LM90 ± 3˚C Accurate, Remote Diode and Local Digital Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface February 2002 LM90 ± 3˚C Accurate, Remote Diode and Local Digital Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface General Description The LM90 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) serial interface. The LM90 accurately measures its own temperature as well as the temperature of an external device, such as processor thermal diode or diode connected transistor such as the 2N3904. The temperature of any ASIC can be accurately determined using the LM90 as long as a dedicated diode (semiconductor junction) is available on the target die. The LM90 remote sensor accuracy of ± 3˚C is factory trimmed for the 1.008 typical non-ideality factor of the mobile Pentium™ III thermal diode. The LM90 has an Offset register to allow measuring other diodes without requiring continuous software management. Contact hardware.monitor.team@nsc.com to obtain the latest data for new processors. Activation of the ALERT output occurs when any temperature goes outside a preprogrammed window set by the HIGH and LOW temperature limit registers or exceeds the T_CRIT temperature limit. Activation of the T_CRIT_A occurs when any temperature exceeds the T_CRIT programmed limit. The LM90 is pin and register compatible with the LM86, Analog Devices ADM1032 and Maxim MAX6657/8. n On-board local temperature sensing n 10 bit plus sign remote diode temperature data format, 0.125 ˚C resolution n Diode fault detection circuitry n T_CRIT_A output useful for system shutdown (open diode does not activate T_CRIT_A) n ALERT output supports SMBus 2.0 protocol n SMBus 2.0 compatible interface, supports TIMEOUT n 8-pin MSOP packages Key Specifications j Supply Voltage j Supply Current 3.0V to 3.6V 0.8mA (typ) TA=25˚C to 125˚C j Local Temp Accuracy (includes quantization error) ± 4.0˚C (max) j Remote Diode Temp Accuracy (includes quantization error) TA=30˚C to 50˚C, TD=60˚C to 100˚C TA=0˚C to 85˚C, TD=25˚C to 125˚C ± 3.0˚C (max) ± 4.0˚C (max) Features n Accurately senses die temperature of remote ICs or diode junctions n Offset register allows sensing a variety of thermal diodes accurately Applications n System Thermal Management (e.g. Laptop, Desktop, Workstations, Server) n Electronic Test Equipment n Office Electronics LM90 Simplified Block Diagram 20033701 Pentium™ is a trademark of Intel Corporation. © 2002 National Semiconductor Corporation DS200337 www.national.com LM90 Connection Diagram MSOP-8 20033702 TOP VIEW Ordering Information Package Marking LM90CIMM LM90CIMMX T11C T11C NS Package Number MUA08A (MSOP-8) MUA08A (MSOP-8) Transport Media 1000 Units on Tape and Reel 3500 Units on Tape and Reel Pin Descriptions Label VDD Pin # 1 Function Positive Supply Voltage Input Diode Current Source D+ 2 Typical Connection DC Voltage from 3.0 V to 3.6 V To Diode Anode.

Note 8: Local temperature accuracy does not include the effects of self-heating. The rise in temperature due to self-heating is the product of the internal power dissipation of the LM90 and the thermal resistance. See (Note 5) for the thermal resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation. Note 9: Quiescent current will not increase substantially with an SMBus. Note 10: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM90 can be read at any time without regard to conversion state (and will yield last conversion result). Note 11: Default values set at power up. Note 12: The output rise time is measured from (VIN(0)max + 0.15V) to (VIN(1)min − 0.15V). Note 13: The output fall time is measured from (VIN(1)min - 0.15V) to (VIN(1)min + 0.15V). Note 14: Holding the SMBData and/or SMBCLK lines Low for a time interval greater than tTIMEOUT will reset the LM90’s SMBus state machine, therefore setting SMBData and SMBCLK pins to a high impedance state. 1.0 Functional Description The LM90 temperature sensor incorporates a delta VBE based temperature sensor using a Local or Remote and a 10-bit plus sign ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter). The LM90 is compatible with the serial SMBus version 2.0 two-wire interface. Digital comparators compare the measured Local Temperature (LT) to the Local High (LHS), Local Low (LLS) and Local T_CRIT (LCS) user-programmable temperature limit registers. The measured Remote Temperature (RT) is digitally compared to the Remote High (RHS), Remote Low (RLS) and Remote T_CRIT (RCS) user-programmable temperature limit registers. Activation of the ALERT output indicates that a comparison is greater than the limit preset in a T_CRIT or HIGH limit register or less than the limit preset in a LOW limit register. The T_CRIT_A output responds as a true comparator with built in hysteresis. The hysteresis is set by the value placed in the Hysteresis register (TH). Activation of T_CRIT_A occurs when the temperature is above the T_CRIT setpoint. T_CRIT_A remains activated until the temperature goes below the setpoint calculated by T_CRIT − TH. The hysteresis register impacts both the remote temperature and local temperature readings. The LM90 may be placed in a low power consumption (Shutdown) mode by setting the RUN/STOP bit found in the Configuration register. In the Shutdown mode, the LM90’s SMBus interface remains while all circuitry not required is turned off. The Local temperature reading and setpoint data registers are 8-bits wide. The format of the 11-bit remote temperature data is a 16-bit left justified word. Two 8-bit registers, high and low bytes, are provided for each setpoint as well as the temperature reading. Two offset registers (RTOLB and RTOHB) can be used to compensate for non_ideality error, discussed further in Section 4.1 DIODE NON-IDEALITY. The remote temperature reading reported is adjusted by subtracting from or adding to the actual temperature reading the value placed in the offset registers. 1.1 CONVERSION SEQUENCE The LM90 takes approximately 31.25 ms to convert the Local Temperature (LT), Remote Temperature (RT), and to update all of its registers. Only during the conversion process the busy bit (D7) in the Status register (02h) is high. These conversions are addressed in a round robin sequence. The conversion rate may be modified by the Conversion Rate Register (04h). When the conversion rate is modified a delay is inserted between conversions, the actual conversion time remains at 31.25ms. Different conversion rates will cause the LM90 to draw different amounts of supply current as shown in Figure 2. 20033739 FIGURE 2. Conversion Rate Effect on Power Supply Current 1.2 THE ALERT OUTPUT The LM90’s ALERT pin is an active-low open-drain output that is triggered by a temperature conversion that is outside the limits defined by the temperature setpoint registers. Reset of the ALERT output is dependent upon the selected method of use. The LM90’s ALERT pin is versatile and will accommodate three different methods of use to best serve the system designer: as a temperature comparator, as a temperature based interrupt flag, and as part of an SMBus ALERT system. The three methods of use are further described below. The ALERT and interrupt methods are different only in how the user interacts with the LM90. Each temperature reading (LT and RT) is associated with a T_CRIT setpoint register (LCS, RCS), a HIGH setpoint register (LHS and RHS) and a LOW setpoint register (LLS and RLS). At the end of every temperature reading, a digital comparison determines whether that reading is above its HIGH or T_CRIT setpoint or below its LOW setpoint. If so, the corresponding bit in the STATUS REGISTER is set. If the ALERT mask bit is not high, any bit set in the STATUS REGISTER, with the exception of Busy (D7) and OPEN (D2), will cause the ALERT output to be pulled low. Any temperature conversion that is out of the limits defined by the temperature setpoint registers will trigger an ALERT. Additionally, the ALERT mask bit in the Configuration register must be cleared to trigger an ALERT in all modes. 1.2.1 ALERT Output as a Temperature Comparator When the LM90 is implemented in a system in which it is not serviced by an interrupt routine, the ALERT output could be used as a temperature comparator. Under this method of 7 www.national.com LM90 1.0 Functional Description (Continued) use, once the condition that triggered the ALERT to go low is no longer present, the ALERT is de-asserted (Figure 3). For example, if the ALERT output was activated by the comparison of LT > LHS, when this condition is no longer true the ALERT will return HIGH. This mode allows operation without software intervention, once all registers are configured during set-up. In order for the ALERT to be used as a temperature comparator, bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must be set high. This is not the power on default default state. 20033728 FIGURE 4. ALERT Output as an Interrupt Temperature Response Diagram 1.2.3 ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT When the ALERT output is connected to one or more ALERT outputs of other SMBus compatible devices and to a master, an SMBus alert line is created. Under this implementation, the LM90’s ALERT should be operated using the ARA (Alert Response Address) protocol. The SMBus 2.0 ARA protocol, defined in the SMBus specification 2.0, is a procedure designed to assist the master in resolving which part generated an interrupt and service that interrupt while impeding system operation as little as possible. The SMBus alert line is connected to the open-drain ports of all devices on the bus thereby AND’ing them together. The ARA is a method by which with one command the SMBus master may identify which part is pulling the SMBus alert line LOW and prevent it from pulling it LOW again for the same triggering condition. When an ARA command is received by all devices on the bus, the devices pulling the SMBus alert line LOW, first, send their address to the master and second, release the SMBus alert line after recognizing a successful transmission of their address. The SMBus 1.1 and 2.0 specification state that in response to an ARA (Alert Response Address) “after acknowledging the slave address the device must disengage its SMBALERT pulldown”. Furthermore, “if the host still sees SMBALERT low when the message transfer is complete, it knows to read the ARA again”. This SMBus “disengaging of SMBALERT” requirement prevents locking up the SMBus alert line. Competitive parts may address this “disengaging of SMBALERT” requirement differently than the LM90 or not at all. SMBus systems that implement the ARA protocol as suggested for the LM90 will be fully compatible with all competitive parts. The LM90 fulfills “disengaging of SMBALERT” by setting the ALERT mask bit (bit D7 in the Configuration register, at address 09h) after successfully sending out its address in response to an ARA and releasing the ALERT output pin. Once the ALERT mask bit is activated, the ALERT output pin will be disabled until enabled by software. In order to enable the ALERT the master must read the STATUS REGISTER, at address 02h, during the interrupt service routine and then reset the ALERT mask bit in the Configuration register to 0 at the end of the interrupt service routine. The following sequence describes the ARA response protocol. 1. Master Senses SMBus alert line low 20033731 FIGURE 3. ALERT Comparator Temperature Response Diagram 1.2.2 ALERT Output as an Interrupt The LM90’s ALERT output can be implemented as a simple interrupt signal when it is used to trigger an interrupt service routine. In such systems it is undesirable for the interrupt flag to repeatedly trigger during or before the interrupt service routine has been completed. Under this method of operation, during a read of the STATUS REGISTER the LM90 will set the ALERT mask bit (D7 of the Configuration register) if any bit in the STATUS REGISTER is set, with the exception of Busy (D7) and OPEN (D2). This prevents further ALERT triggering until the master has reset the ALERT mask bit, at the end of the interrupt service routine. The STATUS REGISTER bits are cleared only upon a read command from the master (see Figure 4) and will be re-asserted at the end of the next conversion if the triggering condition(s) persist(s). In order for the ALERT to be used as a dedicated interrupt signal, bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must be set low. This is the power on default state. The following sequence describes the response of a system that uses the ALERT output pin as a interrupt flag: 1. 2. 3. Master Senses ALERT low Master reads the LM90 STATUS REGISTER to determine what caused the ALERT LM90 clears STATUS REGISTER, resets the ALERT HIGH and sets the ALERT mask bit (D7 in the Configuration register). Master attends to conditions that caused the ALERT to be triggered. The fan is started, setpoint limits are adjusted, etc. Master resets the ALERT mask (D7 in the Configuration register). 4. 5. www.national.com 8 LM90 1.0 Functional Description 2. 3. 4. Alerting Device(s) send ACK. (Continued) Master sends a START followed by the Alert Response Address (ARA) with a Read Command. Alerting Device(s) send their Address. While transmitting their address, alerting devices sense whether their address has been transmitted correctly. (The LM90 will reset its ALERT output and set the ALERT mask bit once its complete address has been transmitted successfully.) 5. Master/slave NoACK 6. Master sends STOP 7. Master attends to conditions that caused the ALERT to be triggered. The STATUS REGISTER is read and fan started, setpoint limits adjusted, etc. 8. Master resets the ALERT mask (D7 in the Configuration register). The ARA, 000 1100, is a general call address. No device should ever be assigned this address. Bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must be set low in order for the LM90 to respond to the ARA command. The ALERT output can be disabled by setting the ALERT mask bit, D7, of the Configuration register. The power on default is to have the ALERT mask bit and the ALERT configure bit low. 20033706 FIGURE 6. T_CRIT_A Temperature Response Diagram 1.4 POWER ON RESET DEFAULT STATES LM90 always powers up to these known default states. The LM90 remains in these states until after the first conversion. 1.

Filter and Alert Configure Register set to 00h; filter disabled, ALERT output set as an SMBus ALERT 10. Conversion Rate Register set to 8h; conversion rate set to 16 conv./sec. 1.5 SMBus INTERFACE The LM90 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBData line is bi-directional. The LM90 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to SMBus specifications, the LM90 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits A6 through A0 are internally programmed and can not be changed by software or hardware. The complete slave address is: A6 1 A5 0 A4 0 A3 1 A2 1 A1 0 A0 0 20033729 FIGURE 5. ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT Temperature Response Diagram 1.3 T_CRIT_A OUTPUT and T_CRIT LIMIT T_CRIT_A is activated when any temperature reading is greater than the limit preset in the critical temperature setpoint register (T_CRIT), as shown in Figure 6. The Status Register can be read to determine which event caused the alarm. A bit in the Status Register is set high to indicate which temperature reading exceeded the T_CRIT setpoint temperature and caused the alarm, see Section 2.3. Local and remote temperature diodes are sampled in sequence by the A/D converter. The T_CRIT_A output and the Status Register flags are updated after every Local and Remote temperature conversion. T_CRT_A follows the state of the comparison, it is reset when the temperature falls below the setpoint RCS-TH. The Status Register flags are reset only after the Status Register is read and if a temperature conversion(s) is/are below the T_CRIT setpoint, as shown in . Figure 6 9 1.6 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT Temperature data can only be read from the Local and Remote Temperature registers; the setpoint registers (T_CRIT, LOW, HIGH) are read/write. Remote temperature data is represented by an 11-bit, two’s complement word with an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to 0.125˚C. The data format is a left justified 16-bit word available in two 8-bit registers: Temperature +125˚C Digital Output Binary 0111 1101 0000 0000 Hex 7D00h www.national.com LM90 1.0 Functional Description Temperature +25˚C +1˚C +0.125˚C 0˚C −0.125˚C −1˚C −25˚C −55˚C Digital Output Binary 0001 1001 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111 1110 0000 1111 1111 0000 0000 1110 0111 0000 0000 1100 1001 0000 0000 (Continued) itself will not activate the ALERT or T_CRIT_A outputs. If the remote temperature reading is greater than its T_CRIT level when the OPEN bit is set the T_CRIT_A will remain inactive. In the event that the D+ pin is shorted to ground or D−, the Remote Temperature High Byte (RTHB) register is loaded with −128˚C (1000 0000) and the OPEN bit (D2) in the status register will not be set. Since operating the LM90 at −128˚C is beyond it’s operational limits, this temperature reading represents this shorted fault condition. If the value in the Remote Low Setpoint High Byte Register (RLSHB) is more than −128˚C and the Alert Mask is disabled, ALERT will be pulled low. Remote diode temperature sensors that have been previously released and are competitive with the LM90 output a code of 0˚C if the external diode is short-circuited. This change is an improvement that allows a reading of 0˚C to be truly interpreted as a genuine 0˚C reading and not a fault condition. 1.9 COMMUNICATING with the LM90 The data registers in the LM90 are selected by the Command Register. At power-up the Command Register is set to “00”, the location for the Read Local Temperature Register. The Command Register latches the last location it was set to. Each data register in the LM90 falls into one of four types of user accessibility: 1. Read only 2. Write only 3. Read/Write same address 4. Read/Write different address A Write to the LM90 will always include the address byte and the command byte. A write to any register requires one data byte. Reading the LM90 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 LM90), then the read can simply consist of an address byte, followed by retrieving the data byte. 2. If the Command Register needs to be set, then an address byte, command byte, repeat start, and another address byte will accomplish a read. The data byte has the most significant bit first. At the end of a read, the LM90 can accept either acknowledge or No Acknowledge from the Master (No Acknowledge is typically used as a signal for the slave that the Master has read its last byte). It takes the LM90 31.25ms to measure the temperature of the remote diode and internal diode. When retrieving all 10 bits from a previous remote diode temperature measurement, the master must insure that all 10 bits are from the same temperature conversion. This may be achieved by using one-shot mode or by setting the conversion rate and monitoring the busy bit such that no conversion occurs in between reading the MSB and LSB of the last temperature conversion.

A “high” level will not be observed on these pins until pull-up current is provided by some external source, typically a pull-up resistor. Choice of resistor value depends on many system factors but, in general, the pull-up resistor should be as large as possible. This will minimize any internal temperature reading errors due to internal heating of the LM90. The maximum resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based on LM90 specification for High Level Output Current with the supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82kΩ(5%) or 88.7kΩ(1%). 1.8 DIODE FAULT DETECTION The LM90 is equipped with operational circuitry designed to detect fault conditions concerning the remote diode. In the event that the D+ pin is detected as shorted to VDD or floating, the Remote Temperature High Byte (RTHB) register is loaded with +127˚C, the Remote Temperature Low Byte (RTLB) register is loaded with 0, and the OPEN bit (D2) in the status register is set. As a result, if the Remote T_CRIT setpoint register (RCS) is set to a value less than +127˚C the ALERT output pin will be pulled low, if the Alert Mask is disabled. If the Remote HIGH Setpoint High Byte Register (RHSHB) is set to a value less than +127˚C then ALERT will be pulled low, if the Alert Mask is disabled.

FIGURE 7. SMBus Timing Diagrams 1.10 SERIAL INTERFACE RESET In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the LM90 is transmitting on the SMBData line, the LM90 must be returned to a known state in the communication protocol. This may be done in one of two ways: 1. When SMBData is LOW, the LM90 SMBus state machine resets to the SMBus idle state if either SMBData or SMBCLK are held low for more than 35ms (tTIMEOUT). Note that according to SMBus specification 2.0 all devices are to timeout when either the SMBCLK or SMBData lines are held low for 25-35ms. Therefore, to insure a timeout of all devices on the bus the SMBCLK or SMBData lines must be held low for at least 35ms. 2. When SMBData is HIGH, have the master initiate an SMBus start. The LM90 will respond properly to an SMBus start condition at any point during the communication. After the start the LM90 will expect an SMBus Address address byte. 1.11 DIGITAL FILTER In order to suppress erroneous remote temperature readings due to noise, the LM90 incorporates a user-configured digital filter. The filter is accessed in the FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER at BFh. The filter can be set according to the following table. 11 www.national.com LM90 1.0 Functional Description D2 0 0 1 1 D1 0 1 0 1 Filter (Continued) Level 2 sets maximum filtering.

The Fault Queue acts to insure a remote temperature measurement is genuinely beyond a HIGH, LOW or T_CRIT setpoint by not triggering until three consecutive out of limit measurements have been made, see Figure 10. The fault queue defaults off upon power-up and may be activated by setting bit D0 in the Configuration register (09h) to “1”. 20033730 FIGURE 10. Fault Queue Temperature Response Diagram 1.13 One-Shot Register The One-Shot register is used to initiate a single conversion and comparison cycle when the device is in standby mode, after which the device returns to standby. This is not a data register and it is the write operation that causes the one-shot conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and is not stored.

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 LM90’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 LM90 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 LM90’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 LM90’s temperature. The LM90 has been optimized to measure the remote diode of a Pentium III processor as shown in Figure 11. A discrete diode can also 16 www.national.com LM90 4.0 Application Hints (Continued) 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. In the above equation, η and IS are dependant upon the process that was used in the fabrication of the particular diode. By forcing two currents with a very controlled ration (N) and measuring the resulting voltage difference, it is possible to eliminate the IS term. Solving for the forward voltage difference yields the relationship: 20033715 Mobile Pentium III or 3904 Temperature vs LM90 Temperature Reading FIGURE 11. 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 III microprocessor for temperature measurement. Therefore, the LM90 can sense the temperature of this diode effectively. 4.1 DIODE NON-IDEALITY 4.1.1 Diode Non-Ideality Factor Effect on Accuracy When a transistor is connected as a diode, the following relationship holds for variables VBE, T and If: The non-ideality factor, η, is the only other parameter not accounted for and 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 III 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. The following table shows the variations in non-ideality for a variety of processors. Processor Family Pentium II Pentium III CPUID 67h Pentium III CPUID 68h/PGA370Socket/Celeron Pentium 4, 423 pin Pentium 4, 478 pin MMBT3904 AMD Athlon MP model 6 1.002 1 1 1.0057 0.9933 0.9933 η, non-ideality min typ 1.0065 1.0065 1.008 1.0045 1.0045 1.003 1.008 1.016 max 1.0173 1.0125 1.0125 1.0368 1.0368 where: • • • • q = 1.6x10−19 Coulombs (the electron charge), T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin k = 1.38x10−23joules/K (Boltzmann’s constant), η is the non-ideality factor of the process the diode is manufactured on, • IS = Saturation Current and is process dependent, • If = Forward Current through the base emitter junction • VBE = Base Emitter Voltage drop In the active region, the -1 term is negligible and may be eliminated, yielding the following equation 4.1.2 Compensating for Diode Non-Ideality In order to compensate for the errors introduced by non-ideality, the temperature sensor is calibrated for a particular processor. National Semiconductor temperature sensors are always calibrated to the typical non-ideality of a given processor type. The LM90 is calibrated for the non-ideality of a mobile Pentium III processor, 1.008. When a temperature sensor calibrated for a particular processor type is used with a different processor type or a given processor type has a non-ideality that strays from the typical, errors are introduced. Figure 12 shows the minimum and maximum errors introduced to a temperature sensor calibrated specifically to the typical value of the processor type it is connected to. The errors in this figure are attributed only to the variation in non-ideality from the typical value. In Figure 13 is a plot of the errors that result from using a temperature sensor calibrated for a Pentium II, the LM84, with a typical Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon MP Model 6. 17 www.national.com LM90 4.0 Application Hints (Continued) 20033736 20033737 Errors Induced when Temperature Sensor is Not Calibrated to Typical Non-Ideality FIGURE 13. Error Caused by Non-Ideality Factor FIGURE 12. 20033738 Compensating for an Untargeted Non-Ideality Factor FIGURE 14. Temperature errors associated with non-ideality may be reduced in a specific temperature range of concern through use of the offset registers (11h and 12h). Figure 14 shows how the offset register may be used to compensate for the non-ideality errors shown in Figure 13. For the case of non-ideality=1.008, the offset register was set to −0.5˚C resulting in the calculated residual error as shown in Figure 14. This offset has resulted in an error of less than 0.05˚C for the temperatures measured in the critical range between 60 to 100˚C. This method yeilds a first order correction factor. Please send an email to hardware.monitor.team@nsc.com requesting further information on our recommended setting of the offset register for different processor types. www.national.com 18 LM90 4.0 Application Hints (Continued) 4.2 PCB LAYOUT for MINIMIZING NOISE 4. compensated by using the Remote Temperature Offset Registers, since the value placed in these registers will automatically be subtracted from or added to the remote temperature reading. Diode traces should be surrounded by a GND guard ring to either side, above and below if possible. This GND guard should not be between the D+ and D− lines. In the event that noise does couple to the diode lines it would be ideal if it is coupled common mode. That is equally to the D+ and D− lines. 5. Avoid routing diode traces in close proximity to power supply switching or filtering inductors. 6. Avoid running diode traces close to or parallel to high speed digital and bus lines. Diode traces should be kept at least 2cm apart from the high speed digital traces. 7. If it is necessary to cross high speed digital traces, the diode traces and the high speed digital traces should cross at a 90 degree angle. 8. The ideal place to connect the LM90’s GND pin is as close as possible to the Processors GND associated with the sense diode. 9. Leakage current between D+ and GND should be kept to a minimum. One nano-ampere of leakage can cause as much as 1˚C of error in the diode temperature reading. Keeping the printed circuit board as clean as possible will minimize leakage current. Noise coupling into the digital lines greater than 400mVp-p (typical hysteresis) and undershoot less than 500mV below GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with the LM90. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although the SMBus maximum frequency of communication is rather low (100kHz max), care still needs to be taken to ensure proper termination within a system with multiple parts on the bus and long printed circuit board traces. An RC lowpass filter with a 3db corner frequency of about 40MHz is included on the LM90’s SMBCLK input. Additional resistance can be added in series with the SMBData and SMBCLK lines to further help filter noise and ringing. Minimize noise coupling by keeping digital traces out of switching power supply areas as well as ensuring that digital lines containing high speed data communications cross at right angles to the SMBData and SMBCLK lines. 20033717 FIGURE 15. Ideal Diode Trace Layout In a noisy environment, such as a processor mother board, layout considerations are very critical. Noise induced on traces running between the remote temperature diode sensor and the LM90 can cause temperature conversion errors. Keep in mind that the signal level the LM90 is trying to measure is in microvolts. The following guidelines should be followed: 1. Place a 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitor as close as possible to the VDDpin and the recommended 2.2 nF capacitor as close as possible to the LM90’s D+ and D− pins. Make sure the traces to the 2.2nF capacitor are matched. 2. The recommended 2.2nF diode bypass capacitor actually has a range of TBDpF to 3.3nF. The average temperature accuracy will not degrade. Increasing the capacitance will lower the corner frequency where differential noise error affects the temperature reading thus producing a reading that is more stable. Conversely, lowering the capacitance will increase the corner frequency where differential noise error affects the temperature reading thus producing a reading that is less stable. 3. Ideally, the LM90 should be placed within 10cm of the Processor diode pins with the traces being as straight, short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1Ω can cause as much as 1˚C of error. This error can be 19 www.national.com LM90 ± 3˚C Accurate, Remote Diode and Local Digital Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface Physical Dimensions unless otherwise noted inches (millimeters) 8-Lead Molded Mini-Small-Outline Package (MSOP), JEDEC Registration Number MO-187 Order Number LM90CIMM or LM90CIMMX NS Package Number MUA08A 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.
