and AD_IN8 (CPU2 Vccp) inputs are dynamically monitored using the P1_VIDx and
P2_VIDx inputs to determine the limits. The dynamic comparisons operate independently of the static
comparisons which use the statically programmed limits. The LM94 supports 3 different specifications for the
Voltage Regulator (VRM or VRD) used on motherboards with Intel CPUs with four different VID Modes of
operation. The Voltage Regulator Specifications supported are the VRD10/VRM10, VRD10.2 Extended and
VRD11/VRM11, and in this document they will be referred to as the VRD10, VRD10.2 and VRD11 specifications,
respectively.
According to the VRD 10 specification when a VID signal is ramping to a new value, it steps by one LSB at a
time, and one step occurs every 5 µs. In worse case, up to 20 steps may occur at once over 100 µs. The Vccp
voltage from the VRD has to settle to the new value within 50 µs of the last VID change. The LM94 expects that
the VID changes will not occur more frequently than every 5 µs in the VRD10 mode. Similarly the LM94 can
support the timing requirements of the VRD10.2 and VRD11 specifications.
The VID signals can be changed by the processor under program control, by internal thermal events or by
external control, like force PROCHOT.
The reference voltages selected by each value of the VID code can be found in the different VRM/VRD
specifications. Transient VID values caused by line-to-line skew are ignored by the LM94. See the VRM/VRD
specifications for the worst case line-to-line skew.
The LM94 averages the VID values over a sampling window to determine the average voltage that the VID input
was indicating during the sampling window. At the completion of a voltage conversion cycle the LM94 performs
limit comparisons based on average VID values and not instantaneous values. The upper limit is determined by
adding the upper limit offset to the average voltage indicated by VID. The lower limit is determined by subtracting
the lower limit offset from average voltage indicated by VID. If the AD_IN7 (or AD_IN8) voltage falls outside the
upper and lower limits, an error event is generated. Dynamic and static comparisons are performed once every
100 ms. The averaging time interval is 1.5 ms.
If at any time during the Vccp sampling window, the VID code indicates that the VRD/VRM should turn off its
output, the dynamic Vccp checking is disabled for that sample.
The comparison accuracy is ±25 mV, therefore the comparison limits must be set to include this error. Since the
Vccp voltage may be in the process of settling to a new value (due to a VID change), this settling should be
taken into account when setting the upper and lower limit offsets.
The LM94 has a limitation on the upper limit voltage for dynamic Vccp checking. The upper limit cannot exceed
1.5875V. If the sum of the voltage indicated by VID and the upper offset voltage exceed 1.5875, the upper limit
checking is disabled.

Pins 11 and 12 have dual purpose. When VRD10 mode is selected they can be used as general purpose inputs
whose state is reflected the BMC and Host Error Status registers. In the other VRD modes they are used as a
VID6 input.
MONITORING ANALOG TEMPERATURE SENSORS
AD_IN11 and AD_IN15 readings can be routed to the fan control logic to facilitate the use of external
temperature sensors such as the LM60. When these inputs are used for temperature sensing the digital output
returned is in signed format, that is the MSb is inverted.

VREF OUTPUT
VREF is a fixed voltage to be used by an external VRD or as a voltage reference input for the BMC A/D inputs.
VREF is 2.5V ±1%. There is internal current limit protection for the VREF output in case it gets shorted to supply or
ground accidentally.
PROCHOT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PROCHOT is an output from a processor that indicates that the processor has reached a predetermined
temperature trip point. At this trip point the processor can be programmed to lower its internal operating
frequency and/or lower its supply voltage by changing the value of the 6 bit VID that it supplies to the VRD. The
final VID setting and the rate at which it transitions to the new VID is programmable within the processor.
If PROCHOT is 100% throttled, it does not mean that the CPU is not executing, but it may mean that the CPU is
about to encounter a thermal trip if the processor temperature continues to rise.
PROCHOT is also an input to some processors so that an external controller can force a thermal throttle based
on external events.
PROCHOT is no longer asserted by the processor when the temperature drops below the predefined thermal trip
point.
Oscillation around the trip point is avoided by the processor by requiring that the temperature be above/below the
trip point for a predetermined period of time. A counter inside the processor is used to track this time and it has
to be incremented to a max count for an above temperature trip and decremented to zero when below the trip
temperature setting, to remove the trip.
The minimum time for PROCHOT assertion is time dependant on the FSB frequency. The minimum time that the
processor asserts PROCHOT is estimated to be 187 µs.

PROCHOT MONITORING
PROCHOT monitoring applies to both the P1_PROCHOT and P2_PROCHOT inputs. Both inputs are monitored
in the same fashion, but the following description discusses a single monitor. (Px_PROCHOT represents both
P1_PROCHOT and P2_PROCHOT).
PROCHOT monitoring is meant to achieve two goals. One goal is to measure the percentage of time that
PROCHOT is asserted over a programmable time period. The result of this measurement can be read from an 8bit register where one LSB equals 1/256th of the PROCHOT Time Interval (0.39%). The second goal is to have a
status register that indicates, as a coarse percentage, the amount of time a processor has been throttled. This
second goal is required in order to communicate information over the NIC using ASF, i.e. status can be sent, not
values.
To achieve the first goal, the PROCHOT input is monitored over a period of time as defined by the PROCHOT
Time Interval Register. At the end of each time period, the 8-bit measurement is transferred to the Current
Px_PROCHOT register. Also at the end of each measurement period, the Current Px_PROCHOT register value
is moved to the Average Px_PROCHOT register by adding the new value to the old value and dividing the result
by 2. Note that the value that is averaged into the Average Px_PROCHOT register is not the new measurement
but rather the previous measurement. If the SMBus writes to the Current P1_PROCHOT (or Current
P2_PROCHOT) register, the capture cycle restarts for both monitoring channels (P1_PROCHOT and
P2_PROCHOT). Also note, that a strict average of two 8-bit values may result in Average Px_PROCHOT
reflecting a value that is one LSB lower than the Current Px_PROCHOT in steady state.
It should be noted that the 8-bit result has a positive bias of one half of an LSB. This is necessary because a
value of 00h represents that Px_PROCHOT was not asserted at all during the sampling window. Any amount of
throttling results in a reading of 01h.
The following table demonstrates the mapping for the 8-bit result:
8–Bit Result

To achieve the second goal, the LM94 has several comparators that compare the measured percentage reading
against several fixed and 1 variable value. The variable value is user programmable.
The result of these comparisons generates several error status bits described in the following table:

These status bits are reflected in the PROCHOT Error Status Registers. Each of the P1_PROCHOT and
P2_PROCHOT inputs is monitored independently, and each has its own set of status registers.
In S3 and S4/5 sleep states, the PROCHOT Monitoring function does not run. VRDx_Hot is disabled from
activating PROCHOT pins in S3 and S4/5. The Current Px_PROCHOT registers are reset to 00h and the
Average Px_PROCHOT registers hold their current state. Once the sleep state changes back to S0, the
monitoring function is restarted. After the first PROCHOT measurement has been made, the measurement is
written directly into the Current and Average Px_PROCHOT registers without performing any averaging.
Averaging returns to normal on the second measurement.
PROCHOT OUTPUT CONTROL
In some cases, it is necessary for the LM94 to drive the Px_PROCHOT outputs low. There are several conditions
that cause this to happen.
The LM94 can be told to logically short the two PROCHOT inputs together. When this is done, the LM94
monitors each of the Px_PROCHOT inputs. If any external device asserts one of the PROCHOT signals, the
LM94 responds by asserting the other PROCHOT signal until the first PROCHOT signal is de-asserted. This
feature should never be enabled if the PROCHOT signals are already being shorted by another means.
Whenever one of the VRDx_HOT inputs is asserted, the corresponding Px_PROCHOT pins are asserted by the
LM94. The response time is less than 10 µs. When the VRDx_HOT input is de-asserted, the Px_PROCHOT pin
is no longer asserted by the LM94. If the LM94 is configured to short the PROCHOT signals together, it always
asserts them together whenever either of the VRDx_HOT inputs is asserted. This response is disabled in sleep
states 3 and 4/5 and can be disabled through the PROCHOT Control register.
Software can manually program the LM94 to drive a PWM type signal onto P1_PROCHOT or P2_PROCHOT.
This is done via the PROCHOT Override register. See the description of this register for more details. Once
again, if the LM94 is configured to short the PROCHOT signals together, it always asserts them together
whenever this function is enabled.
FAN SPEED MEASUREMENT
The fan tach circuitry measures the period of the fan pulses by enabling a counter for two periods of the fan tach
signal. The accumulated count is proportional to the fan tach period and inversely proportional to the fan speed.
All four fan tach signals are measured within 1 second.
Fans in general do not over-speed if run from the correct voltage, so the failure condition of interest is under
speed due to electrical or mechanical failure. For this reason only low-speed limits are programmed into the limit
registers for the fans. It should be noted that, since fan period rather than speed is being measured, a fan tach
error event occurs when the measurement exceeds the limit value.
SMART FAN SPEED MEASUREMENT
If a fan's speed is varied using PWM drive of either of the fans power pins, the tachometer output of the fan is
corrupted. The LM94 includes smart tachometer circuitry that allows an accurate tachometer reading to be
achieved despite the signal corruption. In smart tach mode all four signals are measured within 4 seconds.
A smart tach capture cycle works according to the following steps:
1. Both PWM outputs are synchronized such that they activate simultaneously.
2. Both PWM output active times are extended for up to 50 ms.
3. The number of tach signal periods during the 50 ms interval are tracked:
a)
If less than 1 period is sensed during the 50 ms extension the result returned is 3FFh.
b)
After one period occurs the count for that period is memorized.
c)
If during the 50 ms interval 2 periods do not occur, the tach value reported is the 1 period count multiplied
by 2.
d)
If 2 periods do occur, the 2 period count is loaded into the value register and the 50 ms PWM extension is
terminated.

The lowest two bits in each of the Fan Tach value registers are reserved. The smart tach feature takes
advantage of these bits. In normal tach mode, these bits return 00. In smart tach mode the two bits determine
the accuracy level of the reading. 11 is most accurate (2 periods used) and 10 is the least accurate (1 period
used). If less than 1 period occurred during the measurement cycle, the lower two bits are set to 10.
In smart fan tach mode, the TACH_EDGE field is honored in the LM94 Status/Control register. If only one edge
type is active, the measurement always uses that edge type (rising or falling). If both are active, the
measurement uses whichever edge type occurs first.
Typically the minimum RPM captured by smart fan tach mode is 900 RPM for a fan that produces two pulses per
revolution at about 50% duty cycle.
Inputs/Outputs
Besides all the pins associated with sensor inputs the LM94 has several pins that are assigned for other specific
functions.
ALERT OUTPUT
The ALERT output is an active-low open drain output signal. The ALERT output is used to signal a microcontroller that one or more sensors have crossed their corresponding limit thresholds. This is generally not a fatal
event unless the micro-controller decides it to be.
If enabled, the ALERT output is asserted whenever any bit in any BMC Error Status register is set (with the
exception of the fixed PROCHOT threshold bits). By definition, when ALERT is enabled, it always matches the
inverse of the BMC_ERR bit in the LM94 Status/Control register. When the ALERT output is disabled, an alert
event can still be determined by reading the state of the BMC_ERR bit.
The ALERT functions like an interrupt. The LM94 does not support the SMBus ARA (Alert Response Address)
protocol.
ALERT is only de-asserted when there are no error status bits set in any BMC Error Status registers.
Alternatively, software can disable the ALERT output to cause it to de-assert. The ALERT output re-asserts once
enabled if any BMC Error Status register bits are still set.
The ALERT output also functions in comparator mode for thermal events, that is the ALERT output will be
asserted for unmasked thermal error events and will de-assert immediately when the error event ceases. The
operation of the ALERT output is controlled by the LM94 Configuration register.
Further information on how the ALERT output behaves can be found in MASKING, ERROR STATUS AND
ALERT.
RESET INPUT/OUTPUT
This pin acts as an active low reset output when power is applied to the LM94. It is asserted when the LM94 first
sees a voltage that exceeds the internal POR level on its +3.3V S/B VDD input. The internal registers of the LM94
are reset to their defaults when power is applied.
After this reset has completed, the RESET pin becomes an input. When an external device asserts RESET, the
LM94 clears the LOCK bit in the LM94 Configuration register. This feature allows critical registers to be locked
and provides a controlled mechanism to unlock them.
If the LM94 RESET is not used it must be tied high through an external resistive pull-up to prevent LM94
malfunction.
Within 10 µsec of asserting RESET externally, the Sleep State Control register shall be automatically set to S4/5.
This causes several error events to be masked according to the S4/5 masking definitions. Refer to the register
descriptions for more information. RESET may not be detected if it is asserted for less than 4 µsec.
PWM1 AND PWM2 OUTPUTS
The PWM outputs are used to control the speed of fans. The duty cycle of each output is automatically controlled
by the temperature of one or more temperature zones. They are also influenced by various other inputs and
registers. See FAN CONTROL for further information on the behavior of the PWM outputs.

VRD1_HOT AND VRD2_HOT INPUTS
These inputs monitor the thermal sensor associated with each processor VRD on a baseboard. When one of the
inputs is activated, it indicates that the VRD has exceeded a predetermined temperature threshold. The LM94
responds by gradually increasing the duty cycle of any PWM outputs that are bound to the corresponding
processor and setting the appropriate error status bits. The corresponding PROCHOT signal is also asserted.
See the FAN CONTROL and the PROCHOT OUTPUT CONTROL for more information.
GPIO and GPI PINS
The LM94 has 8 GPIO pins than can act as either as general purpose inputs or outputs and 2 GPI pins that can
act as general purpose inputs. Each can be configured and controlled independently. When acting as an input
the pin can be masked to prevent it from setting a corresponding bit in the GPI Error status registers. Some of
these pins can also function as tachometer or VID inputs.
FAN TACH INPUTS
The fan inputs are Schmitt-Trigger digital inputs. Schmitt-Trigger input circuitry is included to accommodate slow
rise and fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs.
The maximum input signal range is 0V to +6.0V, even when VDD is less than 5V. In the event that these inputs
are supplied from fan outputs, which exceed 0V to +6.0V, either resistive attenuation of the fan signal or diode
clamping must be included to keep inputs within an acceptable range, thereby preventing damage to the LM94.
Hot plugging fans can involve spikes on the Tach signals of up to 12V so diode protection or other circuitry is
required. For “Hot Plug” fans, external clamp diodes may be required for signal conditioning.
SMBus Interface
The SMBus is used to communicate with the LM94. LM94 SMBus interface lines are designed to be tolerant to
5V signalling. Necessary pull-ups are located on the baseboard. Care should be taken to ensure that only one
pull-up is used for each SMBus signal. The SMBus interface obeys the SMBus 2.0 protocols and signaling levels.
The SMBus interface of the LM94 does not load down the SMBus if no power is applied to the LM94. This allows
a module containing the LM94 to be powered down and replaced, if necessary.
SMBus ADDRESSING
Each time the LM94 is powered up, it latches the assigned SMBus slave address (determined by ADDR_SEL)
during the first valid SMBus transaction in which the first five bits of the targeted slave address match those of
the LM94 slave address. Once the address has been latched, the LM94 continues to use that address for all
future transactions until power is lost.
The address select input detects three different voltage levels and allows for up to 3 devices to exist in a system.
The address assignment is as follows:
Address Select Pin
(ADDR_SEL)
Slave Address
Assignment
High
01011 01
VDD/2
01011 10
Low
01011 00
DIGITAL NOISE EFFECT ON SMBus COMMUNICATION
Noise coupling into the digital lines (greater than 150mV), overshoot greater than VDD and undershoot less than
GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with the LM94. SMBus No Acknowledge (NACK) 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. The LM94 includes on chip low-pass
filtering of the SMBCLK and SMBDAT signals to make it more noise immune. Minimize noise coupling by
keeping digital traces out of switching baseboard areas as well as ensuring that digital lines containing high
speed data communications cross at right angles to the SMBDAT and SMBCLK lines.

GENERAL SMBus TIMING
The SMBus 2.0 specification defines specific conditions for different types of read and write operations but in
general the SMBus protocol operates as follows:
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a START condition, defined as a high to low transition on the
serial data line SMBDAT while the serial clock line SMBCLK remains high. This indicates that a data stream
follows. All slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the START condition, and shift in the next 8
bits. This consists of a 7-bit slave address (MSB first) plus a R/W bit, which determines the direction of the data
transfer, i.e. whether data is written to or read from the slave device (0 = write, 1 = read).
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted address responds by pulling the data line low
during the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the Acknowledge Bit, and holding it low during the
high period of this clock pulse. All other devices on the bus now remain idle while the selected device waits for
data to be read from or written to it. If the R/W bit is a 0 then the master writes to the slave device. If the R/W bit
is a 1 the master reads from the slave device.
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of 9 clock pulses, 8 bits of data followed by an Acknowledge bit.
Data transitions on the data line must occur during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable during
the high period, as a low to high transition when the clock is high may be interpreted as a STOP signal.
If the operation is a write operation, the first data byte after the slave address is a command byte. This tells the
slave device what to expect next. It may be an instruction, such as telling the slave device to expect a block
write, or it may simply be a register address that tells the slave where subsequent data is to be written.
Since data can flow in only one direction as defined by the R/W bit, it is not possible to send a command to a
slave device during a read operation. Before doing a read operation, it is necessary to do a write operation to tell
the slave what sort of read operation to expect and/or the address from which data is to be read.
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions are established. In WRITE mode, the master will
allow the data line to go high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a STOP condition. In READ mode, the slave
drives the data not the master. For the bit in question, the slave is looking for an acknowledge and the master
doesn't drive low. This is known as ‘No Acknowledge’. The master then takes the data line low during the low
period before the 10th clock pulse, then high during the 10th clock pulse to assert a STOP condition.
Note, a repeated START may be given only between a write and read operation that are in succession.
SMBus ERROR SAFETY FEATURES
To provide a more robust SMBus interface, the LM94 incorporates a timeout feature for both SMBCLK and
SMBDAT. If either signal is low for a long period of time (see SMBus AC specs), the LM94 SMBus state machine
reverts to the idle state and waits for a START signal. Large block transfers of all zeros should be avoided if the
SMBCLK is operating at a very low frequency to avoid accidental timeouts. Pulling the Reset pin low does not
reset the SMBus state machine. If the LM94 SMBDAT pin is low during a system reset, the LM94’s state
machine timeouts and resets automatically. If the LM94’s SMBDAT pin is high during a system reset, the first
assertion of a start by the master resets the LM94’s interface state machine.
Although it is a violation of the SMBus specification, in some cases a START or STOP signal occurs in the
middle of a byte transfer instead of coming after an acknowledge bit. If this occurs, only a partial byte was
transferred. If a byte was being written, it is aborted and the partial byte is not committed. If a byte was being
read from a read-to-clear register, the register is not cleared.
SERIAL INTERFACE PROTOCOLS
The LM94 contains volatile registers, the registers occupy address locations from 00h to EFh.
Data can be read and written as a single byte, a word, or as a block of several bytes. The LM94 supports the
following SMBus/I2C transactions/protocols:
—
Send Byte
—
Write Byte
—
Write Word

In addition to these transactions the LM94 supports a few extra items and also has some behavior that must be
defined beyond the SMBus 2.0 specification. No other SMBus 2.0 transactions are supported (PEC, ARA etc.).
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different types of read and write operations. The ones
used in the LM94 are discussed below. The following abbreviations are used in the diagrams:
S
— START
P
— STOP
R
— READ
W
— WRITE
A
— ACKNOWLEDGE
/A
— NO ACKNOWLEDGE
Address Incrementing
The established base address does not increment. Repeatedly reading without re-establishing a new base
address returns data from the same address each time. I2C read transactions can use this information and skip
reestablishing the base address, when only one master is used. One exception to this rule exists when a block
write and block read is used to emulate a block write/read process call. This is detailed later, see the SMBus
Block-Write Block-Read Process Call description.

Special Notes
Any attempts to write to bytes beyond normal address space are acknowledged by the LM94 but are
ignored.
Block writes do not wrap from address FFh back to 00h the address remains at FFh.
The Byte Count field is ignored by the LM94. The master device may send more or less bytes and the LM94
accepts them.
The SMBus specification requires that block writes never exceed 32 data bytes. Meeting this requirement
means that only 31 actual data bytes can be sent (the register address counts as one byte). The LM94 does
not care if this requirement is met.
I2C™ Block Write
In this transaction the master sends a block of data to the LM94 as follows:
1. The master device asserts a START condition.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK.
4. The master sends the starting address of the block write.
5. The slave asserts ACK after each data byte.
6. The master sends data byte 1.

Special Notes:

2. Block reads do not wrap around from address FFh to 00h
3. If the master acknowledges more bytes that it requested, the LM94 continues to supply data until the master
does not acknowledge a byte.
4. If the master does not acknowledges a byte to prematurely abort a block read, the LM94 gets off the bus to
allow the master to issue a STOP signal.
Simulated SMBus Block-Write Block-Read Process Call
Alternatively, if the master cannot support an SMBus Block-Write Block-Read process call, it can be emulated by
two transactions (a block write followed by a block read). This should only be done in a single master system,
since in a dual master system collisions can occur that corrupt the data and transaction. Below is the sequence
of events for these transactions:
1. The master issues a START to start this transaction.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by a write bit (low).
3. The slave asserts the ACK.
4. The master sends the Block Read command code (F1h) and the slave asserts the ACK.
5. The master sends the Byte Count (2h) for this transaction and the slave asserts the ACK.
6. The master sends the Start Register Address and the slave asserts the ACK.
7. The master sends the Byte Count (1-20h) for the Block-Read Process Call and the slave asserts the ACK.
8. The master sends a STOP to end this transaction.
9. The master sends a START to start this transaction.
10. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by a write bit (low) and the slave asserts the ACK.
11. The master sends the Block Read Command code (F1h) and the slave asserts the ACK.
12. The master sends a repeat START.
13. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by a read bit (high) and the slave asserts the ACK.
14. The master receives Byte Count (this matches the size sent by the master in step 7) and asserts the ACK.
15. The master receives Data Byte 1 and asserts the ACK.
16. The master receives Data Byte 2 and asserts the ACK.
17. The master receives N-3 data bytes, and asserts ACK for each one.
18. The master receives the last data byte and asserts a NACK.
19. The master issues a STOP to end this transaction.

Special Notes:
Steps 9 through 19 can be repeated to read another block of data. The address auto-increments such that
the next block starts where the last block left off. The size returned by the LM94 is the same each time.
The LM94 returns 00h when address locations outside of normal address space are read.
Block reads do not wrap around from address FFh to 00h
If the master acknowledges more bytes that it requested, the LM94 continues to supply data until the master
does not acknowledge a byte.
If the master does not acknowledges a byte to prematurely abort a block read, the LM94 gets off the bus to
allow the master to issue a STOP signal.
After a block read is finished, the base address of the LM94 is updated to point to the byte just beyond the
last byte read.
SMBus Fixed Address Block Reads
Block reads can be performed from pre-defined addresses. A special command code has been reserved for each
pre-defined address. See the Block Command Code Summary for more details on the command codes. Below is
the sequence of events that occur for this type of block read:
1. The master sends a START to start this transaction.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by a write bit (low).
3. The slave asserts an ACK.
4. The master sends a Fixed Block Command Code (F2h-FDh) and the slave asserts an ACK.
5. The master sends a repeated START.
6. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by a read bit (high).
7. The slave asserts an ACK.
8. The master receives the Byte Count (depends on the Fixed Block Command Code used) and asserts an
ACK.
9. The master receives the first data byte and asserts an ACK.
10. The master continues to receive data bytes and asserting an ACK.

READING AND WRITING 16-BIT REGISTERS
Whenever the low byte of a 16-bit register is read, the high byte is frozen. After the high byte is read, it is
unfrozen. This ensures that the entire 16-bit value is read properly and the high byte matches with the low byte.
If the low byte of a different 16-bit register is read, the currently frozen high byte is unfrozen and the high byte of
the new 16-bit register is frozen. In a system with two SMBus masters, it is very important that only one master
reads any 16-bit registers at a time. One possible method to achieve this would involve using 16-bit SMBus
reads (instead of two separate 8-bit reads) to read 16-bit registers.
Whenever the low byte of a 16-bit register is written, the write is buffered and does not take effect until the
corresponding high byte is written. If the low byte of a different 16-bit register is written, the previously buffered
low byte of the first register is discarded. If a device attempts to write the high byte of a 16-bit register, and the
corresponding low byte was not written (or was discarded), then the LM94 will NACK the byte.

RESETS
Upon power up, the RESET output is asserted when the voltage on the power supply crosses the power-on-reset
threshold level (see the Electrical Characteristics). The RESET output is open-drain and should be used with an
external pull-up resistor connected to VDD. Once the power on reset has completed, the RESET pin becomes an
input and 10 µs after assertion of RESET the LOCK bit in the LM94 Configuration register shall be cleared. In
addition, 10 µs after assertion of RESET the sleep control register shall be automatically set to S4/S5. This
causes several error events to be masked according to the S4/S5 masking definitions. Since the RESET pin
becomes an active input, it must not be left floating at any time as this may cause the LM94 to drift into S4/S5
and thus have unpredictable behavior. RESET must be asserted for more than 4µs in order to ensure detection.

ADDRESS SELECTION
LM94 is designed to be used primarily in dual processor server systems that may require only one monitoring
device.
If multiple LM94 devices are implemented in a system, they must have unique SMBus slave addresses. See the
SMBus ADDRESSING for more information.
The board designer may apply a 10 kΩ pull-down and/or pull-up resistors to ground and/or to 3.3V SB VDD on
the ADDR_SEL pin. The LM94 is designed to work with resistors of 5% tolerance for the case where two
resistors are required. Upon the first SMBus communication to the part, the LM94 assigns itself an SMBus
address according to the ADDR_SEL input.

ERROR STATUS REGISTERS
The LM94 contains several error status registers for the BMC side, and duplicated error status registers for the
Host side. These registers are used to reflect the state of all the possible error conditions that the LM94 monitors.
The BMC/Host Error Status registers hold a set bit until the event is cleared by software, even if the condition
causing the error event goes away.
To clear a bit in the Error Status registers, a ‘1’ has to be written to the specific bit that is required to be cleared.
If the event that caused the error is no longer active then the bit is cleared.
Clearing a bit in a BMC Error Status register does not clear the corresponding bit in the Host Error Status
register or vise versa.
ASF Mode
Error Status registers function allow the LM94 to act as a legacy sensor (6.1.2 of ASF spec DSP0114 rev 2) and
to easily connect to the SMBus of an ASF capable NIC chip.
The LM94 can be placed into ASF mode by setting the appropriate bit in the LM94 Status/Control register. Once
this bit is set, the BMC Error Status registers become read-to-clear. Writing a ‘1’ to clear a particular bit is also
allowed in ASF mode. The Host Error Status registers are not effected by ASF mode.
MASKING, ERROR STATUS AND ALERT
Masking is always applied to bits in the HOST and BMC Error Status registers. If an event is masked, the
corresponding error bit in the HOST or BMC Error Status registers is prevented from ever being set. As a result,
this prevents the event from ever causing ALERT to be asserted. Masking an event does not clear its associated
Error Status bit if it is currently set.
Voltage errors are masked by writing a high voltage limit value of FFh. This is the default high limit for all
voltages.
Temperature errors are masked by writing a high temperature limit value of 80h. This is the default high limit for
all temperatures. Masking a temperature channel masks both temperature errors and diode fault errors.
The GPI Mask register allows GPI errors to be masked. Any bits that are set in this register mask events for the
corresponding GPIO_x pin.
User PROCHOT status is not really an error but it can be used to notify the user of processor throttling past a
preset USER limit. A user limit of FFh acts as the mask for this register. Error bits associated with the predefined
PROCHOT thresholds cannot be masked. It is important to note though, that these error bits do not cause
BMC_ERR, HOST_ERR, or ALERT to be asserted under any condition.
Fan tach errors are masked if the tach limit for the given tach is set to FFh .
GPI errors and VRDx_HOT errors can be masked by setting the appropriate bit in the GPI and Miscellaneous
Error Mask registers.
When the LM94 powers up, the ALERT output is disabled. The ALERT output can be enabled by setting the
ALERT_EN bit in the LM94 Configuration register.
In addition the manual masking options, the LM94 also masks some errors depending on the sleep state of the
system. The sleep state of the system is communicated to the LM94 by writing to the Sleep State Control
register. Some types of error events are always masked in certain sleep modes. Some types of error events are
optionally masked in certain sleep modes if their sleep mask register bit is set. Refer to the register descriptions
for more information.
LAYOUT AND GROUNDING
Analog components such as voltage dividers should be physically located as close as possible to the LM94. See
PCB Layout for Minimizing Noise for thermal diode layout recommendations.
The LM94 bypass capacitors, the parallel combination of 100 pF, 10 µF (electrolytic or tantalum) and 0.1 µF
(ceramic) bypass capacitors must be connected between power pin (pin 39) and ground, and should be located
as close as possible to the LM94. The 100 pF capacitor should be placed closest to the power pin.

THERMAL DIODE APPLICATION
To measure temperature external to the LM94, use a remote discrete diode to sense the temperature of external
objects or ambient air. The temperature of a discrete diode is 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 a MMBT3904
transistor type base emitter junction be used with the collector tied to the base.

When a transistor is connected as a diode, the following relationship holds for variables VBE, T and IF:

q = 1.6×10−19 Coulombs (the electron charge),
T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin
k = 1.38×10−23joules/K (Boltzmann's constant),
η is the non-ideality factor of the process the diode is manufactured on,

In the active region, the -1 term is negligible and may be eliminated, yielding the following equation

In Equation 12, η and IS are dependant upon the process that was used in the fabrication of the particular diode.
By forcing two currents with a well controlled ratio(IF2/IF1) and measuring the resulting voltage difference, it is
possible to eliminate the IS term. Solving for the forward voltage difference yields the relationship:

Equation 14 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 9 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 14 is an approximation.
TruTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 15, which is a more accurate representation of the
topology of the thermal diode found in an FPGA or processor.

TruTherm should only be enabled when measuring the temperature of a transistor integrated as shown in the
processor of Figure 9, because Equation 15 only applies to this topology.
Calculating Total System Accuracy
The voltage seen by the LM94 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 Pentium D processor on 65nm process, Intel specifies a +4.06%/−0.89%
variation in η from part to part when the processor diode is measured by a circuit that assumes diode equation,
Equation 14, as true. As an example, assume a temperature sensor has an accuracy specification of ±2.5°C at a
temperature of 75 °C (348 Kelvin) and the processor diode has a non-ideality variation of +4.06%/−0.89%. The
resulting system accuracy of the processor temperature being sensed will be:
TACC = ± 2.5°C + (+4.06% of 348 K) = +16.6 °C
(16)
TACC = ± 2.5°C + (−0.89% of 348 K) = −5.6 °C
(17)
and
TruTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equation 15, resulting in a non-ideality spread that truly
reflects the process variation which is very small. The transistor equation non-ideality spread is ±0.4% for the
Pentium D processor on 65nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm technology improves to:
TACC = ±2.5°C + (±0.4% of 348 K) = ± 3.9 °C
(18)
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 the Pentium D
processor on 65 nm process, this is specified at 4.52Ω typical. The LM94 accommodates the typical series
resistance of the Pentium D processor on 90 nm process. The error that is not accounted for is the spread of the
Pentium'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 LM94 is simply:
TER = RPCB x 0.62°C/ :

SNAS264C – APRIL 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2013
Solving Equation 19 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 19 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 LM94.
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 LM94 is calibrated for two non-ideality factors and series
resistance values thus supporting the MMBT3904 transistor and the Pentium D processor on 65nm process
without the requirement for additional trims. For most accurate measurements TruTherm mode should be turned
on when measuring the Pentium D processor on the 65nm process 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 LM94.
TCF = [(ηS−ηProcessor) ÷ ηS] × (TCR+ 273 K)
(20)
where
• ηS = LM94 non-ideality for accuracy specification
• ηT = target thermal diode typical non-ideality
• TCR = center of the temperature range of interest in °C
The correction factor of Equation 20 should be directly added to the temperature reading produced by the LM94.
For example when using the LM94, 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)÷1.003]×(80+273) =−1.75°C
(21)
Therefore, 1.75°C should be subtracted from the temperature readings of the LM94 to compensate for the
differing typical non-ideality target.
PCB Layout for Minimizing Noise
In the following guidelines, Remote+ and Remote -− refer to the REMOTE1a+, Remote 1b+, REMOTE1−,
REMOTE2a+, Remote2b+ and REMOTE2− pins.
In a noisy environment, such as a power supply, layout considerations are very critical. Noise induced on traces
running between the remote temperature diode sensor and the LM94 can cause temperature conversion errors.
The following guidelines should be followed:
1. Place a 0.1 µF and 100 pF LM94 power bypass capacitors as close as possible to the VDD pin, with the
100pF capacitor being the closest. Place 10 µF capacitor in the near vicinity of the LM94 power pin.
2. Place a 100 pF capacitor as close as possible to the LM94 thermal diode Remote+ and Remote− pins. Make
sure the traces to the 100 pF capacitor are matched and as short as possible. This capacitor is required to
minimize high frequency noise error.
3. Thermal diodes that share one Remote− pin must have a separate trace from the LM94 Remote− pin run to
each diode cathode. Do not "daisy chain" these connections.
4. Ideally, the LM94 should be placed within 10 cm of the thermal diode pins with the traces being as straight,
short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1Ω can cause as much as 1°C of error.
5. 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 Remote+ and Remote− lines. In the event that noise does couple to
the diode lines, it would be ideal if it is coupled to both identically, i.e. common mode. That is, equally to the
Remote+ (D+) and Remote−(D-) lines. (See figure below):

Figure 10. Recommended Diode Trace Layout
6. Avoid routing diode traces in close proximity to any power supply switching or filtering inductors.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. The ideal place to connect the LM94’s GND pin is as close as possible to the Processors GND associated
with the sense diode. In the case of two processors pick a node in between the two that has the least noise.
10. Leakage current between Remote+ and GND should be kept to a minimum. Error in the diode temperature
reading may reach 0.4°C with 30 nA of leakage current. Keeping the printed circuit board as clean as
possible minimizes leakage current. The residue from some freeze spray can induce high leakage current.
FAN CONTROL
Automatic Fan Control Methods
The LM94 fan speed control method is optimized for fan noise reduction, fan power efficiency, fan reliability and
minimum cost. The PWMx outputs can be filtered using an external switching regulator type output stage that
provides 5V to 12V DC for fan power. A high PWM frequency is required to minimize the size and cost of the
inductor and other components used in the output stage. The PWM outputs of the LM94 can operate up to 22.5
kHz with a variable step size depending on the fan control mode of operation. The LM94 supports LUT (Lookup
Table) and PI (Proportional Integral) fan control methods. These methods can function interactively or
independently as controlled by the PWM binding registers. Figure 11 shows the high level block diagram for
these fan control methods. The mapping/binding of the temperature zones to the LUTs is completely
independent of the PI loops. The temperature zones can be first independently bound to the LUTs and/or PI
loops then each LUT or PI loop can be bound to either PWM Output. The LUT parameters are independent of
the temperature zone binding. The PI loop controller is a proportional-integral feedback controller. It generates a
9-bit PWM duty cycle and uses temperature feedback from the processor thermal zones (Zones 1 and 2). The
PWM output controls the airflow over the processors and thus the temperature of the processors is adjusted by
the PI loop to maintain the hottest temperature reading between the values Tcontrol and Tcontrol - hysteresis.
The LM94 supports 2 processors and each processor can have two thermal sub-zones. The hottest of each
processor temperature is reported to the Zone selectors and PI loop inputs. Each processor has an independent
Tcontrol setting.

LUT Fan Control Duty Cycles
Several registers in the LM94 use 4-bit values to represent a duty cycle. All of them use a common mapping that
associates the 4-bit value with a duty cycle. The 4-bit values correspond also with the 14 steps of the auto fan
control algorithm. The mapping is shown below. This applies for PWM outputs running at the default 22.5 kHz
(high) frequency.

Alternate LUT PWM Mapping
The PWM output can operate at lower frequencies, instead of the default 22.5 kHz. The lower frequencies can
be enabled through the PWMx Control 4 registers. Operating in the lower frequency mode, enables an alternate
mapping of step numbers to duty cycle. This effects the auto fan control and all LM94 registers that describe a
duty cycle using a 4-bit value. This alternate mapping can also be enable when using the default 22.5 kHz PWM
frequency.

Fan Control Priorities
The automatic fan control is not the only function that influences PWM duty cycle. There are several other
functions that influence the PWM duty cycle. All the functions can be classified into several categories:
Category #
Category Name
1
PWM to 100% conditions
2
VRDx_HOT ramp-up/ramp-down
3
PROCHOT ramp-up/ramp-down function
4
Manual PWM Override
5
Fan Spin-Up Control
6
Automatic Fan Control Algorithm
The ultimate PWM duty cycle that is chosen can be described by the following formula:
If (Manual PWM Override is active)
PWM = max(1,2,3,4)
Else
PWM = max(1,2,3,5,6)
So in general, categories 1, 2 and 3 are always active. In addition to that, either category 4 or categories 5 and 6
are active depending on whether manual override is enabled. In this sense the manual override, when enabled,
replaces category 5 and 6.
PWM to 100% Conditions
There are several conditions that cause the duty cycles of all PWM outputs to immediately get set to 100%. They
are:
1. any of the four temperature zones exceed the programmed Fan Boost Limit setting but has not yet cooled
down enough to drop below the hysteresis point
2. a tachometer reading exceeds its limit
3. the OVRID bit is set in the LM94 Status/Control
VRDx_HOT Ramp-Up/Ramp-Down
This function causes the duty cycle of the PWM outputs to gradually increase over time if VRD1_HOT or
VRD2_HOT are asserted.
When VRDx_HOT is asserted, the ramp function is enabled. The enabling process involves two steps:
1. The current duty cycle being requested by other PWM functions is memorized.
2. The ramp function immediately adds one PWM duty cycle step to the memorized value and requests this
duty cycle.
Once the function is enabled, it gradually adds additional duty cycle steps every X milliseconds whenever
VRDx_HOT is asserted (X is programmable via the PWM Ramp Control register). If VRDx_HOT remains
asserted for a long enough time, the duty cycle eventually reaches 100%.
Whenever VRDx_HOT is de-asserted, the ramp function begins to ramp down by subtracting one PWM duty
cycle step every X milliseconds. If VRDx_HOT is currently de-asserted, and the ramp function is less than to the
PWM duty cycle being requested by other functions, the ramp function is disabled.
As long as the function is enabled, it continues to ramp up or ramp down depending on the state of VRDx_HOT.
The ramp enabling process described above can only re-occur after the ramp function has been disabled. Rapid
assertion/de-assertion of VRDx_HOT does not trigger the enabling process unless VRDx_HOT was de-asserted
long enough for the ramp function to disable itself.
This ramp function operates independently for VRD1_HOT and VRD2_HOT. In addition, the ramp function only
applies to the PWM(s) that are bound to one or two VRDx_HOT inputs. Depending on the bindings, it is possible
that up to four independent ramp functions are active at any given moment:

PWM1/VRD1
PWM1/VRD2
PWM2/VRD1
PWM2/VRD2
If a PWM is bound to both VRD1_HOT and VRD2_HOT, then two ramp functions are active for that PWM output.
In this case the duty cycle that is used is the maximum of the two ramp functions.
PROCHOT Ramp-Up/Ramp-Down
This function is very similar to the VRDx_HOT ramp-up/ramp-down function. The PWM duty cycle ramps up in
the same fashion whenever the PROCHOT measurement exceeds the user programmed threshold. Once a new
PROCHOT measurement is made that no longer exceeds the user limit, the PWM will begin to ramp down.
Just as with the VRDx_HOT ramp function, the PROCHOT ramp function uses independent bindings to
determine which PWM outputs should be effected by each PROCHOT input (P1_PROCHOT or P2_PROCHOT).
If a PWM is bound to both P1_PROCHOT and P2_PROCHOT, two PROCHOT ramp functions could be active at
the same time. In this case the duty cycle that is used is the maximum of the two ramp functions.
Manual PWM Override
When a PWM channel is configured for manual PWM override, software can manually control the PWM duty
cycle. There are some PWM control functions that could still cause the duty cycle to be higher than the manual
setting. See the Fan Control Priorities for details.
Fan Spin-Up Control
All of the other PWM control functions are combined to produce a final duty cycle that is actually used for the
PWM output. If this final value changes from zero to a non-zero value, the Fan Spin-Up Control function is
triggered. Once triggered, the Fan Spin-Up Control requests the programmed duty cycle for a programmed
period of time.
XOR TREE TEST
An XOR tree is provided in the LM94 for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) board level connectivity testing. This
allows the functionality of all digital inputs to be tested in a simple manner and any pins that are non-functional or
shorted together to be identified. When the test mode is enabled by setting the ‘XEN’ bit in the XOR Test
register, the part enters XOR test mode.
Table 3. The following signals are included in the XOR test tree:
Px_VIDy
GPIO_x
PWMx
Px_PROCHOT
VRDx_HOT
GPIx
RESET
Since the test mode is XOR tree, the order of the signals in the tree is not important. SMBDAT and SMBCLK
should not be included in the test tree.
Figure 12. Example of XOR Test Tree (not showing all signals)
P1_VID0
P1_VID1
P1_VID2
P1_VID3
P1_VID4
VRD2_Hot
GPI_8
GPI_9
xTestOut
RESET
To properly implement the XOR TREE test on the PCB, no pins listed in the tree should be connected directly to
power or ground. If a pin needs to be configured as a permanent low, such as a GPI, it should be connected to
ground through a low value resister such as 10 kΩ, to allow the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) to drive it high.
When generating test waveforms, a typical propagation delay of 500 ns through the XOR tree should be allowed
for.

REGISTER WARNINGS
In most cases, reserved registers and register bits return zero when read. This should not be relied upon, since
reserved registers can be used for future expansion of the LM94 functions.
Some registers have “N/D” for their default value. This means that the power-up default of the register is not
defined. In the case of value registers, care should be taken to ensure that software does not read a value
register until the associated measurement function has acquired a measurement. This applies to temperatures,
voltages, fan RPM, and PROCHOT monitoring.

Zones 1 and 2 are all automatically updated by the LM94. The Zone 3 (Internal) Temp and Zone 4 (External
Digital) Temp registers may be written by an external SMBus device or can be assigned to AD_IN11 and
AD_IN15, respectively.
The temperature registers for zones 1 and 2 will return a value of 80h if the remote diode pins are not
implemented by the board designer or are not functioning properly.

processors and thus the temperature of the processors is adjusted by the PI loop to maintain the hottest Zone 1
or Zone 2 temperature reading between their respective values for Tcontrol and Tcontrol - hysteresis. Intel
specifies an optimum Tcontrol temperature for some of it's processors that can be found in the MSR register

The four least significant bits of the Version/Stepping register [3:0] contain the current stepping of the LM94
silicon. The four most significant bits [7:4] reflect the LM94 version number. The LM94 has a fixed version
number of 0111b wich matches the LM93, since the LM94 is closely related to the LM93. To differentiat the
LM94 from the LM93 for the first stepping of LM94 this register reads 01111000b. For the second stepping of the
LM94, this register reads 01111001b and so on. It is incrementally increased for future versions for the silicon.
The final released silicon has a stepping of 9h therefore this register reads 79h.
The register is used by application software to identify which device in the family of hardware monitoring ASICs
has been implemented in the given system. Based on this information, software can determine which registers to
read from and write to. Application software may use the current stepping to implement work-a-rounds for bugs
found in a specific silicon stepping.
BMC ERROR STATUS REGISTERS 40h–47h
The B_Error Status Registers contain several bits that each represent a particular error event that the LM94 can
monitor. The LM94 sets a given bit whenever the corresponding error event occurs. The BMC_ERR bit in the
LM94 Status/Control register is also set if any bit in the BMC Error Status registers is set. If enabled, ALERT is
also asserted anytime BMC_ERR is set. The exception to this is the fixed threshold error status bits in the
PROCHOT Error Status registers. They have no influence on BMC_ERR or ALERT.
Once a bit is set in the BMC Error Status registers, it is not automatically cleared by the LM94 if the error event
goes away. Each bit must be cleared by software. If software attempts to clear a bit while the error condition still
exists, and the error is unmasked, the bit does not clear. If the error is masked, the bit can be cleared even if the
error condition still exists.
If the LM94 is in ASF mode, the BMC Error Status registers are both read-to-clear and write-one-to-clear. When
not in ASF mode, the registers are only write-one-to-clear.
Each register described in this section has a column labeled Sleep Masking. This column describes which error
events are masked in various sleep states. The sleep state of the system is communicated to the LM94 by
writing to the Sleep State Control register. If a sleep state in this column has a ‘*’ next to it, it denotes that the
error event is optionally masked in that sleep mode, depending on the Sleep State Mask registers.

HOST ERROR STATUS REGISTERS
The Host Error Status Registers contain several bits that each represent a particular error event that the LM94
can monitor. The LM94 sets a given bit whenever the corresponding error event occurs. The HOST_ERR bit in
the LM94 Status/Control register also sets if any bit in the Host Error Status registers is set. The exception to this
is the fixed threshold error status bits in the PROCHOT Error Status registers. They have no influence on
HOST_ERR.
Once a bit is set in the Host Error Status registers, it is not automatically cleared by the LM94 if the error event
goes away. Each bit must be cleared by software. If software attempts to clear a bit while the error condition still
exists, the bit does not clear.

Software must specifically write a 1 to any bits it wishes to clear in the Host Error Status registers (write-one-toclear).
Each register described in this section has a column labeled Sleep Masking. This column describes which error
events are masked in various sleep states. The sleep state of the system is communicated to the LM94 by
writing to the Sleep State Control register. If a sleep state in this column has a ‘*’ next to it, it denotes that the
error event is optionally masked in that sleep mode, depending on the Sleep State Mask registers.

Zones 1 and 2 are all automatically updated by the LM94. The Zone 3 (Internal) Temp and Zone 4 (External
Digital) Temp registers may be written by an external SMBus device or can be assigned to AD_IN11 and
AD_IN15, respectively.
The temperature registers for zones 1 and 2 will return a value of 80h if the remote diode pins are not
implemented by the board designer or are not functioning properly.

The voltage reading registers reflect the current voltage of the LM94 voltage monitoring inputs. Voltages are
presented in the registers at ¾ full scale for the nominal voltage. Therefore, at nominal voltage, each register
reads C0h.

monitoring interval as set by the PROCHOT Time Interval register. Writing to this register does not effect the
register contents, but does restart the capture cycle for both PROCHOT channels (P1_PROCHOT and
P2_PROCHOT). A register value of one represents anything greater than 0% but less than 0.39% of active time.

The 14-bit fan tach readings indicate the number of 22.5 kHz clock periods that occurred during two full periods
of the tachometer input signal. Most fans produce two tachometer pulses per full revolution. These registers must
be updated at least once every second.
The fan tachometer reading registers must always return an accurate fan tachometer measurement, even when
a fan is disabled or non-functional. 3FFFh indicates that the fan is stalled, not spinning fast enough to measure,
or the tachometer input is not connected to a valid signal.
If the pulses per revolution of the fan is known, the RPM can be calculated with the following equation:
RPM= 22500 cycles/sec * 60 sec/min * 2 pulses / COUNT cycles / PULSES_PER_REV
where:
PULSES_PER_REV = the number of pulses that the fan produces per revolution
COUNT = The 14-bit value read from the tach register

If an external temperature input or the internal temperature sensor either exceeds the value set in the high limit
register or falls below the value set in the low limit register, the corresponding bit in the B_ and H_Error Status 1
register is set automatically by the LM94. For example, if the temperature read from the Remote1− and
Remote1+ inputs exceeds the Processor (Zone1) High Temp register limit setting, the ZN1_ERR bit in both
B_Error Status 1 and H_Error Status 1 registers is set. The temperature limits in these registers is represented
as 8 bit, 2’s complement, signed numbers in Celsius.
If any high temp limit register is set to 80h then the B_ and H_Error Status register bit for that temperature
channel is masked.

If any thermal zone exceeds the temperature set in the Fan Boost Limit register, both of the PWM outputs are set
to 100%. The fan boost function takes precedence over low-resolution manual override. High-resolution manual
overide takes priority over the fan boost function. This is a safety feature that attempts to cool the system if there
is a potentially catastrophic thermal event. If set to 7Fh and the fan control temperature resolution is 1°C, the
feature is disabled.
Default = 60°C = 3Ch for zones 1 and 2
Default = 35°C = 23h for zones 3 and 4
The temperature has to fall the number of degrees specified in the Fan Boost Hysteresis registers, below this
temperature to cause the PWM outputs to return to normal operation. The fan boost function can be disabled by
setting the associated register to 80h.

FFh as the high limit acts as a mask for that voltage sensor and so prevents this channel from being able to set
the associated error status bit in the B_ or H_ Error Status registers, for both high and low limit errors.
If a voltage input either exceeds the value set in the voltage high limit register or falls below the value set in the
voltage low limit register, the corresponding bit is set automatically by the LM94 in the B_ and H_Error Status
registers.

If a tachometer reading exceeds its limit (as defined by these registers) the corresponding bit is set in the Host
and BMC Error Status registers. The fan tachometer readings can be associated with a particular PWM output,
but the tach errors are not automatically masked when a PWM is at 0% or set to level that causes the fan RPM
to be below the limit purposely. In order to prevent false errors, care needs to be taken to make sure that the Fan
Tach Limits are properly set. Errors are never generated for a fan if its limit is set to 3FFFh.

In order for the LCFE1, LCFE2, FCFE1 and FCFE2 bits to work correctly, the ZN1E and ZN2E bits in the Zones
1/2 Spike Smoothing Control register (at address C2h) should be cleared.
Application Note: If hysteresis for voltage limit comparisons is non-zero, special care needs to be taken when
changing the voltage limit registers while a voltage error condition exists. If software relaxes the voltage limits in
an attempt to prevent an error condition, it may be necessary to relax the limits by an amount greater than the
hysteresis value and wait several milliseconds before attempting to clear the error status bit for the given voltage
channel. Once the error status bit has been cleared, the desired limit(s) can be programmed.

VRD10.2 Extended
Supports the VRD10.2 Extended specification from Intel. This mode has a
voltage range of 0.83125V to 1.600V with 6.25mV resolution and supports 7 VID
bits/pins.
10
VRD11 Mode 1
Supports the VRD11 specification from Intel. This mode has a voltage range of
0.83125V to 1.600V with 6.25mV resolution and supports 7 VID bits/pins (VID6VID0). It assumes VID7 is 0. This is the recommended mode of operation for
support of VRD10 and VRD11 without requiring additional hardware.
11
VRD11 Mode 2
Supports the VRD11 specification from Intel. This mode has a voltage range of
0.0375V to 1.600V with 12.5mV resolution and supports 7 VID bits/pins (VID7VID1). It assumes VID0 is 0. This mode measures voltage levels below
0.83125V for VRD11, but will require additional hardware to simultaneously
support VRD10 operation.
Supports the VRD10 specification from Intel and is backwards compatible with
the LM93 dynamic Vccp monitoring circuitry. This mode has a voltage range of
0.8375V to 1.600V with 12.5mV resolution and supports 6 VID bits/pins.
Application Note: Enabling Smart Tach mode is not supported while either PWM output is configured for 22.5
kHz. The behavior of the part is undefined if this configuration is programmed. Register E0h Special Function
TACH to PWM Binding must be setup when Smart Tach modes are enabled.

When set, the filtered temperature for zone 2a and 2b is used for both limit checking

cleared, the filtered temperature can be read by software from the filtered
temperature register.
If all the REMOTE1 or REMOTE2 pins are connected to a processor or chipset, instantaneous temperature
spikes may be sampled by the LM94. If these spikes are not ignored, the PWM outputs may cause the fans to
turn on prematurely and produce unpleasant noise. Also, false error events may occur. For this reason, any zone
that is connected to a chipset or processor may need spike smoothing enabled. The spike smoothing provides
additional filtering above and beyond any ΣΔ A/D inherent averaging.
When spike smoothing is enabled, the temperature reading registers still reflect the current value of the
temperature—not the filtered value. Only the filtered temperature registers reflect the filtered value.

R/W
When this is set by software, P1_PROCHOT will be asserted by the LM94 with the duty
cycle selected by PHT_DC.
7
FORCE_P2
R/W
When this is set by software, P2_PROCHOT will be asserted by the LM94 with the duty
cycle selected by PHT_DC.
Note that if the P1P2_PROCHOT bit is set to short the Px_PROCHOT pins together, both Px_PROCHOT
outputs will be driven together, even if only one of the FORCE_Px bits is set.
The period of the PWM signal driven on Px_PROCHOT is 3.56 ms (80 internal 22.5 kHz clocks). The asserted
time can be increased in 5 clock increments. 5 clocks is about 220 µs and would represent 6.25% percent
throttled.

This register can bind PWM1 to several different control sources. The temperature zones control the PWM duty
cycle using the table lookup function. The Px_PROCHOT and VRDx_HOT inputs control the PWM using the
ramp up/ramp down functions. If multiple control sources are bound to PWM1, the largest duty cycle being
requested will be used.

There are two look up tables of 13 steps (12 offsets), one for LUT 1 and 2 the other for LUT 3 and 4. Each 8-bit
offset register contains the offset temperature for LUT 1 and 2 as well as the offset temperature for LUT 3 and 4.
The format for the offsets is a 4-bit unsigned value, and one LSB is either 1°C or 0.5°C. The offset resolution is
controlled by LT34_RS and LT12_RS bits found in the Special Function Control 2 register (at address BDh).
Therefore, the offset range is variable as well and is either 15°C to 0°C or 7.5°C to 0°C.
See the FAN CONTROL section for information on how the base temperature/lookup table should be used for
controlling the PWM output(s).

If a TACH channel is bound to a PWM channel, TACH errors on that channel are automatically masked when the
bound PWM is at 0% duty cycle or performing spin-up. Behavior is undefined if a TACH channel is bound to both
PWM outputs. This register must be setup when Smart Tach Mode is enabled in register BDh, Special Function
Control 2, and when Tach Boost is enabled in register E1h, Tachometer Fan Boost Cotrol.

TACH boost status: When set, this bit indicates that the TACH error
boost has been triggered and is currently requesting 100% PWM. If
bits [5:0] are configured for an infinite timeout, and the TACH error(s)
have ceased, then writing a zero to this bit will un-trigger the TACH
boost. If TACH error boost is disabled, this bit always returns a 0.

GPI4 Auto Mask Enable
If this bit is set, an error event on GPI4 causes all other error events to be

The BMC Error Status registers do not reflect any new error events until the
GPI4_ERR bit is cleared in the B_GPI Error Status register. The HOST Error
Status registers do not reflect any new error events until the GPI4_ERR bit
is cleared in the H_GPI Error Status register.
If a CPU_THERMTRIP signal is connected to GPIO4, this ensures that
unwanted error events do not fire once CPU_THERMTRIP is asserted.

R/W
When this bit is 0, the LM94 operates in basic mode. All error events are
masked. The auto fan control algorithm is disabled. Both PWMs are set to
0%. All monitoring functions are active and the value registers are updated.
Once this bit is set, error events are no longer globally masked, and the
auto-fan control algorithm is enabled. Fan boost uses the programmed
values.
It is expected that all limit and setup registers are set by BIOS or application
software prior to setting this bit.

LOCK
R/W
Setting this bit locks all registers and register bits that are indicated as
lockable. Lockable registers have an “x” in the Lock column of their
description. This register is locked once it is set. This bit can only be cleared
by an external device asserting RESET.

R/W
In some configurations it may be required to have both processors throttling
at the same rate. When this bit is set, the LM94 connects P1_PROCHOT to
P2_PROCHOT. If P1_PROCHOT and P2_PROCHOT are already shorted
by some other means, this bit should NOT be set. Doing so would cause
both PROCHOT signals to be stuck low until this bit is cleared.

When this bit is set the ALERT output will function in the thermal comparator

inputs), the current at that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 100 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins
that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10 mA to ten. Parasitic components and/or ESD protection circuitry
are shown below for the LM94’s pins. Care should be taken not to forward bias the parasitic diode, D1, present on pins D+ and D− as
shown in circuits C and D. Doing so by more than 50 mV may corrupt temperature measurements. D1 and the ESD Clamp are
connected between V+ (VDD, AD_IN16) and GND as shown in circuit B. SNP stands for snap-back device.
Typical parameters are at TJ = TA = 25 °C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model, 200 pF discharged directly into each pin. Charged
device model (CDM) simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an automated
assembler) then rapidly being discharged.
Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non lead-free packages.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND, unless otherwise noted.
The maximum power dissipation must be de-rated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA and the ambient temperature,
TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD MAX= (TJMAX − TA) / θJA. The θJAfor the LM94 when mounted to
1 oz. copper foil PCB the θJA with different air flow is listed in the following table.
